Show Notes

Segment 1

Candace McKim shares how her upbringing, steeped in nature-based spirituality and intuitive awareness, shaped her journey into becoming a manifestation coach and yoga therapist. She emphasizes that intuition is a choice, describing how ignoring repeated intuitive nudges ultimately taught her to trust her inner guidance more deeply. Through meditation, spiritual travel, and emotional insight, she now helps others recognize the physical and energetic signs of intuitive knowing to live with more purpose and alignment.

Segment 2

Candace McKim discusses how love, compassion, and intuition guide her business, including a moment when she waived payments for a struggling client so they could stay in her program and succeed. She shares how pivotal intuitive decisions—like closing her yoga studio before a spiritual journey to India—led to unexpected growth, the creation of oracle cards, and international teaching. Emphasizing that intuition is the voice of the soul, Candace encourages listeners to trust their inner guidance, embrace discomfort, and step boldly into their purpose.

Segment 3

Candace recounts how her spiritual practice directly fueled her business breakthroughs, including her unplanned but divinely-timed TEDx Talk and the creation of the Clarity, Confidence, Connection Summit. She describes how intuition and flow—not hustle—guided her to relaunch her manifestation program, which rapidly doubled her income and helped clients achieve powerful financial and personal results. By blending intuition, spirituality, and strategic coaching, Candace empowers others to align with their soul’s guidance and manifest meaningful success.

Segment 4

Candace encourages listeners to trust their intuitive nudges by tuning into how they feel—distinguishing fear from ego by leaning into what feels both exciting and aligned. She shares her daily practices of meditation, affirmations, movement, and imagination (like writing down “6 impossible things before breakfast”) to maintain a high vibration and spiritual connection. Ultimately, she urges heart-centered entrepreneurs to trust that leading with compassion and purpose not only enriches others’ lives, but naturally leads to aligned and abundant success.

00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:56.154 Candace McKim: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited for what we're gonna dive into today.

00:03:56.450 --> 00:03:58.030 Linda Marsanico: Well, I'm excited, too.

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:03.519 Linda Marsanico: My 1st question is, when you look at your youth, your

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:10.600 Linda Marsanico: your past, your adolescence, and forward. What are the influences that bring you to where you are today.

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:32.800 Candace McKim: The strongest influences were my mom and my grandfather. They were both. My grandfather was what they called in the prairies of Canada a Water Witch, and he would have these tithing sticks, and he would go to farms and find water.

00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:54.290 Candace McKim: And my dad was saying one time he was using the sticks and was holding the sticks, and they knew there was water there, and my father couldn't get them to to go in, and my grandpa just put his hand on my dad's arm, and they immediately went in, and so there was water there, so they knew to dig for water, and so.

00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:08.490 Candace McKim: and he. Of course he raised my mom, and it was always a belief in our household that you don't need to go to church to pray that there you get into nature, and nature was a really strong force of spirituality.

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.280 Candace McKim: I don't.

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:13.200 Linda Marsanico: That's a wonderful beginning to your

00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:17.080 Linda Marsanico: gifts that you'll share with our listeners pretty soon.

00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:19.190 Candace McKim: Yeah, you're in.

00:05:19.190 --> 00:05:19.970 Linda Marsanico: Like this.

00:05:20.830 --> 00:05:21.580 Candace McKim: Sorry go ahead.

00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:24.150 Linda Marsanico: You're intuitive punches

00:05:24.670 --> 00:05:34.939 Linda Marsanico: that you mentioned to me last time we spoke, being on the plane and having that hunch. That's I'll let you tell the story at some point during the broadcast. Okay.

00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:44.250 Candace McKim: Yeah, no, it was. I was. Really little like, I know a lot of people. They have like something, major, an illness or

00:05:44.720 --> 00:06:05.620 Candace McKim: something, Major. That kind of wakes them up spiritually, but I kind of felt like I was always kind of I'm not going to say awake, but kind of connected to duality connected to intuition. I remember being a little little girl, and told to sit kneel beside my bed and pray at night, and I was praying to God, and I was like.

00:06:05.820 --> 00:06:17.000 Candace McKim: and I know I didn't use this language at that time, but I was thinking, Well, if there's a male. There has to be a female right like, if there's a if I'm praying to some male God, there has to be a female god, and so

00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:41.699 Candace McKim: I would pray to both, and and even in my early childhood I would pray to like a heavenly father, but a mother earth like I just knew there had to be some sort of duality that that it wasn't just. You know, the Father in heaven. And then at 12, my mom and dad they were not hippies, you would think they were hippies, but they were self-employed, and they were running a business and raising 3 teenagers.

00:06:41.800 --> 00:07:03.809 Candace McKim: And my mom was getting very stressed out, and so she went to the doctor, and the doctor prescribed valium to her, and she's like, I can't take this stuff. I can't take this stuff and do what I need to do. And so, at the young age of I was 12 years old, they took our whole family to learn how to meditate, and it was like 6 months. Every Thursday night we learned how to meditate.

00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:12.689 Candace McKim: and so I was guided on my path right from a really young age into into connection connecting spirit connecting to my intuition.

00:07:13.470 --> 00:07:14.360 Candace McKim: Beautiful?

00:07:14.510 --> 00:07:15.640 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah.

00:07:16.940 --> 00:07:20.819 Linda Marsanico: What would you say? The role of spirituality is in your life.

00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:42.850 Candace McKim: Well, it's played a huge role in my life, and I didn't realize, though, until I wrote my book, Yogini's Guide. Intuition is a choice. And then I looked back, and then I realized how much I had been guided on the path. Like I said, I started my meditation practice at 12 years old, meditating every single day.

00:07:43.080 --> 00:08:09.560 Candace McKim: you know, of course, over the last, you know, 50, some years I haven't meditated every single day, but you know I meditate. I still meditate every single day, but there was periods, of course, that I didn't. But yeah, starting that young at that young age. But when I look back, I was really guided into even. I traveled a lot in my twenties, and when I look back I realize how much I was guided to spiritual places to learn about different

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:33.240 Candace McKim: different things, like, I spent my 21st birthday in Israel on a Kibbutz, and I'm not Jewish, I you know. But I ended up there was suggested. So I went. And then, you know, just I was just guided to just just different, really holy places my whole life, and I didn't realize it until I look back right until you start looking back and you go.

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:40.810 Candace McKim: Oh, I see how it's guided me. But really and and my intuition and my business decisions. It's always been guiding me. And

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:51.820 Candace McKim: you know I had a yoga studio. I was a social worker, and then I, you know, got an intuitive hit in meditation to become a yoga therapist. So I took my training, and

00:08:51.820 --> 00:09:13.309 Candace McKim: it all just fell into place so easily. And then, when I you know I was running teaching in my Yoga classes and running this Yoga studio, I always said, Well, I do my business. I do business like a woman. I don't run it like the way other people are running businesses. I do it my way. And then I just realized how I was just guided and guided and guided along the path.

