In this heartfelt solo episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores the subtle but powerful difference between imposter syndrome and simply not being in energetic alignment yet. When stepping into new spaces, it’s natural to feel nervous or out of place—but that doesn’t always mean you’re an imposter. Sometimes, it’s just your soul preparing you for the next chapter.

Candace reflects on her belief of how true imposter syndrome stems from feelings of unworthiness, while energetic misalignment is about growing into spaces your soul already knows are meant for you. She reminds listeners that discomfort doesn’t mean you don’t belong—it’s often just a sign of expansion, and part of the natural feelings we all experience in everyday life.Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
