Let’s talk about fitness! The New Year can be a great time to set new goals when it comes to your health and wellness, but it’s important to be aware of gimmicks, fads, and promises of quick success. The most important thing you can do for your physical health is to start a healthy, safe, and sustainable workout routine that works for YOU.  Maybe you’re wondering …. Where do I start?  How do I develop a sustainable fitness routine?  How do I get back into a routine after falling off track...

Season 5 is kicking off with a bonus episode from our Season 1 co-host, Tara-Leigh Cobble! In this conversation, you will hear a rapid-fire Q&A between Candace and Tara-Leigh about favorite seasons, languages they wish to learn, and everything in between. It’s like sitting down with your friend and asking them questions you are curious about most when it comes to their likes and desires.  And if you have never watched or listened to Season 1 with Tara-Leigh you can binge the entire season...

Season FIVE! Can you believe it?!  To start the New Year strong, we are focusing on Reset: Body, Mind, and Soul. Alongside some of her closest friends, Candace is diving into conversations centered around healthy living. Don’t let the word health scare you – we all have different bodies, minds, hearts, and families, and the focus is on every area of our life, not just the physical.  Next Tuesday, January 9 join us as we kick off season five with a bonus episode from Season 1 co-host Tara...

Merry Christmas from Candace and everyone at CandyRock Entertainment!

Do you struggle with giving back while balancing monthly expenses?  Have you ever grabbed a yummy cupcake from a pink ATM machine? Or maybe you’ve binged Cupcake Wars or Sugar Rush on Netflix and know about a cupcake-loving host? That’s Candace Nelson!  In today’s conversation, Candace sits down with Candace Nelson to talk about being a serial entrepreneur – the good, the bad, the ugly, the failures, and the lessons learned. They also discuss the importance of mentorship and baking generosity...

We are wrapping up season 4 with one final conversation between Candace + Bianca – and it’s all about why our decisions matter, how trials, tribulations, and trauma are *sometimes* gifts, and whether or not there is a time we should (or need to) quit.  Have you ever been in a season where you know without a doubt that you need to quit? Need to walk away? Need to let go? Those moments will come. While the encouragement this season has been to keep going, not give up, and grow your grit … there...

Do you recognize the voice and the presence of Jesus in your life? Do you connect with Him in the mundane moments of your day?  Candace is joined by Aarti Sequiera in today’s conversation to talk about her journey from being born in India, raised in Dubai, and moving to the USA. But more so, she shares her beautiful testimony of coming into a relationship with Jesus.  “You can tell someone’s faith by what they ate.” At least in India + Dubai! Being raised around different religions, Aarti’s...

Before your time on earth comes to an end, where is one place you want to go?  We all have places we want to visit and see. But have you thought about your legacy? Because the truth is, we will leave a legacy, and it’s up to us what impact it has on those around us.  Legacy is typically equated with wealth – but it is SO much more than that. It is about what we are giving to the next generation. Your legacy will impact those you know and those you don't.  In light of the topic this season...

SURPRISE! We have a bonus episode with Season 3’s co-host, Katy Nichole? It is all about her upcoming single, “One Of The Found.”  We all want to feel seen and be known by God, right? We desire to find hope, be loved, and be one of the found. Katy wrote this song to those who may not know Jesus, or know they are seen and loved by Him.  But if you know Jesus, we hope this song is a reminder that your God loves you, knows you, and sees you.  Tune in to hear this conversation + a ukulele version...

How does giving back make you feel? Does it make you feel alive? Listen in as Candace sits down with Mitch Albom to talk about how giving brings him life.  Mitch is the author of #1 Best-Seller “Tuesdays With Morrie” which has sold tens of millions of copies throughout the world. Through this conversation, you will hear story after story of how giving back ultimately gives life to those receiving AND those giving.  While Mitch is an incredible storyteller, he is passionate about giving back....

Do you have a declaration of truth you speak over your life? Now that we have talked about the power of the mind and how what we say impacts our mindset, it’s time to take it a step further. Today we are focusing on declaring TRUTH over our lives.  “I believe” statements hold such power – but have you ever wondered what the difference between positive thinking and God-given optimism is? Listen in as Candace and Bianca break down the difference and share their personal declarations.  If you...

It’s that time of year again! We have a few special Christmas episodes for you to tune into during this holiday season, and we are kicking off with Danny Gokey.  Danny is a known artist, carrying multiple awards for his incredible music and voice and will be headlining the KLOVE Celebrate Christmas Tour this year! But more so, Danny is passionate about speaking truth into the world and giving back to others.  Listen in as Candace + Danny talk about giving back, what it means to have a heart...

