In this episode of I Can’t, I’m Healing, I sit down with Candace, director of the Springboard Home for Girls in Tucson (part of Teen Challenge)—a pastor, licensed social worker, and mom who has walked through real struggles and now pours her story back into hope for young women.

We talk about:

• What safe place mindfulness is and how it retrains our hearts and bodies to recognize safety

• The hard but freeing truth that kids don’t need us to be their professionals—they need us to be their parents

• Why acceptance is more powerful than “tolerance” when it comes to bridging generations

• How to keep hope alive in heavy seasons without walking alone

Candace shares deeply from her own story as a mom and leader, and near the end she guides us through a short Safe Place mindfulness practice you can follow along with wherever you are.

This isn’t just another conversation about self-care—it’s an invitation to experience what true safety feels like, with honesty, grace, and hope.