00:09:14.540 --> 00:09:21.600 Linda Marsanico: You talk about the decision to be intuitive or the intuitive punch?

00:09:22.010 --> 00:09:22.470 Linda Marsanico: Yeah.

00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:27.990 Linda Marsanico: And you told me a story about being on an airplane with your family.

00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:28.850 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah.

00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:30.550 Linda Marsanico: Share that with our listeners.

00:09:31.490 --> 00:09:54.260 Candace McKim: Yeah. So we were. On we went. Did a family holiday. I have 3 children, my husband and I and our 3 kids. We went to Costa Rica, and on the way home from the trip on the way home my daughter came over and said, Can I get the camera to look at the photos, and I just instantly got an intuitive hit. This camera is going to be left on the plane. And I said, like I hesitated.

00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:04.109 Candace McKim: But you know she was a teenager and didn't want to be said no to right. And she's like, you know, I just want to look at them while we're sitting on the plane like.

00:10:04.110 --> 00:10:26.109 Candace McKim: like it was no big deal. And I'm like, Okay, just don't forget to give it back to me. And she said, okay. So I handed her the camera. She went. She, you know, sat in the sat down, and they were looking at all the photos and stuff, because the 3 kids were in one seat and my husband and I had another. And so they're looking at all the photos. And then at 1 point I went up to get the camera, and it was in the pocket, and the string was hanging out the front pocket.

00:10:26.190 --> 00:10:42.380 Candace McKim: and I said, Oh, are you done with the photos. Can I take the camera back? And she said, Oh, no, we're going to edit. I was just editing some more. I'm going to look at some more. And I'm like, Okay, but don't forget to give it back to me. And so it's like it was strong. It was a strong, intuitive hit. And so

00:10:42.510 --> 00:11:08.809 Candace McKim: then, and you know the outcome already. Right? And so then we're getting off the plane, and there's people behind us. And so when I got to their seat I paused and I looked and I looked one pocket, 2 pocket, 3 pocket. And I didn't see the string hanging out. And I thought, Okay, she must have it. I must be wrong. But I didn't step in because there's people behind us, right? And so we get off the plane. We get to the baggage claim. And I said, Did you get the camera, or do you have the camera? And she

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:11.059 Candace McKim: no, I left it on the plane.

00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:26.239 Candace McKim: And so we hustled, trying to find you know how we could get the camera back. And it was not happening. And so it was like, and I hate to throw my daughter under the bus, but to blame her. It wasn't her. It was me that I had this intuitive hit.

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:48.779 Candace McKim: But the thing is, is that what I don't always tell in this story is that I'd actually lost my camera twice before we went on that trip, and both times I got it back, and both times I had the intuitive hit. You're going to lose your camera. And then I got it back, and it was almost like the universe said, You're not listening to us. You're not listening to your intuition. You need to learn this lesson.

00:11:48.780 --> 00:12:01.559 Candace McKim: And so the other 2 times I got the camera back, and everything was fine, but then it was that time that no, we did not get the camera back at all, and I knew I knew it, and I and I

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:13.639 Candace McKim: I thought I did everything like I could have taken that step in, put my hand into each pocket, but I didn't do that, you know, and that's why my book is called Intuition is a choice, because sometimes we follow it, and sometimes we don't.

00:12:15.380 --> 00:12:19.769 Linda Marsanico: Can you say how you get the intuitive hunch? Does it come?

00:12:20.050 --> 00:12:26.450 Linda Marsanico: I get messages here, or in other ways. But how do you get yours?

00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:45.610 Candace McKim: Well, I don't believe there's any separation between body, mind, and spirit, right? And so we there's always a physical reaction when we get an intuitive hit. So when you're doing this like that's Crown Chakra. That's messages coming right in right. And so often when I'm teaching courses and workshops, I'm scratching the top of my head.

00:12:45.710 --> 00:13:09.559 Candace McKim: I'm also rubbing my 3rd eye, my end of my nose. I get like a frog in my throat when I have a message for somebody. And then there's the gut instinct that we all talk about, that we know about, and that is really really strong for a lot of us also goosebumps when we get goosebumps and chills cold down our back, all of these sensations remind us that we're getting intuitive hits

00:13:10.770 --> 00:13:18.840 Linda Marsanico: Thank you for sharing that. I think it's important for us to inspire our listeners, because these things can happen, and maybe we're not aware.

00:13:19.110 --> 00:13:20.470 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah, and and.

00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:23.510 Linda Marsanico: To be aware, is the beginning of the adventure.

00:13:24.770 --> 00:13:25.660 Candace McKim: Absolutely.

00:13:25.990 --> 00:13:29.799 Linda Marsanico: Now, pretty soon we're going to have a commercial break.

00:13:30.040 --> 00:13:54.029 Linda Marsanico: Now, when I was beginning my developing my website, I knew it was going to be a spiritual website, but I didn't know from what perspective it took me about 6 months. Finally, I decided, love and compassion. I'm going to approach this with love and compassion. Because if we're loving and compassionate, we're spiritual, whether we know it or not, because it takes a lot of work to get there

00:13:54.130 --> 00:13:55.539 Linda Marsanico: when we come back.

00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:02.890 Linda Marsanico: I want our listeners to know that I'm going to be asking you about how loving compassion shows up in your business work.

00:14:04.050 --> 00:14:04.690 Candace McKim: Okay.

00:14:04.690 --> 00:14:09.980 Linda Marsanico: So listeners stay tuned. We'll be back with this very informative conversation.

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:55.810 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone!

00:15:56.070 --> 00:16:04.920 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona broadcast. I'm Linda Marcannico with my guest, Candace Mckim. So Candace.

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:10.390 Linda Marsanico: how does love and compassion show up in your business and your relationship with your clients.

00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:40.759 Candace McKim: Well, it shows up all the time. As I said, when I had a yoga studio for 17 years, I always said I did business like a woman. I did business like a woman, and that's what that means. I do it with love. I do it with compassion, and I still do that just this last year, in one of my courses I had a client. She was in my my group coaching program on manifestation, and it was going really, really well for her, and then she called me up and had wanted to have a call with me.

00:16:41.020 --> 00:16:49.899 Candace McKim: and she had invested in a scam, and she was so upset and she was so disheartened and so

00:16:50.860 --> 00:17:14.139 Candace McKim: like. How did I get conned into this? And as a result she lost $10,000, and you know, just really, really devastated. And it and it was in a it was during my manifestation magic course. Right? And I'm like, so she still owe me 2 or 3 more payments, and she said, I just can't do it, and I have to drop out. And I said, You're not dropping out. I'll waive the last couple payments.

