Emphatically You with Candace

Hey ya'll Hey! Now, family, we all know that February is often considered the month of love. But.... what is love?
L-O-V_E! Love is patient, love is kind. Love isn't a once-a-year affair reserved for February 14th. Love is something we should be sharing every day. 
Join me as I share some personal anecdotes and practical tips on how you can incorporate more love into your life.

Hey, Hey, Hey family!!
From the past to the present, the legacy lives on.
It is Black History Month. This is the month that highlights the deep meaning of our people and our culture for the African American community and our nation as a whole. The African American community has ALWAYS possessed strength, courage, and wisdom. From one generation to the next.
In this episode, I want to honor Black History Month by exploring its significance in 2025—the opportunities it offers for reflection, education, and connection—and discuss how it continues to shape our journey toward equity and unity. Join in and listen as we talk about what Black History Month means to me and a few others. Come on in the room family. Happy Black History Month.

Hey, Hey, Hey Family!!! Welcome back to the Emphatically You with Candace podcast. January is almost over. As the month begins to come to an end, it feels fitting to tie together everything we have discussed this month- setting intentions instead of resolutions, reflecting, and resetting. This month is dedicated to being INTENTIONAL!!
This episode dives into an intentional living topic: mastering the art of time management and productivity. If we are going to live intentionally, we have to be mindful of how we spend one of our most precious resources. Our time. 
Let's get into it.

Hey, Hey, Hey family!!  Happy 2025! Welcome back to another episode of the Emphatically You with Candace podcast. In our last episode, we discussed intentionality- setting intentions instead of resolutions and how that shift can create a more purposeful year. 
Today we are building on that foundation with a conversation about reflection and resetting. Come on in and let's get into it.
PS- The previous episode was episode 37; not episode 39 as I said in the opening. My mind was running ahead.

Happiest NEW YEAR FAMILY!! 2024 is at the end and 2025 is winking and waving to say HERE I COME! 
As we usher in a new year, I want to remind you to live your life on purpose. Live the life inside of you out loud. Choose intentions over resolutions and set meaningful intentions for yourself as we celebrate this one life we get to live. 
“I honor my journey, my growth, and the grace I’ve given myself this year.”

Hey! Hey! Hey Family!!
I recorded episode six of the Emphatically You Podcast two years ago with Candace. The episode was titled, Made for Now. It was my birthday celebration episode, and it was super fun. I was still so, so, so new to podcasting. Little did I know, it would become one of the most popular episodes of my podcast journey. Even today, it has received and continues to receive the most downloads. 
Join me as I share a part of my journey and some inspiration to pursue your passions even if you are just starting.

Hey, Hey, Hey!!
Turning Twenty-One, Two Years Done: Cheers to Maia & Emphatically You! Family, on April 20th, the Emphatically You Podcast celebrated two years of allowing my voice to be heard. I am still in awe! I am continuing to work to be better each day. 
Today's episode is special in so many different ways because we not only get to celebrate two years of podcasting magic, but we also are celebrating a wonderful milestone. TODAY is my daughter Maia's 21st birthday!!
I still remember the day I went into labor and the night I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It is hard to believe that was 21 years ago.
Sit back, relax, and kick off your shoes while we celebrate these blessings together!!
