EP- 154- True Wellness VS Consumerism: Which are you practicing?
Wellness Secrets vs Consumerism- Too often we intertwine and confuse the two -- one should be free and available to us at all times and the other should be completely separate as a shopping experience- for companies focused on profit should remain a consumer facing for profit business. There's nothing wrong with a for profit company - I would say it is important to know the difference and know wellness is a free and available practice to all. Here are some of my fave free ways to well & sites I love - written by each individual posted below. A free meditation is avail at the end of this podcast. xx thank you for listening xxCandice

Customer Reviews
Beautiful, deep, honest
I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and Candice always provides honest, raw, helpful information in all aspects of life. Her podcast has helped me in so many ways and one big way is being able to show myself the same grace and compassion that I so easily give to others. She was one of the first podcasters I found to really hit on the experience of being a child of immigrant parents but still being deeply connected to your roots and navigating that whilst growing up in America and how to not lose that even in pursuit of an artistic career. It is so important! I absolutely love this podcast, the realness, how she sticks to her integrity, through it all, and continues to provide high quality work.
A Shining Light
Candice shares her life lessons, wisdom, positivity and light in this beautifully produced podcast series. I’ve been tuning in for years and found that most of all, it’s taught me to place great importance on responding gracefully to whatever life throws at you.
Candice’s kindness shows through in each episode inspiring me to deepen my connection to genuine kindness, sincerity & humility.
In Episode 60 Candice talks about her health programme on engaging in consistent workouts (barre/yoga/Pilates), eating clean (Clean Green Drinks & Clean Green Eats) & cutting out sugar (the matcha cleanse). It’s the only method I’ve seen work after a year of little result from immense efforts. Somehow it has touched upon all elements required for me to see the change I want to see physically, mentally and spiritually. Thank you for the mention Candice ✨ - you are truly an amazing mentor to have 🙏🏻.
With love,
Aakanksha ❤️ (@paceandglow)
Soap box?
Ep 92 was a bizarre, curse-laden rant. Praise for Andrew Weil amongst others who deserve it then criticism for IIN where Andrew Weil lectured. Just contradictory, weird and doesn’t really go anywhere.
Shame bc I love Candice. Her Clean Green Drinks is one of my fav books, but this episode was terrible— a platform for a somewhat deranged rant.