00:17:14.560 --> 00:17:39.399 Candace McKim: We're not going to worry about that. I want you to stay in the program. And so she was very, very thankful, very grateful. And in the program I offer bonus coaching calls, depending on what they needed. So I was offering these coaches and coaching calls, and she said, do I still get these? Because I'm not paying in full? And I'm like, Yes, you yes, I really want them to succeed. Right? And that's where my compassion comes in is that I

00:17:39.400 --> 00:18:02.830 Candace McKim: I sometimes want it more than they do, because I can see their potential. I can see how they can grow so much. And so, as a result, the last 3 months of the program, she was able to turn things around. She was able to make back the money. She started a new. She started new offers in her in her program, and they took off. And so if she hadn't stayed with the program.

00:18:02.830 --> 00:18:05.959 Candace McKim: chances are, she would have just felt so badly about herself.

00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:12.939 Candace McKim: so like, how did this happen to me? You know? How did I get conned and wouldn't have gotten to that place of

00:18:13.270 --> 00:18:24.319 Candace McKim: switching it around, making the money back and then taking off in their business. And so that's why I do. It is like, I just want to support them, support my clients. A 100%.

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:33.200 Linda Marsanico: I know the feeling of wanting it almost as more than a client. I've had that many, many times in my practice.

00:18:33.590 --> 00:18:34.110 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:37.169 Linda Marsanico: And what role does intuition play

00:18:37.750 --> 00:18:42.260 Linda Marsanico: in your role as an entrepreneur and decision making.

00:18:42.350 --> 00:18:58.399 Candace McKim: I think intuition plays a role in every entrepreneur's business like you can't tell me that the most successful people in the world are not following their intuition, because I know that they are right, like they know when to sell. They know when to buy. They know these things like even my own parents

00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:15.019 Candace McKim: like, I said they own their own business, and my dad wanted to keep the business a little bit longer, and my mom said, No, this is the time to sell. We have a buyer. Let's sell the business, and I think 6 months after after they sold their business and got top dollar. Then there was a financial crash, and so I feel like

00:19:15.020 --> 00:19:26.030 Candace McKim: intuition is is important for all of us in business, all of our businesses in life in general, you know. I've made some big decisions and big.

00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:34.389 Candace McKim: I made some big moves in my life, and a lot of times I've heard. What are you doing like? Why are you doing that? Why, what are you doing? And

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:44.629 Candace McKim: it's resistance that then we start to second guess ourselves, which I'm sure our audience is feeling that way that they get, they get intuitive hits, and then people aren't questioning them.

00:19:45.030 --> 00:20:02.480 Candace McKim: But what I've realized is that when people start questioning me. Then I know I'm following my intuition, and I'm not following what is expected, or what other people think would be best for me. It's like, oh, that's a signal to me that oh, I'm on the right track, because I'm following my intuitive guidance, and I can give you an example of that if you want.

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.900 Linda Marsanico: Please do. Yes.

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:17.589 Candace McKim: Okay. So I had a yoga studio, as I said, for 17 years, and I was getting I had. I was a part of an organization, and I raised $20,000 for victims of sex trafficking in India.

00:20:17.840 --> 00:20:37.990 Candace McKim: And so it was a collective. We raised a million dollars. So the people who had raised the 20,000. We were all going to go to India to see where the organizations where the money was going, and so I was prepared to go. I was getting all ready to go, and it was 6, 7 weeks before I was leaving to go, and I got the intuitive hit to let the studio go. Let my studio go.

00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:43.440 Candace McKim: and I 17 years community. I did workshops. I saw clients like

00:20:43.770 --> 00:20:57.980 Candace McKim: it was my life, and so I thought, No, I'm doing this, and so I phoned up my land. I phoned up my landlord, and I said, I'm giving you 6 weeks notice because I'm going to India. This is why this is what's happening. And she said.

00:20:58.100 --> 00:21:00.249 Candace McKim: Oh, I'll give you a free month's rent.

00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:27.439 Candace McKim: and I'd like to say that I followed my intuitive guidance so strongly that I said, Oh, okay, and then hung up the phone. Or I said or would say, No, I'm still going to do it, or whatever. Anyway, I didn't. I got off the phone and I had to sit with it. And this is where the intuition, the body, mind, spirit comes in is, I use this tool all the time, and it's a great tool for your audience to do it. So I had this decision to make. I'm at a crossroads, and I have 2 decisions to make. Either I keep the studio or I let the studio go.

00:21:27.750 --> 00:21:39.480 Candace McKim: and so I say it out loud, I said, I'm going to let the studio, or I'm going to keep the studio, and I said it out loud, and I got right in my gut. I got like I doubled over, and I heard No, no.

00:21:39.880 --> 00:22:01.929 Candace McKim: and then I said, I'm going to let the studio go, and it felt expansive, and I said I heard the word yes, and so, and like I said I would like to think that I just made that decision real quick and called her up and said, Nope, I'm going to stick to my plan, and I'm going to let the studio go. I didn't. I waited another couple of weeks, and then I ended up selling the studio.

00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:02.350 Linda Marsanico: No.

00:22:02.638 --> 00:22:03.790 Candace McKim: So that worked out.

00:22:03.790 --> 00:22:04.239 Candace McKim: Let's see

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:29.220 Candace McKim: better for me. Yeah. And so then, 2 days before I left to go to India, I handed over my keys, and but everybody was wondering like I I swear, for 7 years after I sold my studio people were still saying, Candace, I miss your classes so much I can't find another Yoga instructor. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. There are millions of Yoga instructors in the world, and you can't find another one.

00:22:29.310 --> 00:22:49.669 Candace McKim: And so, anyway. So I knew. And even my own husband said, What are you doing? You're only going to India for 6 weeks. You love teaching Yoga. I could teach workshops there. I saw clients there. I had a community, and I'm just like I don't know. I just have to do it. And the thing is is that the other thing to note of this is not no decision would have been wrong.

00:22:49.820 --> 00:23:04.899 Candace McKim: Yes, like, when we make these decisions. No decision is wrong. What would have happened? I would have stayed in my community, I would have, you know, continued to have a really successful Yoga studio and had community with that that area, or

00:23:05.320 --> 00:23:20.700 Candace McKim: I went to India. I did. I saw the organizations. I did a divine feminine spiritual pilgrimage. Afterwards I came home I went through a dark night of the soul for a couple months, and then I started pulling out a deck of oracle cards that I had been writing while I had my studio.

