What happens when life completely rewrites the story you thought you were living?

In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I sit down with Candice Suarez, life drafting and transition coach and stage four tongue cancer survivor, to talk about navigating the plot twists we never saw coming and deciding what comes next.

After having more than half of her tongue removed and reconstructed, Candice had to relearn something that had always come naturally to her: using her voice. Since then, life has brought even more transitions, from becoming an empty nester to separating from her husband of nearly 30 years.
Through it all, Candice has learned to think of life as a draft, something we're allowed to edit, revise, and rewrite as we change.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Rebuilding your life when everything changes
• Why you're allowed to change your mind
• Letting go of the idea of a “final draft”
• Finding yourself in the messy middle of a transition
• The difference between optimism and toxic positivity
• Why resilience isn't about returning to who you were
• Taking the pen back when you've let others write your story
• Creating a new normal instead of fighting for the old one

Whether you're facing a major transition or simply realizing this isn't working for me anymore, Candice offers a powerful reminder: your story is still being written.
