Healing is your responsibility
Healing is possible
The hosts emphasize that healing is a deeply personal journey, filled with twists, setbacks, and triumphs. It's not just about feeling good, but about understanding yourself on a deeper level and accepting both the pleasant and uncomfortable truths that surface.
What Healing Has Done for Us
Candice and Shelly reflect on how their healing journeys have transformed their lives. For Candice, healing brought her out of an unconscious way of living and made her an active participant in her own life. Shelly shares how healing has deepened her relationships with herself and others, making her more compassionate, patient, and less judgmental.
Healing Takes Responsibility
A key theme in the episode is personal responsibility in healing. The hosts stress that while you can seek support from others, the work ultimately rests on your shoulders. Healing is about showing up for yourself, even when it’s difficult, and continuing the journey through highs and lows.
Special Highlights:
Candice and Shelly discuss how physical symptoms can serve as signals from the body that deeper healing is needed. Shelly shares a story about how a limp helped her realize the importance of balancing her masculine and feminine energy.
They also explore how healing can enrich relationships, bringing new levels of compassion, understanding, and connection to friendships and romantic partnerships.
Takeaways:
Healing is not always a smooth journey; it’s a process that requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to face discomfort.
Personal responsibility is crucial—no one else can do the healing for you, though you can have support along the way.
Healing is not just about feeling good; it’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level and becoming an active participant in your own life.
Final Thoughts:
Healing is hard, but it’s worth it. Candice and Shelly encourage listeners to embrace their healing journeys, no matter how challenging they may seem.

Synchronicities as Modern Magic Candice shares a powerful personal story of how a seemingly random song led to an emotional connection with her late grandfather.

Shelly adds that synchronicities are a way for us to stay aligned with our higher selves and that paying attention to them helps us stay open to life's magic.
Everyday Magic Magic isn’t just in the extraordinary—it’s in the little things too. From shorter commutes to unexpected kindnesses, Candice and Shelly encourage listeners to see magic in the mundane. Acts of kindness, like paying for a stranger’s groceries, can create joy and wonder in the world. Being someone else’s magic is a beautiful way to contribute to the collective sense of wonder.

She explains that being open to spiritual communication allows us to experience the unseen magic that surrounds us.

Crystals and their healing properties

Astrology and the significance of the stars and the moon
Angel numbers and the power of repeating patterns like 11:11
Special Highlights:
