All Things Relatable

Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast! In today's cozy solo chat, Candace shares the sweet, soulful wisdom our dogs (and even cats!) offer us when we're paying attention. From the joy of a simple walk to the magic of igniting our senses, this episode is a gentle reminder to embrace presence, light up for those we love, and find peace in the quiet seasons of life.

This mini but mighty episode is all about tuning into gratitude and breaking the cycle of negativity. I share a story from my own life—yes, complete with a Whitney Houston moment!—and talk about the simple, powerful habit of keeping a gratitude journal. If you're stuck in a loop of venting, complaining, or low vibes, this is your gentle nudge to start looking for the light. Grab a pen, a notebook, and join me in raising our vibes through the magic of a grateful heart.

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores the tender theme of belonging and the deep work of self-healing. She shares honest reflections on moments when she tried to fit into spaces that weren't truly meant for her—and the ache that comes from craving inclusion while fearing rejection.Through her own healing journey, Candace has come to understand that some spaces are for growth, and others are for release. There's power in discerning the difference. She speaks about the beauty of finding the right community, one that feels like soul-alignment, and how sometimes we need solitude to truly rediscover ourselves.If you're in a season of uncertainty or shedding old versions of yourself, may this episode feel like a gentle hug. Trust the unfolding. The right doors will open when you're ready. Candace Dunaway is the host of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast. She practices daily gratitude and believes that this practice is the key to living a joyful life.

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.
