Candice is a "hurt recovery coach" and has a huge passion for helping people come home to themselves.Because when everything goes sideways in life, you often lose yourself ?You might shatter into a million pieces. Become overwhelmed. Experience intense panic attacks. And end up drenched in tears on your bathroom floor at 2am wondering what to do.Life can be rough.In this episode we covered some heavy stuff.But — it was inspiring.Candice overcame her own crime-related experiences (starting at the age of five), so she gets it.Candice has done the work on herself.Which is the most important part of working with any coach or therapist. Degrees are important, but life experience is the real deal.(As many of you know from building your own business...)Candice now runs a thriving online coaching business where she tries to "run herself out of a job".She doesn't want her clients to rely on her — she empowers them to stand on their own two feet.Candice helps her clients re-create their identities after experiencing intense trauma.She helps them find their way through all this heavy stuff.How?By using a combination of mind-mapping, exposure therapy, and neuroception.Meanwhile, Candice is running around after her two young kids, functioning on virtually no sleep, and still kicking-ass at life.Her secret?When something is important to you, you will make time for it.There's always going to be distractions. Excuses.Reasons to avoid doing something.You have to go out and make it happen anyway ?We all face challenges. But it's how we respond to those challenges that makes all the difference.And it starts with listening to your body, and overcoming your mind. Connect with Candice:Instagramwww.hurtrecoverycoach.comWant to get into your body and silence your overactive mind?
