In this heartfelt solo episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores what it really means to love through the mess. Relationships, much like our homes, aren’t meant to stay pristine and spotless. There will be clutter, laundry piles, and moments when you’re tempted to throw it all away — or “burn down the house.” Candace shares a grounded and compassionate perspective on how our deepest wounds often get triggered in relationships, making us believe the other person is the problem. But in truth, these moments are reflections and invitations to tend to what’s within us. Instead of destroying the foundation, we can learn to clean up the mess, one piece at a time, with patience, presence, and grace. This is a gentle reminder that life doesn’t need to be perfect, relationships don’t need to be spotless, and healing doesn’t happen all at once. Sometimes the greatest love is found in choosing not to burn it all down when things get messy.