It’s not enjoyable to be patient, but it is valuable to wait well. What do you do while you wait?  We are continuing the conversation on Malta (if you’re confused, go back and listen to Episode 09 first!). Candace and Bianca are diving into waiting seasons and hope to offer practical steps you can take in the seasons of waiting you experience in life. There are 4 things you can do that have been proven scientifically and biblically to support your mind, body, and soul while you are in the...

Life happens – it’s a roller coaster, and you will get to a point where you are tired and don’t want to keep fighting. Whether it is because of a painful situation, a season of waiting, or when the going gets really tough. That is when the “big D’s of life can set it – Depression. Despair. Disillusionment. Disappointment. What do we do when that happens? Seek purpose from your pain. As we look at the life of Paul, we see a story in Acts that shows us how to live within our pain. God has...

Who is your hero? When you look at them do you feel like you cannot measure up? It’s not bad to have heroes you look up to! But when it comes to comparing yourself to them, are you careful? Comparison will rob you of your joy in life and will leave you wanting more. The comparison trap is a real place. But you don’t have to live there. You CAN get out of it – through learning to trust God with your life, celebrating your life AND the lives of others, and believing that there is a enough for...

Did you know you can build neural pathways in your brain?! It’s true!! Your mind is a powerful resource that is constantly learning new things and changing patterns. By speaking God’s word into your life, you CAN change your mindset + form new pathways with the truth of His word. Add in gratitude, and you can rewire your brain entirely. Listen in to hear more about the power of mindset and how negative thoughts are like velcro and positive thoughts are like teflon. It will all make sense,...

Growth doesn’t just happen, it has to be practiced. How do you practice growing? You go through hard stuff. When the going gets tough and you feel like giving up, use it as an opportunity to grow your grit. We all want to be overcomers, but we don’t want to go through the work to actually overcome. We love the idea of being a conqueror but don’t want to go to battle. Can you relate? Think about your favorite person in the Bible - you want to be like them, but can you walk through hard...

Sometimes communication doesn’t always click. Have you ever had a moment where what you are saying and how you are being understood just doesn’t go the right way? We’ve all been there - communication is a practice we continue to get better at day by day. The same goes for communicating with God. It is something we grow in every time we talk to Him AND when we listen as for His voice. How do you hear from God? How He speaks to you may not be the same as how He speaks to someone else. There...

You make decisions every day. But do you recognize the impact your decisions can have on your future? On those around you? And even for the generations to come? When the going gets tough, you have a choice to make – either you stay stuck or step forward with resilience. What will you do? You have heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Listen in as Candace and Bianca take it a step further: When life gives you lemons, plant the seeds so the generations to come can...

Do hard things. “But I don’t want to!” Can you relate to that tension?! We live in a culture that loves instant. With a tap, touch, or swipe we can get anything in a moment. But showing up, being consistent, and enduring through tough moments holds great power and builds resilience + perseverance. If you struggle with showing up for your every day life – wherever that may be – this conversation is for you. Because the fact that you showed up today is resilient. It means you can do tough...

Have you ever wanted to quit? Are you currently walking through a season where you just want to give up? You’re not alone. Feeling like you want to quit is normal, but you CAN push through and persevere. And as you persevere through difficult seasons, find your why – it will root and ground you when everything else feels like it is falling apart. “But God promised me ____.” It’s a common statement we might have made at some point – especially when we want something but aren’t seeing it come...

Do you see falling as failing? It’s ok. We all have seen it that way at some point as we ride the roller coaster of the highs and lows in life. But what if falling wasn’t failing? What if falling led to getting back up and winning?  We live in a culture that wants to cancel people for their failures. And while no one wants to walk through trauma, trial, and tribulation when we fall, we must get back up and finish the course God has set before us. Remove the excuse to quit and keep...

Guess what?! Season 4 is *almost* HERE! And we are excited to share this season’s theme and co-host with you. Drum roll … this season Candace is sitting down with Bianca Juarez Olthoff (cue the virtual dance party). If you don’t know Bianca, buckle up because she is a lot of fun and has a lot of wisdom to share. Bianca is President of In The Name Of Love Ministry, host of the We're Going There Podcast, and author of Playing With Fire and How To Have Your Life Not Suck. All season long,...

There is no better way to wrap up Season 3 (which is all about music and its impact) than to talk about Christmas music! Did you expect anything else from Candace? Listen in as Katy talks about writing her Christmas song, “Oh What A King.” It is from the perspective of Mary and the way she adores, worships, and honors Jesus. Have you ever read Mary’s song in the Bible? It is beautiful! Don’t forget to grab Candace + Katy’s Summer Playlist so you can continue to listen to the songs they...
