Hey, Hey, Hey family!!

This milestone episode is a celebration of saying yes — to purpose, to progress, and to personal transformation.

In Year of Yes: Your FFF Power Up, I’m reflecting on the journey that started with a single commitment: showing up for myself. Joined by my sister-friend and trainer, Katrina, we celebrate one year of consistent workouts, deeper faith, and an unshakable friendship — the powerful trio I like to call FFF: Fitness, Friendship, and Faith.

Together, we talk about what it means to embrace change with grace, the lessons that come from saying yes even when it’s hard, and how staying consistent can transform your body, your mindset, and your spirit.

This isn’t just our story — it’s an invitation for you to power up your own Year of Yes.

✨ Because sometimes, one yes can shift everything.

Hey, hey, hey family!! In every new season, there’s something we have to release in order to receive. In this episode of Emphatically You, I’m sharing my own journey of letting go—stepping out of my comfort zone, releasing old identities, and making room for growth in this new chapter of life.

Join me as we talk about the struggle, the freedom, and the transformation that comes when we loosen our grip on what no longer serves us. Sis, it’s not easy—but it’s worth it.

Come in, pull up a chair, take your shoes off, and let’s explore The Power of Letting Go.

After 28 years with Atlanta Public Schools, I’ve officially retired! 🎉 This week on Emphatically You, I’m reflecting on closing one chapter and stepping boldly into another.

I also have a special guest who stopped in to share a few tidbits as well. Let's get into it.

In this short and sweet catch-up episode, I'm filling you in on where I've been, what I've been up to, and how I'm leaning into the season with intention. I'm talking about real wins (bye-bye metformin and metoprolol), fresh goals, and what it looks like to find balance in the middle of the summertime swirl.

So grab your iced tea (or whatever makes you smile), find a cozy spot, and let's catch up.

Almost six months ago, I started on a journey to better health and a better me—mind, body, and soul. I am feeling good ya'll.

In this new episode of Emphatically You with Candace, I’m sharing why keeping your promises to yourself is sacred and how celebrating your progress as you go can be the most powerful thing you do. I made promises to get off some of my medications, eat better, and lower my A1C. I Promised Myself... and this is what it looks like.

Tune in. Tap in. And tag a sister who needs this reminder.
