Several years ago, I felt stuck in my career. It took a while but I finally realized…

It’s not that complicated. We are so much more powerful and worthy of happiness than we let ourselves experience.

AS SEEN ON

MEET CANDICE GRACIANO

Life Strategist and Grief Healer.

Candice is a woman who leads with her heart but isn’t afraid to face life’s biggest challenges head on. An avid ultra-marathon runner and long time Peloton user, Candice knows how to go the distance.

But like everyone else it took a life altering moment to reveal the inner power, freedom to choose, and confidence she knew she had.

In her own words:

“I felt extremely trapped by my job and my lack of courage to pursue something else. I felt like there was no way out. I felt like I was doomed to live the rest of my life this way.

I also suffered the loss of one of my closest friends and his wife.

The circumstances of that event left me sad, confused and even angry.

Both of these situations left me two options, to continue to stay stuck in the feelings that were making my heart heavy or do the things I needed to do to heal and become more empowered, for myself and others.”

Over almost a decade, Candice has dedicated her life to helping

high achieving individuals

Turn life altering moments
and unfulfilling circumstances
into empowering new
beginnings and a happier life.

“

I reached out to Candice for career coaching because I felt I had lost the ability to advocate for myself. I followed her guidance, completed the tasks and in the end the universe provided exactly what I needed. I have to say, even if the changes that I was looking for had not materialized, the process itself was life altering. I highly recommend Candice’s programs. The sound healing meditation was also instrumental in this growth experience. I plan on joining more sound healing in the future.

LET’S MEET FOR YOUR COMPLIMENTARY SESSION

“

I came to Candice seeking a permanent fix for my grief. I quickly understood that I will always grieve my mother, but through working with Candice I’ve learned how to walk beside that grief without letting it negatively consume my world. For the first time in many years, I am hopeful. And while Candice would say that’s a direct result of the work I’ve been doing on myself, in reality, it’s all because of her.

Let’s be honest…setting boundaries can be HARD

Let’s be honest…setting boundaries can be HARD.

Not only is it difficult to determine WHAT your boundaries are, but it can be even more uncomfortable to assert them to other people - even those close to us.

However, boundary setting is one of THE best things you can do for your mental health, because it allows you to decide what you are and are not comfortable with beforehand instead of dealing with discomfort and confusion afterward a situation has already taken place.

Common examples of boundary setting are only answering work calls or emails during work hours, answering your txt messages only when it is convenient for you, or unfollowing accounts on social media that stress you out rather than light you up. (Lots of tech ones here, but you get the idea!)

Boundary setting can go even further, though - and you are allowed to set boundaries for whatever and whoever you want!

Here are some important things to remember:
✨People can’t respect your boundaries unless they know about them. Communicate!
✨If someone disrespects your boundary, you can decide to address it with the person, or limit your interaction with them moving forward.
✨A great way to be clear on what your own boundaries are and how you can implement them is to write them down!

❌I can’t leave my secure job to pursue somethi

❌I can’t leave my secure job to pursue something that lights me up.
❌I can’t handle the judgement that will come with making radical changes to my life.
❌I can’t make the switch from feeling like I’m operating at 30% to feeling like I’m operating at 99.9%.
❌I can’t, I can’t, I can’t…

Several Years ago, these thoughts completely consumed me. I felt extremely trapped by my job and my lack of courage to pursue something else. I felt like there was no way out. I wondered if I was doomed to live the rest of my life this way.

Spoiler alert: I wasn’t.

I was able to address the causes of these feelings at the root and transform my life, my career, and my sense of self.

And now, I’m helping others do it, too.

Ever feel like you're holding back parts of yourse

Ever feel like you're holding back parts of yourself?

Something I see time and time again with my clients, friends, family, and even myself is the act of hiding certain aspects of who we are to fit into the mold and be accepted.

Even if we aren’t expressly told, “Oh, you have to do X, Y, and Z; otherwise, we won’t like you.” No.

What keeps us playing it safe is much more subtle and often deep-rooted than that.

It’s the tiny little clues, random remarks from strangers, things we saw on TV growing up, a 1-off comment a loved one made a decade ago… These things all add up to create the thought, “it’s not safe to fully show who I am.”

And thoughts like this, which have been a part of us for 10, 20, 40 years, can be tough to break! But it is possible.

It takes a lot of inner work to learn (and accept) that it is safe to show who you are, all your quirky corners, randomness, emotions, wild goals, EVERYTHING.

Because those who truly love who you are will only cheer that on. But it starts with feeling safe and excited to hold space for who you are and tap into the parts of you that have been hiding in the shadows.

Embrace all that is you, and start living life to the fullest! This transformation is waiting for you in my signature program, Elevate to Generate ✨DM me if you want to chat details! ✨

Reminder: Never stop advocating for yourself. Whe

Reminder: Never stop advocating for yourself.

Whether you’re advocating for respect, a pay raise, to be heard, or taken seriously, ultimately, it’s up to you to advocate for yourself, but it’s a lot easier when others have your back.

I know, it’s not always an easy road. I’ve had to constantly advocate for myself and the Celiac Disease community over the last almost 13 years, time and time again.

From restaurants, to Drs, to the absolutely ridiculous lies being spread on social media (no, the gluten in Europe is NOT safe to eat if you have Celiac Disease)

It can get mentally exhausting to have to constantly be “on” and fighting to be heard and taken seriously.

Luckily, I have a solid group of friends and family around me who truly understand and are sympathetic to my situation.

They never complain about having to eat at the same safe restaurants again and again, and go the extra mile when I come to visit, stocking their kitchens with Celiac-safe treats. I am forever grateful for these people (you know who you are!) 💜

Who in your life has your back?

TAG them in the comments to let them know how much you appreciate their support! ✨

The holiday season hits differently when you’re

The holiday season hits differently when you’re grieving.

The holidays are “supposed” to be a time of happiness, parties, joy, and togetherness.

But when you’re living with grief, happiness isn’t always present.

When you’re living with grief, joy may not exist in your vocabulary.

When you’re living with grief, your person may not be here with you.

It can be rough. And when you’re surrounded by the smiling and festive attitude of (seemingly) everyone else, it can make you feel all that more alone.

But you’re not.

For one, I’m here. Also, I’m willing to bet there are people in your life who love you, who care about you and who want to support you.

Something I help my grieving clients with is establishing new practices and traditions around the holiday season.

Traditions that acknowledge and honor the love that you have lost. Just because they are gone doesn’t mean they have to be gone from your life; their essence and memory can still carry on with you.

This holiday season may not look the same as last year, but you have the power to curate your experience. You deserve to feel happiness alongside your grief.

If you want help to manage your grief throughout this holiday season and beyond, send me a DM to chat further. 🖤

Would you trade 28 days of possibly feeling silly

Would you trade 28 days of possibly feeling silly to achieve your goals?

For me, it’s a no-brainer. Yeah, hands down, I would.

And in case you’re not sure what I’m suggesting here, I’m talking about affirmations.

Now, skeptic, before you roll your eyes, hear me out.

Saying a few nice words about yourself in the mirror now and then isn’t going to magically transform your life.

Because affirmations aren’t magic, they’re a legit science.

The practice of using affirmations for a sustained period of 28 days is actually all about rewiring your brain and breaking the habitual thought patterns that keep you stuck in your current situation.

It doesn’t matter if you journal it out, write it out your mirror, or speak it out loud. But please, stick to it for at least 28 days.

The longer you keep it up, the deeper the impact will become and ripple throughout your life.

So yeah, you may feel a bit silly talking to yourself for the first 28 days, but honestly, the shift you will feel is worth it!

Do you struggle with affirmations? Let me know what’s halting you in the comments ⬇️

You don’t have to ditch your therapist to work with a coach.

I talk to a lot of people (both clients and non-clients) who are on a healing journey. And some people ask me,

“Is it okay to have a life and grief coach if I’m
already seeing a therapist?”

My answer is usually YES!

I have clients that see me, a therapist, a psychologist, and a counselor. Why?

Because they each offer a unique service and approach and target different aspects of your healing journey.

For example, one of the things my clients get from me is the extra accessibility between sessions. I’m not a ghost who disappears at the end of a Zoom call and reappears at the beginning of the next.

Additionally, I usually like to leave my clients with some sort of ‘homework’ between our sessions. This could be a task, mental activity, or a habitual practice (it’s all about what would help you most!)

Sorting out all of your "stuff" is intense, multifaceted, and sometimes complex. So, It’s reasonable that multiple modalities may assist in the process.

Curious about what it’s like to work with a professional certified Life & Grief coach?

5 Tips for taming your negative self-talk ⬇️

5 Tips for taming your negative self-talk ⬇️

🤍Practice Awareness🤍
Pay close attention to the thoughts in your head. Instead of letting one negative thought roll onto the next, try to catch yourself and disrupt the thought.

🤍Challenge & Reframe🤍
Get real with yourself and ask yourself, “Is this actually true?” Are your thoughts based on fact or filtered by the negative lens you’ve placed upon yourself? Determine fact from fiction.

🤍Get Self-Compassionate🤍
Is this the way you would think about and treat a friend or loved one? Likely not. Which means you should not treat yourself that way either. You deserve love, respect, and understanding from everyone—bottom line.

🤍Swap it out🤍
Take time to create a list of positive thoughts or affirmations that counteract your common negative thoughts. Save them on your phone to promptly mentally replace your negative thoughts. This helps rewire damaging patterns in your brain.

