After returning from the Vancouver International Publishing Conference, Candace finds herself riding the beautiful wave that follows a truly inspiring experience. But alongside the excitement comes something equally important: rest. In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, she shares why giving ourselves space to recharge, reflect, and integrate life's magical moments can be just as valuable as the moments themselves.
A recent walk sparked a conversation about favorite books and the stories that stay with us long after we've turned the final page. Candace reflects on how books are a lot like people. Often, we can't recall every detail of what was said or exactly what happened, but we never forget how they made us feel.
From stories that transport us into unfamiliar worlds to characters who help us see life through a different lens, books have a unique ability to expand our hearts and perspectives. Candace shares her love of reading, the books that have lingered with her over the years, and why some stories become lifelong companions.
Whether you're recovering from an exciting season, looking for your next great read, or simply craving a little inspiration, this episode is a gentle reminder to slow down, soak it all in, and grab a good book.

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a beautiful conversation with her friend Magda about creating a life and home that feels intentional, soulful, and truly your own.
Magda has been lovingly beautifying her forest home â bespokeing every detail, handcrafting spaces with care, personality, and warmth. From the outside, everything looked peaceful and stunning. But then she discovered a martin had made its way deep inside the walls and created a nest hidden within the home.
At first, she tried to handle it herself. But eventually, she realized she needed to call in an expert â someone with wisdom, experience, and the ability to help with what was happening beneath the surface.
Candace reflects on how deeply this mirrors our own lives.
We can style our hair, nourish our skin, decorate our homes, curate our wardrobes, buy beautiful things, and work hard to create lives that look peaceful from the outside. But sometimes, inside us, there are still hidden places carrying old pain, fear, grief, stress, or unresolved emotions quietly nesting in the background.
This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about perfection. Even the cleanest, most beautiful homes become messy simply from being lived in. The same is true for us. Life happens. Emotions build up. Experiences leave marks.
The goal is not to become flawless â itâs to become aware.
Candace talks about the importance of checking in with ourselves, tending to the hidden rooms within, and allowing ourselves support when needed. Sometimes our own rituals, practices, and self-awareness help us move through things. And sometimes healing asks us to reach out to someone with deeper expertise to guide us through the murky places we cannot navigate alone.
This episode is about inner peace, emotional honesty, self-awareness, and creating a life that feels beautiful not just on the outside, but deep within the walls of who we are.

This episode was inspired by a teenage boy Candace keeps seeing on her drive to work â running full speed down the street trying to catch the bus before it turns the corner. Every time she sees him, she wonders the same thing: what if he simply left the house one or two minutes earlier?
That tiny adjustment could completely change the energy of his morning. No panic. No sprinting. No racing against time. Just calm, steady movement.
And that thought sparked something deeper.
How often do we do this in our own lives? Repeating the same stressful patterns while hoping things somehow feel different? Sometimes we think massive change is required, when really it might just be a tiny shift in timing, mindset, habits, boundaries, or perspective.
In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace talks about the power of small adjustments and how little intentional changes can create completely different outcomes. Itâs an invitation to audit your life with curiosity instead of judgment and ask yourself:
What tiny shift could change everything for me?
Because sometimes the difference between chaos and peace⌠is only two minutes.

What if not knowing was actually part of the magic?
In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares her experience of entering the unfamiliar world of ball hockey after signing up her son. Instead of feeling embarrassed about not knowing the ârulesâ of the arenas, routines, or small-town stops along the way, she discovered something surprising: being new at something can wake us back up to life.
From asking concession workers simple questions to wandering through unfamiliar towns looking for hidden gems, Candace reflects on how easy it is to move through life on autopilot once we become comfortable. But when we intentionally place ourselves in situations where we donât know everything, we become more curious, more present, and more connected to the moment.
This episode is a gentle reminder that growth doesnât always come from mastery. Sometimes it comes from awkwardness, curiosity, and being willing to look uninformed while learning something new.
Because maybe thereâs joy in not already knowing the answers.
Maybe thereâs freedom in becoming the newbie again.
And maybe life feels sweeter when we allow ourselves to be happily uninformed.

