She Lost Herself Trying to Be Perfect… Then Everything Changed | Candice Lyn
In this deeply raw and transformative episode of the ASQ Podcast, Dr. Jessie Ferreira sits down with Candice Lyn — author, coach, and creator of Awaken — whose journey from people-pleasing, disconnection, and survival mode to self-trust and inner peace reveals what it truly means to come home to yourself.
Born and raised in a small town in Utah, Candice grew up in what she describes as a “normal” family.
But beneath the surface… life was already shaping her.
After her parents’ divorce at 16 and the devastating loss of her older brother, something within her shifted:
A deep, unconscious belief formed —
I am not safe.
For over a decade, Candice lived disconnected from herself…
navigating life, marriage, and motherhood from a place of survival — not presence.
Becoming a mother at just 19…
Candice built her entire identity around being “the perfect mom.”
She did what many women are taught to do:
She gave everything to everyone else.
And slowly… she lost herself.
She opens up about:
• Living with hidden emotional wounds despite a “normal” upbringing
• The impact of losing her brother and feeling unsafe
• Becoming a young mother and losing her identity
• The pressure of perfection — and how it affected her children
• Being a chronic people-pleaser, always shrinking to keep peace
Everything changed with one heartbreaking moment.
When her daughter said:
“Mom, I’m sorry that all I’ve ever done is disappoint you.”
That sentence shattered everything.
Because Candice realized —
it wasn’t her daughter who needed to change…
It was her.
This episode explores:
• How subconscious “codes” shape your life
• The nervous system patterns behind fear and people-pleasing
• Why perfectionism is rooted in deeper wounds
• What happens when you finally choose yourself
• How inner shifts transform your relationships
To stop abandoning herself…
and start choosing herself — no matter the cost.
What followed wasn’t just change…
It was transformation.
From chaos to peace.
From anxiety to alignment.
From survival… to self-love.
Today, Candice is the author of Awaken — and is helping others break free from subconscious patterns and reclaim their true identity.
This episode is for anyone who:
• Feels stuck in repeating patterns
• Struggles with people-pleasing or identity
• Carries unresolved emotional wounds
• Feels disconnected from themselves
• Is ready to live more authentically
Candice’s story is a reminder that:
You don’t lose yourself overnight…
but you can find yourself in a moment of truth.
The most powerful decision you’ll ever make
is to choose yourself.
