When It’s Too Heavy to Hold Anymore: Candace’s brave reckoning with grief, guilt, and the fear of letting go. | Simply…Woman Podcast | Crystal Andrus Morissette 🌸

There’s a moment when your body speaks louder than your thoughts.
When your shoulder tightens.
When your jaw clenches.
When your soul whispers: This isn’t just pain. This is buried grief.

In this raw, unfiltered session, Candace takes the Love Seat—carrying decades of unspoken sorrow, self-doubt, and a mother wound still tender to the touch. She doesn’t have a breakthrough. She has something even more sacred: a beginning.

This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s done the work…
 but still carries the weight.
 Still feels invisible.
 Still wonders if she’s allowed to receive love.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn: 

• What it’s like to start healing when the wound still feels fresh
• How the body holds on to grief—especially when the heart feels unsafe
• A guided visualization to meet the part of you that’s still afraid
• The presence of a grandmother’s love when it’s needed most
• The importance of staying with the heaviness, without rushing to “fix it”

This isn’t resolution.
This is truth-telling.
And it’s exactly where the healing happens.

🎧 Sit with Candace. You’ll feel less alone.