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:31.619 Candace McKim: and it opened up the time and space for me to to create my deck of oracle cards. Then I knew I had a book, so wrote my book, did a Tedx talk, and now have been

00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:50.279 Candace McKim: well, it's been 10 years, or almost 10 years. I've been traveling around, you know, North America speaking and teaching manifestation and intuition, so no decision would have been wrong. But what it's done is it's gotten it out to more people. It's it's allowed my messages to get more global.

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:56.109 Linda Marsanico: You took a leap. It takes a lot of courage to take a and with that leap

00:23:56.790 --> 00:23:59.470 Linda Marsanico: the possibilities are greater

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:05.629 Linda Marsanico: and you expanded. Would you tell our readers where they can get your wonderful oracle cards? Because

00:24:06.050 --> 00:24:07.689 Linda Marsanico: talking about that before, yeah.

00:24:07.690 --> 00:24:32.549 Candace McKim: Yeah. The oracle cards are Yogini's Guide to Intuition Oracle cards, and they're available on my website, candicemckim.com. And I'm going to spell it CAND, a, CEMC, kim.com, and I have the book. The book is in revision right now, so the book is very similar to the cards where it starts with an image, then the divinatory part, and then a chapter on how to Bring

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:40.779 Candace McKim: Spirituality and yoga and intuition into our everyday life. But the cards are still available on my website, candacemickim.com.

00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:45.310 Linda Marsanico: And when will the book be ready for people to.

00:24:45.310 --> 00:24:47.460 Candace McKim: Fall. I'm gonna say, fall.

00:24:47.890 --> 00:24:49.729 Linda Marsanico: So full of 25.

00:24:49.730 --> 00:24:54.949 Candace McKim: Yes, yes, it's just a revision. So it's not. I'm not redoing it. I'm gonna draw a card for everybody.

00:24:54.950 --> 00:24:56.150 Linda Marsanico: Oh! Lovely!

00:24:56.530 --> 00:25:02.020 Candace McKim: Arda Chandrasana, half Moon. So the words are perception and harmony.

00:25:02.150 --> 00:25:12.229 Candace McKim: and this card is for for all of our listeners. If you're in a challenge. If you're going through any struggle right now, if you're making a decision.

00:25:12.280 --> 00:25:41.919 Candace McKim: this card wants you to just look at it from a just a little bit different perspective. It's not like it's not flipping it up on its head. It's not, you know, going way out of the box. It's just a little bit of a shift, and sometimes and this is what coaches do right? This is what I do as a coach is. I help you get a little bit different perspective or perception on a situation. And what that does when you have that little bit different perspective is, it creates harmony.

00:25:41.970 --> 00:25:43.659 Candace McKim: It makes you feel better.

00:25:43.850 --> 00:25:55.770 Candace McKim: right? And so I'm encouraging all of all of the audience to just look at whatever's happening in your life. Whatever's causing you a bit of frustration or stress to just look at it in a little bit different way.

00:25:56.370 --> 00:26:00.190 Linda Marsanico: I think that's a very important strategy.

00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:06.086 Linda Marsanico: so that we can get out of the one way or no way, right one way or the highway.

00:26:06.340 --> 00:26:07.150 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:26:07.150 --> 00:26:17.049 Linda Marsanico: There are so many different perspectives. It is said, what are there 8 billion people on the planet that there are 8 billion different realities. So all the different perspectives. And

00:26:17.570 --> 00:26:32.339 Linda Marsanico: I always like to look at the highest possible perspective, which I think is the spiritual perspective. So I want to ask a question that I was lingering with that camera, and the 2 times that you found it the time that you didn't. What was the lesson?

00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:35.069 Linda Marsanico: Spirit was helping you to.

00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:41.439 Candace McKim: To listen to her, to listen to my intuitive hits, to listen to that guidance.

00:26:41.630 --> 00:26:59.099 Candace McKim: That because and that's why my book is called intuition is a choice, because sometimes we follow it and sometimes we don't. And I knew it like I knew it. And that's what I believe someone else might have a different perspective on what I what I was learning there, but that was my belief is that I need to listen to it.

00:26:59.590 --> 00:27:01.239 Candace McKim: Listen to that guidance.

00:27:01.850 --> 00:27:06.040 Linda Marsanico: So, therefore you didn't go back to the airline asking, Where is my camera?

00:27:06.040 --> 00:27:09.190 Candace McKim: Oh, we did. But you did. There was no yeah, we were

00:27:09.620 --> 00:27:14.689 Candace McKim: connector. Yeah, we had a connecting flight. And yeah, they don't let you back on the plane.

00:27:16.170 --> 00:27:25.820 Linda Marsanico: So I wondered whether it was to help you let go to learn to let go of something often when I think of when I moved about

00:27:25.990 --> 00:27:32.740 Linda Marsanico: 2 years ago. I had so many things I had to let go of, and some were hard to let go.

00:27:33.270 --> 00:27:33.800 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:27:33.800 --> 00:27:38.480 Linda Marsanico: But once I made the decision, which was agonizing.

00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:39.410 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:41.870 Linda Marsanico: It was a relief when I let go of it.

00:27:42.630 --> 00:27:45.649 Linda Marsanico: So for me there were many lessons in letting go.

00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:59.469 Candace McKim: Yes, and I've had that as well. So many lessons of the letting go just yeah, letting it happen. And yeah, that's a great, great way of looking at the camera situation, too, is like it was a way of letting go. And and and

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:07.599 Candace McKim: yeah, and I wasn't that upset about it like I wasn't really that upset about it, because I guess I knew it was going to happen.

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:09.159 Linda Marsanico: Yes, yes.

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:10.480 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah.

00:28:10.770 --> 00:28:11.470 Linda Marsanico: Yeah.

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.500 Linda Marsanico: And also when we pay attention to intuition.

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:18.610 Linda Marsanico: we learn to trust ourselves more.

00:28:18.850 --> 00:28:19.740 Candace McKim: Yes.

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:27.150 Linda Marsanico: This is coming. I'm hearing it. I'm feeling it. I'm going to pay attention to it. As you say, intuition is a choice.

00:28:27.430 --> 00:28:30.000 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:30.560 --> 00:28:53.639 Candace McKim: yeah, which leads into stepping. I believe our intuition is our soul speaking to us, and our soul wants us to go out of our comfort zone. Our soul wants us to go bigger. Our soul is what wants us to really go out and shine in the world. And so when we follow that intuitive guidance, then we start to live our purpose, and we start to manifest what it is that we want to come to us.

00:28:54.190 --> 00:29:06.739 Linda Marsanico: Our energy gets lighter and brighter, and then we attract similar energy. It's a wonderful process, sometimes uncomfortable. But if someone said recently, if you're comfortable. You're not growing.

00:29:07.130 --> 00:29:09.849 Candace McKim: Exactly. Exactly. Isn't that.

