In this episode, Candace reflects on the stories people create, the weight of trying to control the uncontrollable, and the freedom that comes from letting those stories go.
In this week's episode, Candace explores how easy it is to fill in the gaps when life feels uncertain. Whether it's a relationship, work, parenting, or an unanswered question, the mind often creates a story to make sense of what it doesn't know—and before long, that story can begin to feel like reality.
Using the image of holding tightly to an empty dog leash, Candace reflects on the illusion of control, the weight of assumptions, and how journaling has helped her release anxious thoughts instead of carrying them in her body. It's a gentle reminder to loosen the grip, question the stories we create, and leave space for the truth to unfold.
