What if the life you’ve been dreaming of living has been hiding behind the sneaky, limiting thoughts that you somehow need to ‘DO MORE’ to make that life happen? 

What if force, effort and striving wasn’t required? What if rest, peace and chilling the f*ck out are what ultimately bring you closer to your desires? 

In this episode of the Wild Free Well Podcast, I take you on a personal journey with me as I move through a very real human experience of pressure, stress and striving and a real-time shift to peace and understanding. 

In this episode, we cover:

✧ Why everything you create from frantic, frenetic energy carries exactly that energy

✧ The boulder metaphor — and why pushing harder just makes the obstacle bigger

✧ Why rest is a God-given right, not a productivity hack

✧ The real reason you're not doing the thing — and why being honest about it changes everything

✧ How to reverse engineer the feeling of completion to unlock the energy you need right now

✧ Why the results you want are hiding on the other side of peace, not force

✧ Surrender, faith, and what happens when you finally unclench your fists

Here’s what I want you to take away from this episode: The results that you’re looking for aren’t on the other side of force – they’re on the other side of a deep, innate inner peace that can only come from truly letting go. 

Rest is a superpower — even if we’re quick to forget it. It’s so much easier to believe that we need to push our way through life to make things happen, when in reality it’s really about loving and caring for ourselves through the process like the delicate, vulnerable and deeply lovable humans that we are. 

So can we all just calm the f*ck down for a second? 💕

🌿 If you're ready to stop forcing and start flowing — in your life, your mindset, your business — this is exactly the work I do with my 1:1 coaching clients. We go deep on identity work, energy work, acceptance and  strategy. And yes, it's a game changer! www.candicealessia.com/coaching

No matter what you're working towards right now — your health, your business, a relationship, a move, a dream you've been carrying for years — here's the truth: permission is not coming. Not from your partner, your family or friends. Definitely not from society. Not even, necessarily, in the way you might be expecting, from your higher power.

The only person who can give you the permission you’re seeking is you.

In this episode, we're getting honest about the very human habit of outsourcing our power — waiting for someone, anyone, to confirm that we're ready, that it's time or that we're finally allowed to go after what we want. In the Wild Free Well world, we're talking about what it actually looks like to stop waiting and start deciding instead. 

If you’re ready to take back your power, jump right in! 

In this episode, we explore:

✧ Why permission for your dreams will never come from the outside and why that's actually freeing

✧ The trifecta of validation we seek (and why none of it can replace believing in yourself)

✧ How endlessly consuming content can become a sneaky way of avoiding action 

✧ Why my own clients rarely "finish" my coaching method — and why that's actually a good thing! 

✧ The mindset shift that changes everything 

✧ How to give yourself permission to follow your intuition, trust your journey, and move forward without anyone's stamp of approval 

TIMESTAMPS: 

[00:00] Intro + the truth we need to hear: permission isn't coming

[01:14] Why I almost let external circumstances knock me off my own path — and the moment I realized I'd given that power away

[02:56] The trifecta we seek validation from: friends and family, society and social media, and our higher power

[04:38] Why even seeking permission from a higher power requires you to actually open the dialogue and ask

[06:35] The real cost of outsourcing your power — and why even 8 billion people cheering for you will never replace believing in yourself

[09:15] Really getting into the juice of it all — YOU get to decide, so decide. 

[10:15] How endlessly consuming courses, programmes and self-help content can quietly become a way of avoiding the real work

[12:50] Why I share that almost none of my own clients "finish" my coaching method — and why that's exactly the point

[14:44] Giving yourself permission to decide you've gotten what you needed — and to trust your own sense of completion

[16:58] Closing thoughts: deciding every step is the right step, and alchemising even the hard moments into growth

You already have everything you need to decide. The only thing missing is the decision itself.

🌿 If you're ready to stop waiting and start moving towards what you actually want, this is exactly the work I do with my coaching clients — getting clear on your vibes and values, building your vision, doing the identity and embodiment work that takes you from where you are to who you're becoming. I'd love to connect.

Here’s the honest truth: 

There is an area of your life where you know that you need to do something. There’s a niggle, a thought in the back of your mind, a little nudge telling you to just do that one thing. And if you just did that one thing, your whole life would be different. 

And that’s what today’s episode of the Wild Free Well podcast is all about. 

We’re diving straight into the question: What are you not doing that you know you need to do?

Because it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are in your life, you’ve absolutely got an area of your life where you know better, but maybe you aren’t doing better just yet. 

This is the episode that will help you get there! 