In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Candace Dunaway dives into the powerful concept of becoming âbespoke.â Inspired by rediscovering the meaning of the word, she reflects on how often people shape themselves to fit expectations, trends, or the comfort of blending inâliving lives that are more âoff the rackâ than soul-aligned.
Candace gently challenges this pattern, reminding listeners that they were never meant to be mass-produced. Through personal insight and soulful reflection, she explores what it looks like to intentionally craft a life that is uniquely your ownâone that honors your individuality, your pace, and your truth.
This episode is an invitation to slow down and engage in the meaningful, sometimes uncomfortable work of becoming who you were always meant to be. Because just like something truly bespoke, your life is meant to be thoughtfully created, deeply personal, and entirely one of a kind.

In this reflective and soul-soothing episode, Candace explores the powerful metaphor of âtreading waterâ and how it applies to our everyday lives. Inspired by a story of an endurance swimmer who paused to tread water during a 48-hour swim, she shares how these moments of stillness arenât signs of weaknessâbut of wisdom.
Candace invites listeners to reconsider the constant pressure to move forward, achieve, and push through. Instead, she offers a gentle reminder that pausing, resting, and simply staying afloat can be just as meaningful and necessary. Through personal reflection and grounded insight, she reframes âtreading waterâ as an intentional, life-sustaining practiceâone that allows us to breathe, reset, and trust where we are.
This episode is a permission slip to slow down, to be present, and to honor the seasons where you're not sprinting toward somethingâbut simply sustaining yourself with grace.

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores what it truly means to show up as yourselfâfully, honestly, and unapologetically.
Inspired by a TV show where each family member expressed themselves freely (even when it created tension), this episode reflects on the contrast so many of us feel in our own lives. The pressure to keep things smooth. The habit of walking on eggshells. The quiet tendency to shrink, soften, or stay silent just to avoid conflict.
But what if being real doesnât have to break relationships?
What if things can feel messy⌠and still be safe?
What if disagreement isnât rejection?This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that:
You donât have to be perfect to belong You donât have to stay quiet to be loved And you are allowed to take up spaceâeven if it ruffles a few feathersBecause real relationships arenât built on perfection⌠theyâre built on truth.

This episode is a reminder I needed for myself.
After listening to a conversation featuring Ivanka Trump on The Diary of a CEO, something really stayed with meâthe idea that if you donât know who you are, the world will tell you⌠and over time, you might start to believe it.
And it made me pause.
Because even with space, time, and all the tools I know support meâlike journaling, slowing down, and getting quietâIâve noticed how easy it is to avoid truly sitting with myself.
To stay busy.
To stay distracted.
To stay just a little disconnected.In this episode, I reflect on how, without realizing it, we can start to become shaped by everything outside of usâother peopleâs opinions, expectations, and ideas of who we should be.
Like a sculpture formed by many hands.
But at some point, we have to pause and askâŚ
Do I even recognize this version of me?This is a gentle, honest invitation to come back to yourself. To reconnect, to listen, and to remember that you are the one who gets to create who you are.
Because the truth isâ
the sculpture is yours to create.đ If youâre feeling the vibes⌠Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space!

There are moments in life that feel like little winks from the universe⌠quiet confirmations that youâre on the right path, even when you didnât realize you needed reassurance.
This episode was born from one of those moments.
I brought a story Iâve been writingâsomething thatâs lived in my heart for yearsâinto my classroom. It wasnât polished. It wasnât illustrated. It wasnât even finished. Just simple words printed on plain white paper.
Before I began, I told the class there were no pictures, so they would have to imagine everything in their minds.
And they did.
They leaned in, they listened, and when I asked what they thought the message was, their answers were so pure and so beautifulââto have a colorful heartâ⌠âto be grateful.â
They felt it. They understood it. Even without the ending.
And then life carried on. Recess came, the story paused, and I honestly thought that moment would just drift away like so many small classroom memories do.
But days later, a little hand went up.
âWhat happened to that story?â
A boy remembered. He was still thinking about it. He wanted to know how it ended.
And in that moment, something shifted.
Because thatâs when I shared the truthâthat the story wasnât finished yet⌠and that I was the author.
The students response?
âYouâre going to make millions. Itâs amazing. We want to buy it.â
And while that made me smile (and hey⌠Iâll take the millions too đ), that wasnât the part that stayed with me.
What stayed with me was this:
They loved the story before they knew it was mine.
There was no bias. No expectation. No attachment to me as the creator.
Just pure, honest connection.And isnât that what itâs really about?
Not the numbers.
Not the recognition.
Not even the outcome.But the feeling your creation leaves behind in someone else.
The way it lingers in their mind days later.
The way it opens something in their heart.That moment reminded me that the things weâre called to createâthe stories, the ideas, the little pieces of our soulâtheyâre not meant to stay tucked away.
Theyâre meant to be shared.
Even if itâs messy.
Even if itâs unfinished.
Even if it only reaches one person.Because you never know whoâs listeningâŚ
whoâs rememberingâŚ
or whoâs quietly waiting to hear how your story ends.đ If youâre feeling the vibes⌠Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space!

