Overview:

In this special Halloween episode, Candice Elliott reflects on slowing down, personal transitions, and the connection between life and death that Halloween embodies. She also shares updates on her latest creative project—a book about motherhood and feminine authority—while offering heartfelt advice on navigating life's changes.

Key Highlights:

  • Slowing Down: Candice explores how the seasonal transition invites us to slow down without stopping, embracing a pace that allows for connection and presence in our lives.
  • Honoring Ancestors and Cycles: Halloween marks a time to reflect on life's natural cycles and honor those who have passed.
  • Book Update: Candice shares details about her upcoming book, focused on postpartum experiences, systemic injustice, and reclaiming feminine authority.
  • Supporting New Moms: Candice encourages listeners to support new mothers in simple, meaningful ways, like offering practical help.
  • Tarot Insights: She reflects on the Three of Swords card, a metaphor for healing from emotional wounds.

"Slowness does not mean nothing is happening. It’s happening in a different way that still meets the needs."

If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.

Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.

Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
