Sometimes life kicks you in the the ass when you're just trying to walk. I get it. Sometimes it's never what you want in life but where the journey “of” life plans on taking you. Even with a foot up your ass I encourage you to take life in strides. Move at your own pace. One day at a time. Eventually? It won't feel like that anymore . Like someone practically kicked you in the ass.. it may just feel like the ups and downs. The true rhythm of life. Take it in strides. #Iloveyou. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Life hurts; it absolutely has the potential to tear you to pieces. I've found that sometimes I can relate more to my torn pieces than to realize and conceptualize that I'm standing right here, in the moment. I'm in this... current moment. So are you. When we begin to see value in ourselves we essentially skyrocket to our dreams. Or free fall... You see, it's easy to forget who we are when we look at everyone and everything else around us. Good or bad, we must understand that all we have "is" us. Our body is" Us". Delve deeper into this topic in the following few weeks, continuing with Luna Nox & Travis Simmions . A special thank you for coming on and allowing the world to hear your voice, Hear your passion & appreciate what you have to offer; You. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Being in the moment is quite an uncomfortable experience, however, it is an experience. I've begun taking life into strides, accepting myself for who I am and not "where" I want to be. You? Are meant to be where you are, right now In this moment.

I've started over many times in my life, and the cool part about it all? I can keep doing it. Sometimes I've built my life on strong foundations, and sometimes I won't. Sometimes I just didn't know what I was doing. That was a truth that finally dawned on me. I didn't know what, or who I wanted to be. I didn't want to have so much control--I wanted to just be. Let the controller down, take a break... and just "breathe." There was still time to go! Time to try! Time to be--- It was time to tell a story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Once upon a time, in the depths of my childhood dreams, I yearned to be someone—a beacon of light, a guiding star in a vast universe. As the years unfolded and I journeyed into adulthood, I discovered a profound sense of serenity as I found my purpose in life. It's a purpose that allows me to embark on a remarkable adventure—unveiling the incredible stories of artists from every corner of existence. In this chapter of my life, I have the privilege of sitting back, microphone in hand, ready to dive deep into the souls of these gifted individuals. They come from diverse walks of life, each carrying their own unique melody, painting, or dance. And as I engage with them, I witness the extraordinary unfold—their essence There is a magic in this shared journey—a connection that transcends time and space. It's in these moments that I become a part of their story, gently stitching the threads of their past, present, and future. Their vulnerability , igniting a flame of empathy within my own soul. Through their narratives, I witness the blooming of creativity—a tender bud that bursts forth with vibrant colors, eager to paint the world with its own unique strokes. It is an honor to bear witness to their growth, their struggles, and their victories. Each conversation weaves a tapestry of inspiration, encouraging others to nurture their own dreams and embrace their true selves. As I walk alongside these remarkable souls, I am reminded of the little girl who once yearned to be someone. Now, as a humble guardian of their stories, I have found that being a part of something greater is the greatest gift of all. And as their stories intertwine with mine, my purpose becomes clearer, my spirit lighter, and my heart fuller. So, join me on this heartfelt journey, listener, as we delve into the lives of these extraordinary artists. Together, let us celebrate their brilliance, their resilience, and the timeless power of human creativity. May their stories inspire us to nurture our own dreams, to embrace our own purpose, and to forever cherish the transformative magic that lies within each and every one of us.

I'm fairly proud of sadgirlseason. As I sit back and write ideas of what that even means, my heart blooms with the idea that I could help people find the peace within themselves as I do. I'm not perfect by a long shot, I don't always do the right thing, and you know what? I may not be right "now." However what I do know is I can't stop thinking about this. I can't stop dreaming about it and when I feel like THIS? I know it's time to create. So bare with me no matter what that looks like. :) I'm a spirit having a human experience.

Dude, I've experienced a lot of change lately. Most of this change was just unbelievable. However at this point I've got no choice other than to go with the punches and start a new life. Accept that shift in destination. "Where" the wind blows I must say. I am afraid. Really. I am super afraid, but I'm not so afraid that I want to stop. I can't stop now at this point. This dream wakes me up at night. It forces me to write. It forces me to think and see myself as more than just some loser. I have dreamed big things and KNOW they will come true. Just you watch. I just have to get out of my own way. I love you. Thanks for being here.

Every year we tend to rinse and repeat the same process. Same job. Same hopes. Same ambitions. It's this crazy cycle of just.. telling yourself "Not my dreams today, i've got work instead". Of course there's always time for rest, for moments of clarity. For moments of feeling like "whew" what am I doing with my life? That's okay! It's just not okay to sit there. When I tell you I believe in you, dude I mean it. I mean it now, 5 minutes from now, I mean it tomorrow too. I believe in you. Go accomplish those dreams.

