The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast

Sending the shoulder pads back to the 80's

Episode Summary

What are you carrying that no longer belongs to you? Inspired by a conversation at a publishing conference, Candace reflects on the tension we hold in our bodies, the emotional baggage we may have inherited or accumulated over time, and the possibility that healing can happen far beyond what we've been told is possible.

Episode Notes

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a moment from a publishing conference, speaker from Penguin said it looked like he was wearing shoulder pads throughout the 80s, but really his shoulders were simply stuck up by his ears from stress. The comment sparked a deeper reflection about the ways we carry tension in our bodies—not just from our busy lives, but perhaps from old emotional wounds, family patterns, and experiences we haven't fully released.

Candace explores the connection between the physical and the emotional, sharing her own journey with chronically tight shoulders and a chiropractor's comment that they would likely never change. But what if that's not true? What if healing is possible in ways we don't yet understand? This episode is a gentle invitation to notice what you're carrying, question the stories you've been told about your limitations, and remain open to the possibility of miracles.
