“Every life lived is an untold story waiting to be written.”
What I have discovered is that the mind does not know, it only collecting information. It can help me drive a car and remember how to turn on the coffee pot. It can help me spell and write stories that have meaning to me. It remembers (sometimes) where I put my keys and how to get to the store. But when it comes to decision making it is truly inept, a light switch on a fake wall, disconnected from its power source. My mind has gotten me into more predicaments, more trouble than I care to remember but am inclined not to forget. – Writes Candace Conradi
In this episode, Candace Conradi talks about the mind, spirituality, and everything else in between!

As a young woman, I had a female friend introduce me to the Unity faith. I had never had much guidance growing up and the minister became a father-figure for me, a teacher, and a mentor. With his guidance, I took the first step, on a very long journey, to transforming my life. Based on metaphysics, the Unity religion became the springboard to a lifetime of personal discovery. I was hungry to understand the human condition and so I read constantly. I studied the Tao Te Ching, Yogananda's life and work, exoteric writers from many different disciplines, learned the different nuances of different faiths and eventually found my own path. I was a devout student of astrology, my first esoteric dive into self-help, and explored my painful past with a variety of counselors.
Eventually, I had my first breakthrough healing experience when I met a counselor who practiced EMDR and EFT (the first, an eye movement therapy for trauma; the second: emotional focused therapy using tapping). Then, on my 60th birthday, my son gave me a Human Design reading. Studying, practicing, and experimenting with Human Design for nearly 6 years resulted in a profoundly deeper healing experience for me, one that has transformed my life completely. That gift of HD tied all the other work of my life together and made sense of a journey that had been, up to that point, filled with self-doubt, fear, and frustration.
In essence, Human Design demonstrates how awareness changes the game. It provides each person with their own "user's manual" or what I like to call their own "life map." It has taught me to trust myself completely, helped me be comfortable in my own skin, to respect the journey others are on and to trust my life's past, it's present, and yes, even my future. HD's science is exact, deep and complex and rarely if ever wrong. It is not a belief system and one cannot "learn" to do it ... it is meant to be experimented with and lived. The path is challenging but the rewards are continuous, deep, lasting and gratifying.
I have embraced my life as a writer and look forward to opportunities to guide others in living their own unique natures as a Living Your Design certified guide. There is no greater gift to give back to life than to live who we are completely, authentically and without apology. I have always been someone who wanted to offer hope to others that a beautiful life was possible to live. It is a gift that was given to me and I'd like to pass it on in any way I can.