00:29:09.850 --> 00:29:10.299 Linda Marsanico: The truth.

00:29:10.300 --> 00:29:11.010 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:15.990 Linda Marsanico: We're getting ready for a break. And when we come back, listeners.

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:32.599 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to ask Candace to share a pivotal moment when your spiritual practice directly impacted your business success. And you did tell us the story of letting go of the Yoga studio. Is there another situation where you consider it to be pivotal?

00:29:32.830 --> 00:29:35.246 Candace McKim: Yes, lots, many many.

00:29:35.850 --> 00:29:40.909 Linda Marsanico: So that's what we'll be talking about. We're taking the break now. We'll be back soon.

00:31:27.250 --> 00:31:42.099 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona broadcast. I'm Linda Marcannico with my guest, Candace Mckim. So Candace, share a pivotal moment when your spiritual practice directly

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.819 Linda Marsanico: impacted business success, decision making, etc.

00:31:46.410 --> 00:32:06.010 Candace McKim: Well, I think the biggest one really was selling my Yoga studio, because it has just led me on another path. But I often get asked, how did you get? How did you apply to do a Tedx talk? How did that process work for you? And I said, Oh, I didn't apply. I didn't apply to do a Tedx talk.

00:32:06.090 --> 00:32:21.130 Candace McKim: and how that came about is, I was in the final stages of editing my book, and so my sister had the 1st hard copy copy, and I had my computer on my lap, and we sat in chairs side by side, and we went through and read my whole book to to make sure there wasn't any mistakes.

00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:28.549 Candace McKim: and as we're going through this, it was a whole weekend process. As we're going through this, she said to me, you should do a Ted talk on this subject.

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:57.829 Candace McKim: I started laughing like this, and I said, Yes, I should do a Ted talk on this subject. So I pulled up a document on my computer and wrote Ted Talk topics, and I wrote it down. And she did this 2 more times throughout the whole book. And so, and the book is long, like I have a big block, right? And so she like again it came, up she goes. You should do a Ted talk on this subject, and I'm like, Yes, I should, and wrote it down again, and the 3rd time close the document put the document away.

00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:03.159 Candace McKim: 5 months later I got an email asking if I'd be interested in doing a Tedx talk.

00:33:03.550 --> 00:33:09.779 Candace McKim: And I'm like, Yes, I would. And I said yes immediately.

00:33:10.340 --> 00:33:30.690 Candace McKim: and then never told anybody. I told my family, and I told my sister like I was scared beyond belief. Scariest thing I've ever done. And so then, because my book had just come out. And so they had. I had been written up in a newspaper, some newspapers, and so my book had come out, and so that's why they had asked me to do a Ted Talk. And so then I was on my book tour.

00:33:30.820 --> 00:33:38.899 Candace McKim: Then I'm in Montreal, Canada, and I'm teaching a workshop. And there's this woman there. And she said, So what's next for you with your book?

00:33:39.030 --> 00:33:40.440 Candace McKim: And I said.

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:52.839 Candace McKim: like your book tour. And I said, Well, I'm going. I have, you know, a few more locations. I went to New York, and I'm going to New Jersey and I had different places. I was going, and she said, No, but what are you? What else are you going to do? And I said, I'm doing a 10

00:33:53.510 --> 00:34:03.659 Candace McKim: like I whispered it to her, and she's like you are. Well, what's your team doing to get you ready for your Ted Talk? And I said, Team.

00:34:04.250 --> 00:34:31.760 Candace McKim: there's no team. It's just me just me. And she said, well, I work at Cornell University, and that's what I do is I help people prepare for Ted talks, and I'm like, Oh, my God, you're kidding! And so that night she took she had my book and my cards, and she took my folder of my workshop that I was teaching at this Yoga studio in Montreal, and she took it home with her, and she came back the next day for the second day of the class, and she said, You've got it. You've got it all. I'm going to help you.

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:38.080 Candace McKim: I'm gonna help you get prepared for your Ted talk. And I'm like, Oh, okay, awesome. So then I went to New York

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:49.829 Candace McKim: to do workshops and stuff, and we had a phone call, and she helped me lay out my Ted Talk, and then I had another call with her and get it all ready, and like you can't make this stuff up.

00:34:49.830 --> 00:34:50.369 Linda Marsanico: You just can't.

00:34:50.370 --> 00:35:01.669 Candace McKim: Not make these things up, that when you're following, when you're in that flow, things happen. Things just flow and flow and flow, and I love it. It's amazing.

00:35:01.670 --> 00:35:09.279 Linda Marsanico: It's very beautiful, you know, when you and your colleagues started. Clarity, confidence connection Summit.

00:35:09.550 --> 00:35:10.060 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:35:10.060 --> 00:35:15.690 Linda Marsanico: Was that a similar process? I know you met each other at an event, and that you you just.

00:35:16.150 --> 00:35:18.850 Linda Marsanico: We're attracted to each other, and and you.

00:35:18.850 --> 00:35:24.330 Candace McKim: No, no, that's not actually. That's no. What happened is, we were all in the same coaching program.

00:35:25.530 --> 00:35:52.869 Candace McKim: And this coaching program wanted us to do what they called a sprint, and it was a 6 week, or I'm not sure how long. I can't even remember 6 week injection to get money into your business, and I were like, I'm not doing that. That sounds like hustle energy, and I don't do hustle like been there done that I was a social worker. I don't do that. And so I said, what I'm going to do is I'm just gonna reach out to 6 people a week

00:35:53.230 --> 00:36:03.179 Candace McKim: and just have like coffee chats, 6 people a week just to connect. And I'm just going to throw it out there that I'd like to do a podcast and I'm just going to throw it out there that I'd like to do a summit.

00:36:03.580 --> 00:36:30.429 Candace McKim: And so the 1st person I talked to was Samanthawa, and we did. She said, oh, I'd like to do a summit together or summit as well, but I don't want to do it by myself. And I said, Yeah, me neither. And then I met Ranchelle and said the same thing, and so she said, Oh, I'd like to do a summit. I'll tell you by just by doing that connecting with people 6 people a week for these coffee chats within within.

00:36:30.630 --> 00:36:42.739 Candace McKim: I don't know. Within a very, very short time, like, I think it was 2 months I had started my year-long, podcast find your hell. Yes, was my show weekly show, and within 3 months we had our 1st summit.

00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:50.059 Candace McKim: and we collaborated together for 2 years, and over the 2 years we did 4 summits altogether.

00:36:50.490 --> 00:36:53.879 Candace McKim: and it was unreal. Yeah, so very much intuitively guided.

00:36:54.680 --> 00:36:56.059 Linda Marsanico: And that's how we met.

