Whew, y’all. In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life story that hit me right in the spirit the time I thought I was outsmarting my GPS… and ended up in chaos. What started as a simple drive to an event turned into a full-blown metaphor for how we move (or don’t) when life feels stuck.

I talk about what happens when we’re in a season of stillness whether it’s in our career, our marriage, our business, or our personal goals and everything feels delayed, quiet, or jammed. I also share what it taught me about trust, surrender, and how God’s “no reroute” doesn’t mean He’s forgotten you.

And sis, if you’ve already taken the exit and now feel like you’re in a bigger mess? This one’s for you too. There’s grace for your detour. Mercy in your mess. And yes..Open road still ahead.

So grab your journal, your tea, and your whole heart and let’s talk about the beauty of the jam, the danger of the detour, and why God’s timing always gets us there right on time.

Sis… this one hit close to home.

In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that checked me deep—in a paint studio with my daughter, where a simple “mommy and me” date turned into a Holy Spirit lesson on vision, fear, and faith. I realized I was doing what so many of us do: projecting doubt where I should’ve been protecting purpose.

We’re diving into why everybody can’t—and shouldn’t—carry your vision. I talk about the dangers of sharing too soon, seeking approval God never required, and why some visions need incubation, not interrogation.

This isn’t about judgment—it’s about wisdom. I had to learn (and relearn) that when God gives you the assignment, you don’t need to shop it around for validation. You just need to steward it with obedience, trust, and sometimes… a whole lot of quiet.

This one’s for every woman building something that doesn’t make sense to the crowd—but is completely clear to her spirit.

Hey chickadees! Let’s keep it real, have you ever set big goals and then ghosted them like a bad date? Same, sis. This week on Girl Listen, I’m pulling back the curtain on the one thing I’ve mastered over the years: inconsistency. But we’re not here to stay stuck, we’re here to shift!

In this episode, I’m confessing the chaos, unpacking the patterns, and most importantly, learning how to turn inconsistency into devotion. We’ll talk about:

• Why we stay busy but not better
• The difference between desire and devotion
• How fear (yes, even fear of success) keeps us stuck
• Why failure is not final, it’s feedback
• And how shifting from destination thinking to journey living will bring the joy back!

Whether you’ve been on the start-stop cycle with your faith, your goals, or your healing, this episode is your invitation to reset. We’re not chasing perfection just presence, purpose, and progress.

Plus, don’t miss this week’s sticky note takeaway and powerful closing prayer to help you recommit, not just to the grind, but to God.

Hey girl, hey! In this episode, I’m sharing how two little words—but and yet—completely shifted my perspective. For so long, I let delays and doubts make me feel like I was behind. But once I started using those words differently, everything changed. “I haven’t finished my degree… yet.” “I don’t see the full picture… but I still trust God.” Listen, sis—if you’ve been questioning your timing or your journey, this episode is your reminder that it’s not over. Your breakthrough might be one “but” or “yet” away. Let’s talk about it.

In this week’s episode of Girl Listen, I’m sharing what it really looks like to trust God and build something new—even when you’re walking through uncertainty. From leaving a 25-year career, launching a business and a nonprofit, to sitting in moments of doubt and still showing up… this is my wilderness story. It’s not perfect, but it’s purposed. And sis, if you’re in your own wilderness season, I pray this episode reminds you: you’re not empty, you’re equipped.

Season 2 Trailer: Faith, Growth & Stiletto Moments

Hey chickadees!

Welcome back to Girl Listen—I’m Candice Simmons, your host and the founder of Stiletto Ninjas, our fierce community where we show up for each other with faith, laughter, and real talk.

This season, we’re leaning into growth—the kind that comes from life’s unexpected twists, faith-filled detours, and those “did-that-just-happen?” moments that test our balance (especially in heels!). As a wife, mom, friend, and purpose-driven entrepreneur, I’m navigating it all right alongside you.

Each week, I’ll be sharing what life is teaching me in real time—from spiritual lessons to everyday struggles, to the unfiltered convos I’m having with my husband and homegirls. No fluff. Just truth, faith, and the occasional stumble.

So pull up, take a breath, and get ready to grow. Season 2 of Girl Listen is here—and we’re walking this thing out together.

Let’s strut with purpose, even when the heels wobble.

Candice
