    What would it feel like to allow rest… instead of striving?

    In this gentle, soul-soothing episode of The Spiritual Cupcake, Candace invites you into a new kind of nourishment — one that asks nothing of you except to soften, slow down, and simply be. We often think of nourishment as something active: eating well, tending to our skin, caring for our relationships, pouring joy into our days. And while all of those things matter, there is a quieter nourishment calling many of us in this season — the nourishment of rest. This episode is an invitation to set the hustle down, loosen your grip on the to-do list, and allow your body, heart, and spirit to be filled by stillness. Instead of stepping into the new year with more goals, more tasks, and more expectations, Candace gently challenges you to ask a different question: What can I take off my plate? What would it feel like to begin the year spacious… instead of striving?   💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   If you’ve been touched by the magic shared here and want to support the podcast, you can now buy me a coffee ☕️ - Thank you for supporting this little corner of joy. 💛 buymeacoffee.com/candacedunaway   If you are ready to dive in and start Growing A Grateful Heart you can get yourself a copy of the gratitude journal here:  Growing A Grateful Heart- A Daily Gratitude Journal   Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, a heart-centered space for healing, growth, and high-vibe living.

    Not for the metrics — for the magic

    In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a little story from the beginning of a podcasting summit in L.A. — a moment that became soul-level confirmation that she was exactly where she was meant to be. A beautiful woman Candace had previously recorded an episode with — where they talked about her late husband — shared that months later, when she finally felt ready to listen, she went to his grave and listened to the episode with him.  When Candace told her, “That is so, so special,” she replied with words that landed deeply: “Candace, every single podcast you do is that special.” In that moment, Candace realized she didn’t need downloads, or success metrics as affirmation. She only needed to keep creating from love, from flow, and from what felt true and authentic. This episode is a reminder that when we trust our path and create from the heart — in our own unique way — magic has a way of finding us in divine timing. 💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   If you’ve been touched by the magic shared here and want to support the podcast, you can now buy me a coffee ☕️ - Thank you for supporting this little corner of joy. 💛 buymeacoffee.com/candacedunaway   If you are ready to dive in and start Growing A Grateful Heart you can get yourself a copy of the gratitude journal here:  Growing A Grateful Heart- A Daily Gratitude Journal   Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, a heart-centered space for healing, growth, and high-vibe living.

    Are you asking yourself the right questions?

    In this insightful solo episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores the quiet magic of asking yourself the right questions — the ones that lead you back to your truth instead of away from it. Inspired by a moment inside a group membership, she reflects on how one question — “How can I be more like you?” — revealed a deeper, more important one waiting beneath: “How can I be more like me?”   💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   If you’ve been touched by the magic shared here and want to support the podcast, you can now buy me a coffee ☕️ - Thank you for supporting this little corner of joy. 💛 buymeacoffee.com/candacedunaway   If you are ready to dive in and start Growing A Grateful Heart you can get yourself a copy of the gratitude journal here:  Growing A Grateful Heart- A Daily Gratitude Journal   Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, a heart-centered space for healing, growth, and high-vibe living.

    Realignment aches before it eases

    In today’s episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace gets delightfully honest about something she never expected to be this excited about: custom orthotics. After years of body tightness, endless chiropractor and massage appointments, and a right foot that was always slipping in her shoe, Candace finally finds the missing piece that’s been affecting her alignment her whole life. With her new orthotics, she’s learning how a small foundational shift can transform everything — but also how important it is to ease into change gently. ✨ In this episode, we explore: Why orthotics became the most exciting purchase of Candace’s adult life How a lifetime of foot gripping led to chronic body tension Why treatments like massage or dry needling weren’t sticking The surprising soreness that came from wearing her orthotics too long too soon The life lesson in it all: realignment can feel uncomfortable at first How easing in slowly creates lasting change — in the body and in life Whether you’re navigating new habits, stepping into a new season, or learning to trust the process, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be rushed.

    Your ripple of light will shine on

    What if your light never truly fades? In this soulful episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a tender story about her son choosing a book from a little free library — The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner. On the back, she finds a line that sparks a powerful reflection: “I read somewhere that a lot of the stars we see don't exist anymore. They've already died and it's taken millions of years for their light to reach earth," Dill said. ”That wouldn't be a bad way to die," Lydia said. "Giving off light for millions of years after you're gone." This episode explores how, just like starlight, our light continues to travel long after we’ve left a place — or even this world.  💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   If you’ve been touched by the magic shared here and want to support the podcast, you can now buy me a coffee ☕️ - Thank you for supporting this little corner of joy. 💛 buymeacoffee.com/candacedunaway   If you are ready to dive in and start Growing A Grateful Heart you can get yourself a copy of the gratitude journal here:  Growing A Grateful Heart- A Daily Gratitude Journal   Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, a heart-centered space for healing, growth, and high-vibe living.

    Rooted in gratitude

    In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares the story of how her journey with gratitude began — from a simple Facebook post that sparked a daily practice, to creating her own gratitude journal nearly ten years later. ✨ She reflects on how practicing gratitude has shifted her perspective and opened her heart to the ordinary, simple, and beautiful moments that fill each day. Candace also shares how she’s brought this practice into the classroom, helping students from grade 1 to 6 connect more deeply with themselves and each other through sharing what they’re grateful for. 💖 Along the way, Candace talks about how self-love became a natural extension of her gratitude practice — and how learning to truly love ourselves, just as we are, is one of the most important journeys of our lifetime. If you’re ready to begin your own gratitude practice, Candace has created a beautiful printable journal called Growing a Grateful Heart — a gentle guide to help you notice the magic in the everyday and grow a more grateful heart. 🌸 💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   If you’ve been touched by the magic shared here and want to support the podcast, you can now buy me a coffee ☕️ - Thank you for supporting this little corner of joy. 💛 buymeacoffee.com/candacedunaway   If you are ready to dive in and start Growing A Grateful Heart you can get yourself a copy of the gratitude journal here:  Growing A Grateful Heart- A Daily Gratitude Journal   Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, a heart-centered space for healing, growth, and high-vibe living.

    What's that whisper? - Heather Dimick

    In this heartwarming and laughter-filled conversation, Candace is joined by her friend Heather — host of the What’s That Whisper? podcast and creator of a soulful affirmation clothing line by the same name. Heather shares about her upbringing in Anchorage, Alaska, where substance abuse surrounded her but never defined her. She opens up about leaving home at 17, following her inner guidance, and learning to listen to the subtle whispers that lead us toward healing, creativity, and purpose. Together, Candace and Heather explore how powerful it can be to follow those little nudges — and how sometimes, the whispers are as simple (and hilarious) as: 💫 Take the bra off. 💫 Take a nap. 💫 Have a bath. 💫 Go for a walk. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that our inner wisdom often speaks softly… but when we listen, life opens up in magical ways.
