On this episode of First Paso, Candace opens up about the raw reality of grief—how we navigate deep loss, process unexpected emotions, and make space for healing.

Grieving loss of anything—a loved one, a job, a rhythm of life—is complex, and the process doesn't follow a script. Whether you're personally grieving and needing comfort, or supporting a friend through loss, it's important to normalize grief, however it presents itself.

How do we move forward while honoring what was lost?

Listen as Candace explores the unpredictable journey of grief, how it manifests in unexpected ways, and how to find space for both sorrow and gratitude.