🤍Surround yourself with Positivity🤍
Ensure you’re spending your time in spaces with people that support the life you’re building and have a positive influence on you. This also means limiting or cutting out negative people and environments, both online and offline.

Why are Sound Journeys included in my signature co

Why are Sound Journeys included in my signature coaching program, Elevate to Generate?

The reason really comes down to one concept: Frequency.

Everything in our world operates on a particular frequency, even your body.

We trap so much pain, hurt, and upset in our bodies, often unknowingly.

A sound journey allows your body to breathe and your mind to S L O W down - causing a ripple effect throughout every cell in your body.

Altering your state of being.

Whether you need to feel a release, be grounded, or set free- we will unveil that in our sessions together!

But, I have included this in Elevate to Generate because getting you in tune with your desired frequency is how we pave the path towards healing, growth, and embracing your desired SELF!

Which is all baked into Elevate to Generate. 💫

You know what you want, and deep down, you know wh

You know what you want, and deep down, you know what you need.

The problem is you are not listening to yourself.

And what is worse, is when you do that, when you listen to everyone else, you are playing small...and that makes you feel frustrated and bored.

Trust your intuition. You really do know what is best for you. Trust that voice inside that is yearning and screaming for more.

It may sound easier said than done, but here is an exercise that can help:

Step 1: List the pros and cons of staying where you are now

Step 2: List the pros and cons of the thing you are avoiding

Step 3: Tune in to which one feels better (read list 1, read list 2, which one makes you feel lighter?)

There is more involved but this is how you begin. You tune everything out, so that you can tune in. But without the daily practices to support what makes you feel lighter, you may end up right back where you started. If you are interested in coaching around this DM me to chat!

Society needs to stop expecting your grief to fit

Society needs to stop expecting your grief to fit into their box.

If you are going through grief, it is common to desire support.

Some may seek out support, and some may retreat further into themselves. But usually, our support person/people is what helps us get through it.

I mean. After all, that’s what I do, right? I’m a Grief Coach. And I see dozens of grief coaches online and IRL every day.

But what I don’t see enough of is a DEEP understanding that we all require different methods of support in our grief.

You may require:

🖤A path built firmly on the 5 stages of grief
🖤Grief groups
🖤Extended periods of alone time or solace
🖤New activities and experiences centered around hope
🖤To be surrounded by friends or family
🖤To be allowed to cry for weeks on end
🖤A close 1:1 coaching experience to guide you through it
🖤Healing practices like reiki or sound healing

My point is we as humans are unique, and therefore, so is our grief.

That is why no singular message, tool, or program can suit everyone unanimously.

Grief is not “1-size fits all,” and Grief support should not be either.

Find the message that speaks to you.
Find the support.
Find the person.

Find your healing.

Because it’s out there. If this message speaks to you and you want to chat further about how I can best support you through your grief in your unique style, comment ‘GRIEF,’ and I’ll send you a DM. 🖤🤍

✨ Embrace the Power of Equanimity ✨ Equanimit

✨ Embrace the Power of Equanimity ✨

Equanimity is the art of finding balance and inner peace in the midst of life's chaos. It's the ability to remain steady and composed, even when facing challenging (not tragic) situations, without being swayed by extremes of joy or sorrow.

💡 How to Cultivate Equanimity:

1️⃣ Mindfulness: Start with mindfulness meditation. Observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, allowing them to come and go.

2️⃣ Perspective: Remember that both joy and sorrow are transient. These feelings ebb and flow.

3️⃣ Self-awareness: Identify your triggers and emotional patterns. Knowing them is the first step to managing them.

5️⃣ Pause and Breathe: When faced with challenging situations, take a deep breath before reacting. This pause can make all the difference.

6️⃣ Seek Support: A life coach or therapist can provide guidance and techniques for developing equanimity.

Remember, equanimity takes practice, patience, and self-compassion. As you develop this invaluable skill, you'll find that you're better equipped to handle life's twists and turns with a sense of balance and serenity.

Ready to embark on this journey? Share your experiences, questions, and tips below, and let's support each other in cultivating equanimity for a more balanced and fulfilling life!

I talk about setting intentions a lot, but I also understand that setting and living life based around those intentions is an easy thing to let slip.

You get swept up in the hustle and bustle of the world and your responsibilities:

-Caring for your loved ones
-Doing the must-dos at work
-And all that life admin nonsense that seems to take way too much time out of your day

Sometimes it helps to stop and truly look at your life. Try asking yourself these questions:

How “happy” have you been over the last few years?

How often do you feel proud?

How often do you feel completely lit up?

Do you regularly feel excited, or are you simply going through the motions?

I want you to know that more is available to you. You just have to take the steps to get there, and it all starts by acknowledging that you deserve more, that you’re capable of more, and simply, that more exists out there!

What do you want MORE of in your life?
