Today's Beautiful Guest Candace Byrd has a professional background in Clinical Mental Health along with life experience. She is the Owner of the movement, Crack your Mask, helping women to show up authentically. Her message is deeply rooted in "Show up as your true self!" 

Power Notes for this Episode:

* having a mask is exhausting and you don't have what you need

* go to college to get a good degree and make good money, for her it was Accountant

* accountant wasn't who she was or what she wanted to do

* wrote down what made her happy and took time to notice the patterns, then figured out a new direction

* learned how to get the mind right through "cognitive behavior" techniques

* the mind is very strong, when you can control that, you can pretty much get what you want

* however if the mind is weak you can be easily swayed

* Kids need to know who they are

* we need to involve children in the process of their own development so they can have the tools to figure out different circumstances and decisions on their own

* be intentional about who you honestly are

* being intentional about who you are, is a continuous process because we are always growing, shedding, and becoming new!

* The key is feeling peace within yourself

* God, show me Who I am and and how you designed me to be

* its alot of things to work on good and bad 

* If you are going out into the world and you feel one way, but come back home and feel another way, then you are not aligned

* don't feel guilty and don't put it off 

* don't allow yourself to be easily offended, take critique and work on yourself

* don't fight the change allow God all the way in

* give yourself grace

* sometimes people can help you on the surface but you may need to go deeper

* not a sprint, a marathon, take your time

* we can manage the pain and be comfortable in the chaos

* your not weak or less than just because we want to work on becoming our better selves

* be ok with not being ok and seek help like therapy

* insight, nurtures, creators of life, great responsibility soft touch but powerful strong, meek , gentle, quiet spirit

* men are visionaries- they see the whole plan

* women are executers- they help bring it to pass and manifest the vision

* command the room full of males as a woman, without becoming out of control
