What happens when two women in midlife stop pretending they have it all figured out and just tell the truth?

In this episode, Gen sits down with holistic nutritionist and kinesiologist Candace Swanson for a tarot-led conversation that opens into something deeper. They talk business expansion, parenting later in life, health wake-up calls, emotional boundaries, addiction, intuition, and what it means to protect your peace without apologizing for it.

It’s honest, funny, grounded, and full of those little moments that make you feel less alone. This one is about self-awareness, healing, and learning how to care less about the noise and more about what actually matters.