00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:57.509 Candace McKim: How we met, yeah.

00:36:57.510 --> 00:37:06.550 Linda Marsanico: Who interviewed me. Yeah. And we had a very strong connection just a a flow.

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:19.910 Linda Marsanico: And as I was mentioning to you people who listened to my interview when you were interviewing me, said you really had a lovely way of chatting with Candace, so it was lovely, and it was my 1st summit.

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:21.330 Candace McKim: Okay.

00:37:21.330 --> 00:37:23.940 Linda Marsanico: And I was thinking this morning that

00:37:25.180 --> 00:37:29.409 Linda Marsanico: I'm not talking about completion here, but the circle has come around.

00:37:29.630 --> 00:37:30.720 Candace McKim: It has.

00:37:30.720 --> 00:37:33.199 Linda Marsanico: And we'll have to see what's next for us.

00:37:33.490 --> 00:37:34.470 Candace McKim: Exactly.

00:37:34.470 --> 00:37:36.540 Linda Marsanico: And I think it's very exciting.

00:37:37.790 --> 00:37:44.830 Candace McKim: Yeah. Yeah. And I was excited to be a part of you, and your your book wasn't even out yet. Then.

00:37:44.830 --> 00:37:45.640 Linda Marsanico: Correct.

00:37:45.910 --> 00:37:47.819 Candace McKim: Yeah, it was just coming out. Yeah.

00:37:47.820 --> 00:38:05.220 Linda Marsanico: In fact, when you were interviewing me, we thought, Well, what should the title of the interview be? You said, choose your book, name the a train to Sedona. So it came that way. It was the similar thing when Sam Leibowitz, the founder and executive producer, and I were talking about what would the show be?

00:38:05.730 --> 00:38:16.480 Linda Marsanico: The a train to Sedona? Keep it simple and keep it the same. So it's been a very lovely ride, and I say that because I think of hopping on board the A. Train.

00:38:16.740 --> 00:38:24.540 Candace McKim: Absolutely absolutely, and that was one of my regrets that I didn't name my my Tedx talk intuition as a choice

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:33.080 Candace McKim: like I. That was where that came from, because I was like name it the same as your book, because I didn't name my Ted Talk the same as my book, and I wished I had of.

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:34.430 Candace McKim: It's.

00:38:34.430 --> 00:38:34.860 Linda Marsanico: Think so.

00:38:34.860 --> 00:38:41.160 Candace McKim: It's intuition helps you make choices or something like that. If they want. If anybody wants to watch it, they can.

00:38:41.160 --> 00:38:45.969 Linda Marsanico: I did watch it. Yeah, it's very informative. And might you do another Ted talk.

00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:53.856 Candace McKim: No, and I say that. And now we've dropped the seed.

00:38:54.741 --> 00:38:56.648 Linda Marsanico: I'll leave that to you.

00:38:57.030 --> 00:38:59.721 Candace McKim: We'll see what happens. But.

00:39:01.147 --> 00:39:10.289 Linda Marsanico: So my next question, Candace, is many people separate business from spirituality. How do you integrate the 2.

00:39:11.790 --> 00:39:35.719 Candace McKim: It's just come very, very natural to me, and it's actually taken me a while to teach how I do it. Right? So I teach manifestation. I teach intuition. So when the book came out I taught intuition, and it took me because I was just doing it. It took me a while to figure out how to help other people do it. And then I and I have had a manifestation program for a really really long time.

00:39:35.740 --> 00:40:00.819 Candace McKim: And it was actually just when I 1st started the very 1st summit when I was going through that period, and I thought and I kept getting the nudge all summer long. Bring back your manifestation, bring back your manifestation process, and I had it all set up. So we did the summit in September, and I was supposed. I had it all ready to launch at the beginning of November, and then my father passed away in October.

00:40:00.910 --> 00:40:10.690 Candace McKim: and so I just took a step back and then fast forward a year and a bit, and I'm teaching a retreat in Hawaii with Samantha

00:40:10.830 --> 00:40:26.799 Candace McKim: and at the Retreat everybody kept asking me about my manifestation process because I can manifest like this like things just like I. You know how I got a Tedx talk like that's how my life works is I can manifest really quickly. And so people were like, you know, would you?

00:40:26.850 --> 00:40:52.360 Candace McKim: You need to bring that back? And so then I said, Yeah, but I just don't like the name that I had before. And then through that through that retreat we came up with the name, Manifestation, Magic. And I tell you. I launched it as soon as we. So the retreat is in the end of January or February I launched it in March, and by July I ran it a few times by July I had doubled my income from the whole previous year

00:40:52.360 --> 00:41:03.859 Candace McKim: within 4 months, and it was because I had relaunched the manifestation, and it took me a while to figure out how to teach it. But I have it now, and it works really, really, effectively.

00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:06.309 Linda Marsanico: And when are you giving the next one.

00:41:06.790 --> 00:41:28.580 Candace McKim: Well, it's an ongoing process. So I have the manifestation magic. I have a manifestation magic mentorship. So that's for one on one. People who want like one on one coaching, I offer unlimited coaching in that program. I have a Vip day that I've launched this week that if anybody is interested in doing like just one day, and one of the things that

00:41:28.660 --> 00:41:55.049 Candace McKim: people are realizing my client. So I had a client she signed up for the last course I had, and before the course she was given a bonus coaching call, so she had a coaching call, and on the coaching call she didn't realize I do as much business coaching as I do. It's intuitive, it's manifestation. And it's business, because I've been in business for 30 plus years. I've taken a lot of business training. I know the strategies, but I've evolved them.

00:41:55.230 --> 00:41:59.860 Candace McKim: I've married them together with intuition and manifestation, and so

00:42:00.050 --> 00:42:22.080 Candace McKim: she even said that on the call afterwards, she said, I didn't realize there was going to be so much business coaching here. I thought it was more woo, woo, or more intuition, more connecting to spirit, alignment and stuff. And I said, Yeah, I brought it all together in this form of coaching, and from that coaching call and 3 weeks into the 5 week course she had manifested 42 K.

00:42:22.550 --> 00:42:31.080 Candace McKim: And she was blown away. She goes, Candace, I can't even believe this, she she, before the course. She didn't know how she was going to pay for the course.

00:42:31.120 --> 00:42:57.360 Candace McKim: and was worried about it. She didn't know how she was going to feed her kids, and she signed up for the course. And then she got an income tax refund that covered the cost of the course. So she said, oh, wow! Here I am already manifesting. And then she manifested that, and she has work like this just happened last a few weeks ago, and she has work for the next 5 or 6 months, like already booked out. And she's like, Oh, my gosh! Like she couldn't even believe it. I can't even believe it, you know.

