If there's one thing I love it is raw, real, uncensored TRUTH. My amazing guest this week, Candi Rose, has that in spades and needless to say, our conversation is incredible. Candi Rose is a TEDx Speaker, Keynote Speaker, and the author of NAKED, known for her powerful, truth-centered storytelling that helps women reclaim their confidence, identity, and freedom. Her book, NAKED, is an unflinching true story that reveals what truly happens behind closed doors when no one is watching. It uncovers the parts we desperately try to hide out of the fear of rejection and judgment from others. I loved reading this book, it is a WILD, exciting ride with pure, authentic storytelling and shocking twists and turns that keep you enthralled. And Candi lived it! Getting to hash it all out together on the show was such a treat, refreshing, and fun!
On this guest episode, Candi dives into her story and the many defeats before her success. Including her & I taking some time to share our experiences of bullying and the significant repercussions it can have mentally and emotionally. Candi elaborates on the unique themes and events from her book like getting drawn into the world of money, drugs, & strip clubs to being arrested, going to jail, and losing everything. The things that Candi has bounced back from are truly the stuff of heroes, which is exactly what she is! Candi has also graced the stage of TedX and many other public speaking forums where she shines. Be sure to check out all her links below!
BIO:
After building a highly successful career as a real estate investor, flipping hundreds of homes and creating financial independence, Candi Rose made a bold decision to step away from what looked like success on paper to pursue what felt like purpose in her spirit. She followed a calling to help women break free from the past, stop hiding their truth, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and faith. As a survivor of domestic violence, Candi brings a rare combination of strength, compassion, and credibility to every conversation. She speaks from lived experience, not theory, offering insight into how women can rebuild self-trust, heal their relationship with themselves, and create a life rooted in honesty and personal responsibility. Candi’s work is grounded, practical, and empowering. Her goal is never just to inspire, but to equip. Every audience walks away with clear, actionable takeaways they can apply immediately to create real, lasting change in their lives. Her message is simple, but transformative: when women stop hiding, everything changes. By exposing the toxic shame that Candi and so many others have endured, NAKED creates a powerful message of hope, healing, connection and compassion for anyone struggling in silence and feeling isolated.
What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
