Ever notice how some parts of life feel amazing while other parts feel really hard—at the exact same time? Inspired by a conversation with Hilary Duff, Candace reflects on the many facets of our lives and why not every side of our diamond has to sparkle all at once.
In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace reflects on a conversation she heard while listening to Hilary Duff on Jay Shetty’s podcast. Hilary spoke openly about how life can feel incredibly good in some areas while being very difficult in others—and how those realities can exist at the same time.
That insight immediately resonated with Candace and reminded her of a past conversation with Saul Blinkoff, who once described life using the metaphor of a diamond. A diamond has many facets, each reflecting light differently. Some sides sparkle brilliantly, while others may appear quieter or less polished.
Just like that diamond, our lives are made up of many roles and experiences. We may be thriving in certain areas—our work, friendships, creativity—while other parts of life may feel challenging, uncertain, or in need of care.
Candace shares how comforting it can be to remember that everything doesn’t have to shine perfectly all at once. Different facets of our lives can hold different experiences simultaneously, and that doesn’t diminish the beauty of the whole.
This episode is a gentle reminder that your diamond is multi-faceted. Some sides may sparkle brightly today, while others may simply be waiting for their moment in the light.
And that’s perfectly okay.
