by candy barone Sep 27, 2023

I hate to be the bearer of bad news … but, the culture of ‘nice’ is not having the effect you think. In fact, it’s likely that the impact it is having is actually the opposite of what we believe and keep telling ourselves. 

And, it’s killing us (literally and figuratively).

First, let me start by sharing the origin of the word ‘nice’. You

by candy barone Sep 26, 2023

It was a little over five years ago when a client, in one of my mastermind groups, introduced Human Design to me. I remember the conversation like it was yesterday, as I was just coming off a very powerful retreat weekend working with a spiritual teacher of mine up in Vancouver.

Looking Back Over 10 Years

by candy barone Jun 19, 2023

Ten years ago, I flipped the table I was sitting at and started out on a new adventure.

 

It was Friday, May 31, 2013.

  

I did it. I did THE thing.

  

I left my corporate career to start my own company, You Empowered Strong. After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, playing the game, and at times, selling my soul to someone else’ agenda...

My Journey with Mental Illness

by candy barone May 28, 2023

My mom admitted herself into the hospital when I was 15. She wanted to commit suicide. That was the first of two times. 

I found this out only by cleaning her room one day, as I came across her journal. Now, I am not normally one to snoop. In fact, I am a rather private person, myself … yet, something compelled me to lift the spiral notebo

Book Review: "Fast Like a Girl" by Dr. Mindy Pelz

by candy barone Apr 12, 2023

This past year has found me doing a LOT of research on the subject of menopause, the mighty “m” word, as this journey I have found myself on has truly kicked my ass.

 

Perhaps, you can relate?

 

That being said I found myself, a couple of years ago, listening to an episode on LeAnn Rimes’ podcast, Wholly Human (which is amazing, by the way … an...
