#110 Conversations with Candice Smiley

Prepare to be blown away with Candice’s bio! “20 years ago I
survived a sexual assault from my boyfriend. 13 years ago I decided
not to kill myself. 10 years ago I was left with 350 k worth of bad
debt. 8 years ago I went into consumer proposal to fix that. 6
years ago I welcomed my beautiful daughter into the world. 4 years
ago I left my marriage to fall in love with myself. 2 years ago I
allowed myself to heal and reconnect with my feminine; AND rebuilt
my life as I moved into my own tiny home and found my lifetime
love. This year, I started my podcast and welcomed my second baby
earthside." Candice is a self proclaimed master manifestor and
personal development junkie who loves to engage in interesting
conversations with other influencers and entrepreneurs. Her
favourite conversations are the ones that take courage to engage
in. (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast wherever you
stream your podcasts for more of that!) She spends her time living
- in a tiny home (250 sq ft), traveling with her daughter -
speaking - on her podcast and on stages, and sharing candidly with
other women how to find love after betrayal, to trust themselves,
to speak up for themselves and set powerful boundaries. After a
narcissistic and abusive romantic partner cheated on her with
multiple women and left her (and the country) with significant
unexpected bad debt and ruined credit, Candice was forced to
rebuild her life, her credit and her trust in herself. Over the
next few years Candice navigated the challenging world of
foreclosure court, filing for financial proposals and divorce.
During these times she adopted a minimalist lifestyle, leaned on
her personal network and practiced radical personal forgiveness,
acceptance and responsibility. The journey was not without its
impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety,
depression, shame and learning to let go. Now debt free,
financially stable and in a safe committed relationship, Candice
loves her minimalist lifestyle for the beauty and freedom it offers
her. She knows the power of a good thrift store shop and loves her
wardrobe! She has learned the power of saying no, listening to your
own heart and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in
relationships. She’s become a voice for listening to your own truth
and speaking it powerfully. She knows how to save money, make money
online and in creative ways to balance the books as a single mom
and yet live your biggest and best life. Candice can never resist
the urge to take off her boots to walk barefoot into a clear
mountain lake or stream. When she is not connecting or writing, she
can be found disappearing into the backcountry trails of Canada
with her life-love Mark and losing herself exploring waterfalls and
mountain trails. She is a quiet introvert who adores eating clean
foods and reading a great book. Curious to know more?
