Being “nice” has never saved a relationship.

In this solo episode of the Spritz Girl Mindset Podcast, I’m unpacking the difference between being nice and being kind, and why radical honesty is the true foundation of deeper connection.

We talk about:
✨ Why niceness often leads to people-pleasing and fake harmony
✨ How kindness is rooted in honesty and self-advocacy
✨ Navigating conflict without losing yourself
✨ Practical steps for showing up honestly in your friendships and relationships

If you’ve ever found yourself swallowing your feelings to avoid conflict, this one’s for you. Honesty can feel messy and uncomfortable, but it’s also where trust, safety, and real growth live.

Takeaways:

• Radical honesty builds trust and safety.

• Kindness = honesty + advocating for yourself.

• You are not responsible for managing someone else’s feelings.

• Messy growth is still growth.

What happens when a TV producer becomes a therapist? You get Cindy Ransom, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Volume Up Coaching, a new program created for millennial parents who are doing the deep work while raising little humans.

In this episode, we talk about the messy magic of reparenting yourself while also trying to break generational patterns, keep your cool, and still show up as a full human being. Cindy shares how our upbringing shapes the way we parent, why making mistakes is part of the process, and how community and emotional wellness are not just nice to have, but essential.

We also spiral (with purpose, of course) into the role music plays in emotional identity and healing, because sometimes the song understands what you are feeling before you do.

If you are a parent, a cycle-breaker, or someone trying to figure out how to raise yourself while raising others, this one is for you.

What We Talk About in This Episode:
✨ Parenting is one giant “first time” after another. Nobody knows what they’re doing, and that’s kind of the point.
✨ You’re supposed to mess up. That’s how you grow, learn, and actually connect.
✨ Reparenting yourself is brave and necessary, and also really freaking hard.
✨ When you’re triggered, it usually isn’t about just the moment. It’s about what’s bubbling underneath, frustration, exhaustion, feeling unseen.
✨ Yelling isn’t a failure. It’s a sign that your nervous system is maxed out, not that you’re a bad parent.
✨ Music isn’t just background noise. It can help you process emotions and reconnect with who you are.
✨ Keeping promises to yourself—even tiny ones—builds self-trust and quiet confidence.
✨ Emotional wellness isn’t about perfection. It’s about checking in with yourself, setting boundaries, and giving yourself permission to be.

In this enlightening conversation, Courtney Young and Candice Michelle explore the transformative journey of self-awareness through the lens of the Enneagram. They discuss the impact of personal experiences, such as a life-altering car accident, on self-discovery and growth. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of accountability, emotional intimacy, and the notion that everyone is enough just as they are. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their authentic selves and recognize their control over their lives, fostering deeper connections with themselves and others.

Self-awareness is a journey that often begins with difficult questions.

The Enneagram is a tool for understanding motivations, not just personality.

Life experiences, like accidents, can catalyze profound self-discovery.

Accountability is a form of self-love and essential for personal growth.

Emotional intimacy is crucial for building authentic relationships.

Everyone has different versions of themselves that deserve recognition.

You are enough; you don't need to constantly seek validation from others.

It's never too late to start being accountable to yourself.

Fear can be a starting point for deeper conversations about self.

The journey of self-discovery is just as important as the destination.

"You are in full control."

"Accountability is love."

"You are enough."