While looking around her home at the plants sheâs lovingly placed in carefully chosen pots, Candace has a realizationâshe doesnât actually want them to grow.
Because growth means change. It means needing a bigger container and more space.
In this episode, she reflects on how this mirrors our own lives. So often, we place ourselves in comfortable containersâidentities, routines, or environments that once fitâbut as we grow, those same spaces can begin to feel restrictive.
Our roots want to go deeper. Our branches want to expand. But if we donât give ourselves the space, we can unintentionally hold ourselves back from thriving.
This episode is a gentle invitation to notice where you may have outgrown your own âpotâ⌠and to give yourself permission to expand into something bigger.

Rejection can feel heavy, triggering, and deeply personalâbut what if itâs actually guiding us somewhere meaningful?
In this episode, Candace shares a recent experience of feeling rejected and the awareness that followed. Where she once would have felt emotionally overwhelmed and dysregulated, she instead noticed something new: space, steadiness, and the ability to observe without spiraling.
This shift became a powerful reminder that the inner work sheâs been doing is working.
Candace explores the idea that rejection isnât just about whatâs happening externallyâitâs often a reflection of where we may still be rejecting parts of ourselves. And when those moments arise, they offer us an opportunity to lean in with compassion, curiosity, and deeper self-love.
Whether rejection feels intense or surprisingly neutral, it can always be a doorway back to yourself.

In this lighthearted yet meaningful episode, Candace explores the idea of âpassing the remoteâ as a metaphor for life.
After noticing how different each family memberâs viewing habits are, she reflects on how easy it is to stay in our own comfort zonesâwatching the same types of shows, consuming the same kinds of stories, and living within our own familiar perspectives.
But when we pass the remoteâwhether literally or figurativelyâwe open ourselves up to something new.
From unexpected favorites like Mayor of Kingstown to family laughs with Young Sheldon and The Middle, Candace shares how letting others take the lead can bring connection, laughter, and surprising joy.
This episode is a gentle reminder that growth doesnât always come from seeking moreâit often comes from simply being open to different.

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace reflects on a conversation she heard while listening to Hilary Duff on Jay Shettyâs podcast. Hilary spoke openly about how life can feel incredibly good in some areas while being very difficult in othersâand how those realities can exist at the same time.
That insight immediately resonated with Candace and reminded her of a past conversation with Saul Blinkoff, who once described life using the metaphor of a diamond. A diamond has many facets, each reflecting light differently. Some sides sparkle brilliantly, while others may appear quieter or less polished.
Just like that diamond, our lives are made up of many roles and experiences. We may be thriving in certain areasâour work, friendships, creativityâwhile other parts of life may feel challenging, uncertain, or in need of care.
Candace shares how comforting it can be to remember that everything doesnât have to shine perfectly all at once. Different facets of our lives can hold different experiences simultaneously, and that doesnât diminish the beauty of the whole.
This episode is a gentle reminder that your diamond is multi-faceted. Some sides may sparkle brightly today, while others may simply be waiting for their moment in the light.
And thatâs perfectly okay.

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace reflects on a nostalgic reel her friend Miranda sent her that read: âBorn in the 80s, raised in the 90s, partied in the 2000s⌠no camera phones, no regrets, no proof.â
While the message might spark a laugh or a sense of freedom from a time before everything was documented, it also raises a deeper truth. Even if there were no cameras capturing those moments, the experiences themselves didnât disappear. The memories, emotions, and impressions often live on within our bodies and subconscious.
Candace shares how many of us carry unseen stories, feelings, and patterns that quietly become our baseline. Over time, we may not even realize how much weight weâre holding because it simply becomes normal.
This episode is a gentle invitation to become curious about what might be stored within you. By mining your inner world with compassion and awareness, you may discover opportunities to process old experiences, release heaviness, and create more lightness in your life.
Even without proof, your body remembers. And sometimes the most healing thing we can do is lovingly explore whatâs been living within us all along.

