It’s my birthday, baby, 44 years young.
And in true Random Candace Thoughts fashion, I’m not here for the sugar-coated, Pinterest-perfect version. I’m here to keep it honest.
This episode is a birthday reflection on what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) about life, grief, parenting, aging, and starting over.
We’re talking:• Why red flags don’t turn green with time• Why growth feels lonelier than rock bottom• The price of peace• And how grief never expires—but neither does your power to rebuild
Plus, I share this week’s Oliver’s Light segment to honor my grandson, and why this birthday feels both beautiful and bittersweet.
If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to pivot, too hard to keep going, or too messy to start again, this one’s for you.
Grab a seltzer, sit in the sun, and let’s talk real life.
Cheers to 44!