In this episode, we dive into: 

✧ The one question that cuts through every excuse and gets you back to your truth 

✧ Why "I don't know" is almost always a story — and what's really underneath it 

✧ How avoiding your own inner knowing quietly drains your confidence over time 

✧ A personal story: two and a half months of ignoring an intuitive hit — and what it cost me

✧ How to tell the difference between real world obstacles and limiting beliefs in disguise 

✧ Why showing up for what you need — even in small ways — builds unshakeable self-trust 

✧ The reframe that unlocks everything and gets you moving forward NOW.

You have everything you need to take the next step. You always have. This episode is just here to remind you of that.

You want to feel good. You want to be moving forward. You want to be there — but right now, you're here. And here doesn't feel great.

This episode is permission to stop fighting that.

In this honest, real, deeply human conversation, we explore what actually happens when you're struggling — and why surrendering to where you are is far more powerful than pushing, forcing or pretending your way through it.

In this episode, we cover: 

✧ What The Quicksand Effect is and how it’s holding you back 

✧ How to surrender control without giving up on where you're going 

✧ What self-responsibility actually looks like when things get tough 

✧ Why tending to yourself with extra love during hard moments is the foundation of everything 

✧ The Google Maps Principle and how it’s a permission slip to be right where you are  

✧ Why there's no arrival point — and why building a stable baseline is the real goal 

✧ How holding space for all of it — the good, the hard, the messy — is what gets you to the high vibe you're after

The bottom line: you are totally okay in this moment, even if everything feels decidedly not okay. You are safe. You are more than good enough. And YOU WILL get to the other side of this (even if it feels like it’s a million miles away right now, I promise).

This episode was a hard one to record and an even harder one to share.

It is a real-time processing of what I’m going through right now. 

I'm coming to you after one of the hardest months I've had in a long time. Something significant happened in my personal life — something I'm not able to share the full details of because other people are involved. But what I can share is this: I got knocked completely on my ass. My confidence was shaken. All the progress I felt like I'd made seemed to evaporate overnight. And for a while, I really didn't handle it well.

I'm sharing this because I think we need to have an honest conversation about what personal growth actually looks like — outside of the highlight reel version, the quantum leap and the "I've figured it all out" energy. The real version where sometimes, even when you're doing all the work, life still shows up and floors you.

In this episode, I share:

✧ What happened, as much as I'm able to share — and why I felt it was important to show up and say it out loud

✧ Why anger is a mask for something deeper and what happens when we stay on the surface instead of going underneath

✧ Why being in the mess is actually the only way through it

✧ The tools I've been using to move through this and why even doing all of the things doesn't mean you'll be "over it" on any particular timeline

✧ Why forcing yourself to move on never works and why that's also just a natural part of being human

✧ The dangerous myth that personal growth means never falling down PLUS why we need to de-expert the experts and take everyone off pedestals

✧ Why shame around struggling is one of the most isolating forces in the wellness space and the Wild Free Well way to dismantle it

✧ The one thing that will carry you through every hard season

Timestamps:

[00:00] – Introduction & vulnerability warning (starting before I'm ready) 

[02:06] – What happened: a difficult personal situation, knocked off course 

[03:52] – The "woe is me" phase — normalizing the lived human experience  

[05:29] – The importance of actually feeling your emotions, not bypassing them 

[08:28] – Anger as a mask for grief, disappointment + loss 

[09:45] – Why grief is harder than anger — and why we avoid it 

[12:12] – Removing shame from being human / de-pedestalling coaches, experts and other humans  

[17:42] – The problem with curated online lives + the perfection myth 

[25:25] – What tools I used to move through it 

[27:00] – Forgiveness: an honest update

[29:10] – Leaning into grace and self-compassion  

[30:30] – The takeaway: normalize the mess, love yourself through it 

This episode is raw and real and everything I’ve ever hoped the podcast would be. It's not polished or refined. It’s not shiny and sparkly. And it might be exactly what you need to hear today.

Because here's what I know for sure: you are always doing the best you can with what you have. Even in the worst moments. Even when it doesn't feel like it. And the fact that you're here, on this path, doing this work — means that you’re brave enough to face the ups and downs of life with grace and self-compassion. 

→ This is the kind of work I do with my coaching clients — not just the high vibe manifestation stuff, but the real, deep, identity-level work. Together we navigate the hard seasons and come back stronger + more empowered.

What if getting healthy felt like the easiest thing in the world? 

What if you didn't have to white-knuckle your way to some arbitrary version of "healthy" that someone else decided was right for you?