*CAUTION* This dork right here? Yeah, this dork right here got so excited to produce a podcast that she absolutely FORGOT to not only double check, but TRIPLE check her microphone. Thus, this podcast will end up having a slight echo. As bummer as this sounds, it may not be the first nor the last of mistakes. I guess you can say that's the beauty of being able to make little failures and make them back up by doing better the next time. I have definitely learned a valuable lesson on making sure all the I's are dotted and those T's are crossed. Life can be so tight, so unforgiving that It's so easy to yell at yourself in hopes of solving a problem. Just like in the saying "When life gives you lemons." Make solutions, make lemonade baby. :) Thanks for being here. We look forward to sharing more work. Don't worry, we're just getting warmed up.

I had this discussion with a friend about our mental health being so debilitating that we can't go to work. We cant exist. We can't survive. The pressures build like some experimental explosion in our heads. It gets deep, it gets intense, it gets "real". The fact that many people would choose to stay silent about the true issues of society is absolutely insane. We live in this rat race, a place where we're doing nothing but spinning on a wheel awaiting our untimely doom, or death, whatever the "end" looks like to you. We drown in our daily responsibilities with the expectation to put a smile on our face & thank God we don't live like other people right? It could be worse right? Well it is. This isn't some pain Olympics . It's humanity deteriorating at its core. One thing we all share in common? Our pain. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Who knows if this really was episode 7. I'm not honestly sure myself. It's been so long since I really tried to focus. I had been drowning under so much weight , so many expectations… it's so rewarding to be on this side of life. The side where I can make all the choices I want. I'm free. I quit my job, and although I may not know what to do next. I do know that these steps are for me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Hey guys, meet our special guest VEE! I absolutely enjoy having her as a friend, especially in this corner of the world. ——I know it's been awhile, but I'm glad to say I'm trekking on this journey called life and.. it takes steps, moments, & overall just trial and error. Thus .. tonight's topic is, “What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you?” Please dear listener, so be advised… this topic contains a TRIGGER WARNING!!!!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Healing is a journey that definitely doesn't take place overnight. Where you stand now, won't be that way many days, months, and years to come. Learn to be “safe” with yourself. No matter what.. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Joaquin Phoenix played an amazing Joker. Of course that is soley opinon based. I recalled many people grimacing at the idea that this movie was just “too real.” From the way they dipcted the growth of the Joker, down to when he was fully “blossomed” if you will. He , in turn became the beast of society. The child that was dismissed . In truth I believe it made us as a whole uncomfortable because, for most of us we pass people like this everyday. How often do you find yourself ignoring the already distanced co-worker. Or perhaps you're a teacher watching your student become the wallflower . Maybe you are the wallflower… Just know dearest listener, you are not alone. See you next time. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Hey Listeners, Before I begin, remember this is a safe space to speak. Be yourself, feel free and comfortable to share your ideas. All we ask ? Keep it professional....(sorta) Back in 2021 I had my spiritual awakening. That is also when I met Nick, of course (we'll get to how we met eventually) -- but anyways continuing on. I started to realize how scripted a lot of things in life were. The whole 9-5, going to school, being good kids, going to church every Sunday, you know? The continued cycle they keep spitting to us. Give it a second, this is only the first episode to the next season!! Get ready...set...go. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

You know how we start every January with “New year, New me?” I figured I'd toss in the unpopular opinion and say, “stop.” Let's stop the same old cycle. Every year it's the same thing, toss in a few quotes, start up that diet , maybe change up our friend circle … & before you know it, we're smack dab in the middle of the previous year. Haven fallen back into old routines.. life just.. happens. What I'm trying to say is… be kinder to yourself with your expectations. Flourish on the idea that you'll make it to your destination regardless if you walk, crawl, skip, or run. You'll get there, push yourself, yes… but don't forget to take a sip of grace. I love you friend, ttyl.

Love had given me both tragedy and great experiences of being upon heavenly planes. I've grown to understand that love will always come in many shapes , sizes, and forms. Nonetheless, the point. I will strive to tell you this each time I get my friend, BE THE PERSON you wish to be! You need that. You deserve that. YOU! Go be YOU. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support

Hello world! It's your friendly always late podcaster :). Nonetheless, today is the first of November. A new month, a clean slate— a new sheet to start over new. A lot of things hold us back from being ourselves. Pain, trauma, heartbreak , you name it.. it holds you down. Ive learned that if I just start over, break my days down into moments so that I can actually LIVE in the moment— I find me. I find me through the storm, I find me in the midst of it all. I find me behind constantly cleaning the dishes, I find me behind always having reasons to be busy, I FIND me when I sit down.. and allow myself to be Me. Find you my friend, find yourself through all the masks you place upon yourself. Find you. I promise you—- life will be greener. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekandicewilliamshow/support