00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.200 Linda Marsanico: What a testimonial! Really.

00:42:59.450 --> 00:43:00.040 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:43:00.040 --> 00:43:01.659 Linda Marsanico: Effectiveness of your work.

00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.329 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah, it's just yeah. It's just having that alignment getting into that flow.

00:43:07.830 --> 00:43:12.959 Linda Marsanico: So when is the enrollment for your next manifestation? Magic course.

00:43:13.870 --> 00:43:30.369 Candace McKim: So the manifestation magic course is ongoing. So it's happening right now. So people can DM, me, or message me or email me if they're interested in signing up, and then I have other courses that I in like. I throw out there every once in a while, like I,

00:43:30.520 --> 00:43:38.599 Candace McKim: you know, they just come to me, and then I'll throw them out like a 5 week course, and then I have the mentorship, which is the one on one, and then the vip days.

00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:40.829 Linda Marsanico: Let's see. Thank you. Thank you.

00:43:40.830 --> 00:43:43.755 Candace McKim: Whole, the whole client journey.

00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:45.790 Linda Marsanico: It's an important journey.

00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:46.650 Candace McKim: It is.

00:43:46.650 --> 00:43:53.220 Linda Marsanico: Mentorship and coaching fit in. Very, very well. Now we're getting ready for a commercial break

00:43:53.510 --> 00:43:55.440 Linda Marsanico: when we come back. Listeners.

00:43:55.730 --> 00:44:09.999 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to ask Candace about the power within, how someone can begin to access and trust that power, and you've talked a little bit about it. But we'll have a more concentrated response. So listeners stay tuned and come back.

00:45:48.180 --> 00:46:02.819 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona broadcast. I'm Linda Marcannico with my guest, Candace Mckim. So, Candace, let's talk about the power within, how someone can begin to access this and trust

00:46:02.980 --> 00:46:04.280 Linda Marsanico: that inner power.

00:46:05.950 --> 00:46:19.249 Candace McKim: I think the 1st thing is not disregarding the thoughts that pop into your head. I know I work a lot with limiting beliefs and clearing out limiting beliefs. And but if the thoughts make you feel good, like the difference between

00:46:19.570 --> 00:46:27.540 Candace McKim: making things up in your head and intuitive hits is how they make you feel. Your intuitive hits are always going to make you feel

00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:40.500 Candace McKim: good empowered, but maybe a little bit scared right, and that fear, though, is kind of like. There's a fine line between fear and excitement, you know, like the 1st time I was asked to speak on stage, I said, No.

00:46:41.180 --> 00:47:09.940 Candace McKim: I'm like, no, you know, that's why, when you said, Are you going to do another 10 x. And I'm like, No, because I it scares me a lot, and then so when she said, asked me to speak on stage, I said no, and then she said, Well, if you can't do it this time, I'll get you to do it. Our next meeting, I'm like, Okay, I'll do it right, just to, you know, to get it over and done with. But it led me on my path. And so your intuitive hits are going to take you out of your comfort zone. But on some level, you know you want to do it

00:47:10.150 --> 00:47:11.790 Candace McKim: right. And so

00:47:11.930 --> 00:47:20.210 Candace McKim: I think the 1st thing is is that they're going to make you feel a little bit scared. But they're going to make you feel excited, and they're going to make you feel good.

00:47:20.700 --> 00:47:35.009 Candace McKim: The ego makes you feel bad, like when you get negative self-talk. When you have the limiting beliefs come up. Those things make you feel bad. You're in a lower vibration, and you want to keep. There's nothing wrong with being in a lower vibration or a higher vibration.

00:47:35.030 --> 00:47:53.160 Candace McKim: There's no right or wrong right? There's lessons in both places. The only thing is that that though, is that when you're in a higher vibration. You're more connected to your creativity. You're more connected to source energy. You're more connected to your intuition. And so when you're in that higher vibration. That's when the intuitive hits are going to come. And

00:47:53.160 --> 00:48:10.279 Candace McKim: so the key is to know. Do I feel good, or do I feel bad, and how much I mean, we all go through that every single day. We all everybody feels bad on some parts of their day. And but how much time are you spending in the feeling bad? I've had people say as much as 1012 HA day that they feel in the in the lower vibration. They feel bad.

00:48:10.560 --> 00:48:22.559 Candace McKim: Then it's then, you know, it's like, if it's 8 h, 10 h, 12 h, then, you know, it's time to change jobs right there. You know, I had one client the entire time I'm at work, and so I guess the 1st thing is to really.

00:48:22.560 --> 00:48:45.080 Candace McKim: how do I feel? And then, if you're in the lower vibration, what can you do to shift it? And I'm not saying you have to change jobs, but change your perception around it. Do the things that make you feel good like I meditate every single morning every single morning, within the 1st 20 seconds of waking up, I meditate. I grab a meditation app. I throw it on, and I meditate.

00:48:45.080 --> 00:49:00.259 Candace McKim: I move my body. Well, the second thing I do is I splash cold water in my face, and I say 13. I am statements. I am strong, I am successful, I'm courageous, I am intuitive, I am loving, I am compassionate. All of the words.

00:49:00.260 --> 00:49:21.110 Candace McKim: Then I move my body, body, movement, body, before business is my mantra. So I move my body and exercise every single morning before I sit down at my computer. Sometimes I'll come and turn my computer off because it gets slow and sluggy. That's what I did today. And then I come back and get it going. But those are some of the things that I do every single day, having that having those practices.

00:49:21.940 --> 00:49:31.780 Linda Marsanico: And so that leads me into the next question, which is kind of related, what practices or daily rituals help you stay connected to love, compassion, and purpose as a leader.

00:49:32.230 --> 00:49:48.010 Candace McKim: Yeah. So it's self love. Right? It's really is about loving ourselves so that we can love others. And those are some of the things that I do is like, I said, and then what I'll do is, I often meditate again in the afternoon, that time of day where you're going for caffeine, or you're going for sugar.

00:49:48.020 --> 00:49:56.989 Candace McKim: And I started doing that when I 1st started doing that when I was going to university, because I would not have time to meditate in the morning, so I would meditate in the afternoon.

00:49:56.990 --> 00:50:20.049 Candace McKim: and then, when my kids were in school, I would meditate before I had to. I would pick them up for school and needed to drive them to all of their activities. I would meditate. So I. And then, when I had a Yoga studio because I would teach classes in the morning. I would see clients in the afternoon, and then I would teach classes in the evening, and I needed the energy to get through the evening. So, meditating. 3, 3, 34, o'clock is a great time to meditate.

00:50:20.060 --> 00:50:30.840 Candace McKim: and then, of course, using gratitude practices. One of the exercises I teach my students is to do to write out 6 impossible things before breakfast.

