Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast! Today's minisode is sparked by a beautiful conversation with Candace's soul sister Magda (of Therrapy podcast). What begins as a chat about dandelions—yes, the sunny little “weeds”—blossoms into a deeper reflection on boundaries.✨ Topics touched on in this minisode:• Why the dandelion is more than just a weed• When beauty becomes invasive—and how to set loving boundaries•Nature's reminder to lovingly tend to your inner garden—pulling the "weeds" that disrupt your peace.•   

In this soulful conversation, I'm joined by Aubri Gibb—host of Manifest Like A Mom—whose path through the emotional landscape of early motherhood led her to a profound spiritual awakening.What began with postpartum anxiety and the heavy cloak of mom guilt eventually cracked open into something beautiful: a meditation that shifted everything, a deep reconnection with her intuition, and a calling to live—and parent—in full alignment.In this episode, Aubri shares:Postpartum anxiety and the identity crisis that followedThe sacred unraveling of old belief systemsWhat it means to become a conscious creator in motherhoodThe identity crisis that often comes with new motherhoodHer discovery of Human Design and how it helps moms and children live more authenticallyIf you've ever wondered who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and chaos of motherhood—this episode is your invitation to tune back into your soul and remember: your light is still there.Meet Aubrianne Gibb, whose rough transition into motherhood sent her straight into her first spiritual awakening -- which ultimately helped her build an entirely new belief system and way of living as a conscious creator in her life. Her journey through postpartum anxiety, mom guilt, and grappling with questions like "who am I, now that I'm a mom?" and "what kind of mom do I want to be?" led her to discover the magic that was just waiting to be unlocked within her. Learn how you, too, can manifest your most magical life, regardless of what season of motherhood you might find yourself in by tuning into Aubri's weekly podcast, Manifest Like A Mom, where she shares stories, tools, and inspiration to help you create the most magical childhood for your kids AND yourself. Connect on Instagram @aubrianne__Manifest Like A Mom PodcastListen on Spotify

Welcome to "A Lake a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away," where I recount a remarkable week-long vacation exploring a different lake each day with great friends. Our days were filled with biking scenic trails, fishing in tranquil waters, paddling amongst the mountains and floating down rapids, while our kids reveled in outdoor adventures and evenings were spent bonding over s'mores by the fire. This trip was a reminder of the joy found in simplicity and the rejuvenating power of nature and leaving us refreshed in mind and spirit.  Candace Dunaway is the Host of the All Things Relatable podcast.

In this episode, Claudia Noriega-Bernstein takes on her journey growing up in Peru to landing in the United States. She shares the ups and downs along the way - from being a very successful soap opera star in Peru, to a single mom of 3 in a foreign country and everything else in between.  Claudia will have you rethinking how you walk through the hard stuff, not just surviving it, but creating magical memories and savouring the simple moments of joy in the midst of it all. Claudia is an artist, writer,  philanthropist, life coach, mentor, mother,  and wife. During her career as a journalist, she has worked for magazines and television in South America and the US, touching subjects from parenting, forgiveness, and growth to political issues.  She started her career on television at 17 years old as an actor, appearing in one the most popular Telenovelas  (Soap-opera) called Carmin, airing in over 37 counties as well as mini-series and advertising campaigns in South America. Soon after, she moved to behind the camera and, at 21, became one of the youngest producers in her country, where she wrote a manual that was later used to train other young producers. After moving to the US, she worked producing shows on the Strip, but when she became a single mother of three, she had to put her passion for writing on hold.  "I have dedicated the last 15 years of my life to empowering people, especially children, and women. As a life/abundance coach, I have helped people from different backgrounds to discover and implement the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing."   Born in Peru, Claudia comes from a culture of taboos and beliefs that had not always empowered her to become what she believed was her calling.
