In this episode of Empowered With Gina, Gina sits down with Candice Horry—a mom, executive, and wife of NBA champion Robert Horry—whose story began with open-heart surgery at just two years old. Doctors warned she’d never play sports or have children; Candice became a multi-sport athlete, won the Girls Softball World Series at 12, and later welcomed two grounded kids. She shares how sports built her confidence, how she broke into television on Home Improvement, and why she pivoted to a lifestyle that prioritized family without abandoning ambition. Candice opens up about early marriage, respectful co-parenting after divorce, and navigating a public life with grace. Her message for women without a built-in cheer squad is direct: trust yourself, borrow belief from strong women until your own grows, and stop asking for permission you don’t need. This conversation is a masterclass in quiet discipline, community, and choosing the path that actually serves your life—not the one other people script for you.