00:50:31.170 --> 00:50:36.989 Candace McKim: So the idea is you don't have to do the things before breakfast. But what are 6 impossible things

00:50:37.150 --> 00:50:58.740 Candace McKim: that you don't think could happen like a Tedx talk. You know those are types of things that we are. We always hear being speak, being on Oprah's couch. And so I write down. And I get my students. And it's really really powerful. The one who made the 42 k. In 3 weeks. That's 1 of the things she did is the 6 impossible things.

00:50:58.740 --> 00:50:59.150 Linda Marsanico: No.

00:50:59.150 --> 00:51:04.449 Candace McKim: And you write them down every single morning before your breakfast is. Write down 6 things that you think are impossible.

00:51:05.240 --> 00:51:07.090 Linda Marsanico: What a beautiful strategy!

00:51:07.250 --> 00:51:08.829 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah, it's fun, too.

00:51:08.830 --> 00:51:12.529 Linda Marsanico: Sensation absolutely. It's so funny that you should say that

00:51:13.180 --> 00:51:39.359 Linda Marsanico: because I developed a series of questions I wish to. I want to. And I was describing them at a seminar I was giving, and someone said, What is I wish to mean? I said. It's like 6. Impossible. It's like Alice in Wonderland, standing on the tea table and saying, I want to do 6 impossible things before breakfast. It's really quite a connection. It's fun. It's fantastical. It's fantasy. It's

00:51:40.240 --> 00:51:42.780 Linda Marsanico: infinitely possible. So.

00:51:42.780 --> 00:51:57.370 Candace McKim: So many women, especially women, don't dream big enough. We're playing small, and they're not dreaming big enough. And they that's what I want is for everybody to start dreaming, bigger, visualizing, more for themselves, manifesting more.

00:51:58.010 --> 00:51:59.459 Linda Marsanico: Because we're powerful.

00:51:59.820 --> 00:52:01.700 Candace McKim: Yes, yes.

00:52:02.100 --> 00:52:12.389 Linda Marsanico: And when I think of the Wonder Woman stance even with the original Linda Carter, and we have this new one, an Israeli actress who has

00:52:12.730 --> 00:52:14.829 Linda Marsanico: wristbands where she

00:52:15.040 --> 00:52:22.800 Linda Marsanico: protects herself from bullets on her wristbands. So we need to be big. We need to realize we're big.

00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:26.779 Linda Marsanico: because when we are aware of that. The attitude shifts.

00:52:27.210 --> 00:52:27.600 Candace McKim: Yes.

00:52:27.600 --> 00:52:36.360 Linda Marsanico: 6 impossible things before breakfast is just a wonderful way of describing that in a funny theatrical way.

00:52:36.630 --> 00:52:39.570 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah. And it gets our imagination going. And.

00:52:39.570 --> 00:52:40.000 Linda Marsanico: It's like.

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:48.669 Candace McKim: You know, and we can laugh about it like my sister when she said you should do a Ted talk on this, and I'm like. Yes, I should like. I thought it was hilarious right

00:52:49.450 --> 00:52:52.408 Candace McKim: never thought it would happen.

00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:56.129 Linda Marsanico: Followed the practice very well, though.

00:52:56.640 --> 00:53:06.820 Linda Marsanico: you know you put it down on your computer. And you stated you didn't say No, I'm not going to do it, you said. Oh, I'm gonna do a Ted talk.

00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:26.939 Linda Marsanico: and you laughed. Now, Kwon Yin, the Buddhist Mother of Mercy and Compassion, is channeled by a friend of mine, Laura Lizak, and through Laura Quan Yin says, Dance have fun, create energy through your movements. That's the most wonderful way to create positive energy by being joyful.

00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:32.700 Linda Marsanico: Yes, yes, hop into them, and that's the kind of energy we want to send out to everyone.

00:53:32.940 --> 00:53:38.320 Candace McKim: Yeah, and I might. Another one of my mantras is, if it isn't fun, don't do it. If it isn't fun, don't do it.

00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:47.840 Candace McKim: And I've had people say to me, well, that's not really reality, is it? And I'm like, well, it's my reality. I make it fun. The things that I don't want to do. I make it fun for me.

00:53:48.300 --> 00:53:49.090 Candace McKim: Yes.

00:53:49.090 --> 00:53:49.490 Linda Marsanico: Yeah.

00:53:50.620 --> 00:53:51.260 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:53:51.260 --> 00:53:55.870 Linda Marsanico: And with fun and laughter. The endorphins in our brain are kicked in.

00:53:55.870 --> 00:53:56.470 Candace McKim: Yeah.

00:53:56.470 --> 00:53:59.230 Linda Marsanico: It's a fun way. Sometimes I dance around the living room.

00:53:59.340 --> 00:54:03.063 Candace McKim: I need to do that more. I'll have to do that. After breakfast.

00:54:04.180 --> 00:54:06.509 Linda Marsanico: My 6 impossible things. Yeah.

00:54:06.510 --> 00:54:13.300 Candace McKim: Yeah, yeah. Or that's before the 6 of possible things that it'll really get the vibration high. And yeah, yeah.

00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:19.360 Linda Marsanico: Yeah, we have a few minutes, and I just want to ask you quickly.

00:54:19.650 --> 00:54:25.190 Linda Marsanico: what would you say to someone who wants to lead with more heart, but fears it won't translate into profit.

00:54:27.090 --> 00:54:45.719 Candace McKim: Oh, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust yourself, trust, faith, trust your higher spirit, like the spirit of your own understanding, just trust and just lead with your heart, because that's never a mistake to lead with your heart. It is never a mistake to lead with your heart and to just

00:54:46.020 --> 00:55:03.050 Candace McKim: yeah, one step at a time, one step at a time, and to lead with compassion, you know, like I said, it was really unpopular for me at that time to, you know, 30 or 25 years ago to I said, I run my business like a woman. I run my business like a woman. Which means that if

00:55:03.160 --> 00:55:23.430 Candace McKim: something happens I'm still there for you. I'm still there for you, and it's it's more about. I want to see their growth. I'm not going to say it's not about the money, because the money is awesome, and I, you know. But I can do more with the money right? Like as I attract because it's energy. Money is just energy as well. So yeah, there's profit there for sure.

00:55:24.180 --> 00:55:26.559 Linda Marsanico: Candice. Thank you so much for being on the show.

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:27.910 Candace McKim: Thank you.

00:55:51.120 --> 00:56:07.389 Linda Marsanico: And I want to say, listeners, that next week I have a guest, Anne Mordafi, who is a singer, a spiritual, very spiritual woman, who is an author, and she has membership in the order of Canada. So stay tuned next Wednesday, Candace.