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a simple but meaningful story about her friend Magda and a surprising discovery she made while transporting bricks in her tiny car.
What started as a practical task quickly turned into a moment of joyful realizationâMagda discovered that her little car had far more space and capability than she ever imagined. By simply folding the seats down and trying something new, she unlocked possibilities she hadnât even considered before.
Candace reflects on how this small moment mirrors a much bigger truth in life: we donât always need to know everything in advance. Sometimes the magic is in the discovery itself. When we stay curious, open, and willing to try, life reveals little delights along the way.

Sometimes we imagine that happiness will arrive when everything finally looks perfectâwhen weâre in the right place, the weather is beautiful, and life unfolds exactly as planned. But the truth is, even in paradise, not every day is going to be sunny.
In this heartfelt episode, Candace reflects on a text conversation with her dad while her parents were spending time in Hawaii. Despite being somewhere most people dream about, the weather had been anything but idealârainstorms, flooding, and long stretches without sunshine.
That moment sparked a deeper realization: life can place us somewhere beautiful, yet still bring storms.
Candace explores the idea that joy isnât something reserved only for the perfect days. The real practice is learning to find small pockets of lightâeven when things arenât going as expected. Whether you're in paradise, in the middle of a difficult season, or simply having an off day, there is always the possibility of discovering something meaningful within the moment.
Because sometimes the most powerful shift isnât waiting for the sun to come outâitâs learning how to dance in the rain.

When Andy Grammer put out a call asking fans to nominate someone who has made an impact in their life â someone deserving of a personalized song â Candace did something unexpected.
She nominated herself.
In this episode, Candace reflects on what it means to thank yourself. To forgive yourself. To let go of perfection. To move beyond surface-level self-love and into something steadier, truer, and more rooted.
Because sometimes itâs easier to see the magic in everyone else.
But the real work is learning to see it in yourself.Whether Andy writes the song or not, Candace shares why sheâs choosing to write one for herself â and why you might want to do the same.

After spotting a mug on a friends Instagram story that read âJust Keep Swimming â XO Dory,â Candace found herself reflecting on how that simple line holds deeper meaning than we often realize. In seasons where clarity feels far away and everything feels heavy, overwhelming, or uncertain, maybe weâre not meant to have all the answers. Maybe weâre just meant to keep going.
In this episode, Candace explores the quiet resilience required in wintery seasons of life â the times when motivation dips, energy feels low, and the path forward isnât fully clear.
If youâre in a season where things feel hard, unclear, or slow, this episode is your gentle reminder: you donât need to figure it all out today. You just need to keep swimming.

Weâre still in winter â even if part of us is itching to rush ahead.
In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake, Candace explores the quiet, in-between season where spring hasnât arrived yet, but the urge to speed up is strong. Instead of pushing forward, she reflects on what it looks like to resist the rush and choose stillness â even when it feels uncomfortable.
Through small, intentional practices like turning off her phone, sitting in silence during drives, and creating space without distraction, Candace shares how stillness has become an unexpected doorway. A doorway into emotions long suppressed â rage, sadness, guilt, shame â and into the courage it takes to feel them, listen to them, and let them move through the body without carrying them forward.
This episode is an invitation to honor the hibernation season, to trust that not everything needs to bloom right now, and to remember that when we allow ourselves to feel and release whatâs been held for years, spring arrives more vibrant, more honest, and more alive.

Sometimes we hear someone speak with certainty â passionate, confident, convinced theyâve found the way. And often, their way does work beautifully⌠for them.
In this episode, Candace shares a moment from a meeting that opened a quiet but powerful reflection. One personâs success was framed as a universal solution, and yet Candace knew â from her own lived experience â that doing things differently had worked just as well.
This episode is a reminder that while mentors, teachers, and guides can offer wisdom, inspiration, and tools, they donât get to define your path. You donât have to reinvent the wheel â but you also donât have to follow one blueprint. Youâre allowed to gather what resonates, release what doesnât, and create a way that feels aligned with who you are.
Whether in teaching, business, creativity, or life itself, there are a million ways to do something well. This is an invitation to soften comparison, reclaim choice, and trust that your way â when it is rooted in your truth.
