Hi, I'm Candice
Here's a little real and raw insight into my journey...
As a very skinny girl growing up I was teased constantly about how I looked.
Comments like 'Do you even eat?' were the norm (even though I had an extremely balanced diet and was constantly snacking)
As a teen, when all of my friends were 'becoming women' and developing much quicker than me, I was told I looked like a child and that I should 'Eat more and get some meat on my bones' because I didn't have curves like a 'real woman'.
​
This made me feel like I constantly had to prove myself. Prove to everyone around me that I was actually 'normal'...
I did modelling throughout my late teens and early 20's and instead of growing my confidence, as a naturally shy girl, it did the opposite.
​
At 21, I was the skinniest I'd been since leaving school, but at 1.76m tall and a straight size 8, I was still the 'wider' and 'shorter' girl in castings.
​
I soon found myself covering up more and more. Looser clothing, extra padded bra's and flat shoes became my norm.
In the years that followed I adopted numerous bad habits along with a large dose of self-doubt
After loosing my father suddenly in 2013, followed by my uncle and grandmother all within months, I found myself completely depressed and experiencing major anxiety attacks.
While it wasn't all bad... Along the way I made big shifts in my career, I connected more with my emotions and spirituality, and ultimately realized my lifestyle and habits were not serving me and needed to change.
​
Fast forward 7 years, tons of inner work and therapy, entering and leaving my corporate buying career, moving cities (again) and becoming an Image Consultant...
I can finally say this...
I know how it feels to not like who's looking back at you in the mirror... And to just feel 'meh'
​
BUT... Here's the thing...
YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH!
You are strong, resilient and beautiful just as you are
This is your reminder that your worth is not measured by your waistline.
Trust me when I say there's no better time to start accepting and loving yourself than NOW!
​
You are your greatest asset and everything that makes you who you are is perfectly unique!
You are 100% worth it and you deserve to FEEL GOOD in your skin, EVERY day so you can go after your goals with confidence and show up powerfully for yourself and others!