In this episode of the Wild Free Well Podcast — recorded post-run, fresh-faced and full of energy — we're having an honest, no-BS health conversation about health + wellness (as if there was any other kind of conversation in this part of the internet!). Yes, I’ll be sharing my top tips, but what you’ll actually learn is how to create your own rules and cultivate a healthy lifestyle that puts you at the centre. 

We cover the practical stuff, but we don't stop there! Because the real game changer isn't what you're doing. It's what you believe about what you're doing.

In this episode, we explore:

✧ Why sleep resets everything — including your vibe! — and how it impacts your mindset work

✧ The hydration and mental clarity connection that isn’t talked about enough 

✧ Why finding movement you genuinely love is a game changer 

✧ The truth about food and nourishment and some common healthy ‘myths’ 

✧ The impact of your breath on your health 

✧ How deep self-belief impacts every aspect of this conversation 

This episode is a permission slip to do health your way — with joy, with ease and with the deep knowing that what you believe about your body and your journey is always going to matter more than what anyone else tells you to do.

→ Want to do this work with support? This is exactly the kind of mindset and lifestyle work I do with my 1:1 coaching clients. If you're ready to feel genuinely well — in your body, mind and energy — I'd love to connect. Links below.

Growth is the name of the personal-development game. But what no one really prepares you for is the necessary RELEASING that is a natural part of your journey.

We talk about expansion, about stepping into your next level, about becoming — but we don't always talk about what you have to let go of to get there. The friendships that were quietly draining you. The situations you were never meant to stay in. The version of yourself who kept tolerating things you deserved to walk away from.

In this episode, I'm getting personal about my own journey of letting go — and what became possible on the other side.

💌 Want support doing this work? 1:1 coaching and intimate group spaces are open. This is exactly what we do together. I'd love to have you. Find all the links below.

This episode covers: 

✧ Why releasing misaligned relationships is one of the most powerful things you can do for your growth  

✧ How to stop moving out of obligation — and get really fucking clear on what’s genuinely aligned 

✧ The pattern of shrinking yourself to make others comfortable — and how to finally stop 

✧ How to invite others to rise up and meet you (instead of sinking to their level) 

✧ Releasing outdated versions of yourself — the stories, the beliefs and the identity that kept you stuck 

✧ What it looks like to truly stop accepting less than you deserve — in relationships, in situations, in life

Let's be totally honest for a moment, shall we? How much time do you spend talking about doing things versus actually doing them?

This episode is your permission slip to stop future tripping and start taking aligned action TODAY.

In this episode, we'll explore: 

✧ Why "thinking about the future" keeps you stuck in inaction (and what to do instead)

✧ The stories you're telling yourself about why you can't have what you want — and how to rewrite them

✧ How to focus on the 1% that moves you forward

[25:45] The secret sauce that makes this whole process easier! 

[33:10] Doing it all and doing it well — enjoying the entire process

I WANT TO KNOW:

You’re expanding. You’re doing the work. You’re calling things in. ✨ So why does it sometimes feel like they arrive… and then disappear?

In this episode, we take last week’s conversation about expansion deeper and bring it into the body, the identity and the lived experience of manifestation. This isn’t about “thinking positively” or forcing yourself to feel regulated. It’s about building the capacity to hold what you want without unconsciously pushing it away. 

This episode is for you if part of you still doesn’t believe you get to keep the life you desire.

In this episode, we’ll explore: 

✧ Why your desires aren’t too big for you — but your system might not be ready to hold them yet

✧ The difference between pushing manifestations away and unconsciously leaking them

✧ How identity work affects your goals, abundance and long-term manifestations

✧ Why calming your body is more powerful than forcing positive thinking

✧ How to create physical and emotional capacity for the life you’re calling in

✧ What it actually means to feel safe holding success, money and expansion

✧ How to get comfortable with discomfort while integrating a new identity

✧ Grounded manifestation practices that go beyond visualization and mindset hacks

Timestamps:

00:00 Intro 

01:19 The step after expansion 

03:18 Creating physical space for your desires  

09:38 The key to creating space for your desires within the body

05:48 Expanding your mind + aura to invite in the new energy

12:10 Final thoughts 

✨ If this episode resonated, leave a comment, rate the podcast and share it with someone who’s ready to stop pushing away their desires and start holding them.

In this episode, we'll talk about holding the energy of what’s coming (instead of pushing it away!). If you’ve ever felt excitement around a dream only to shrink, self-sabotage or pull back, this conversation will support you in creating the inner space to receive. What you want is not bigger than you – IT IS MADE FOR YOU. You have the capacity to hold it, live it and embody it and this episode of the podcast will show you how to do just that! 

What you’ll learn:

✧ Why excitement can sometimes trigger contraction

✧ How to expand your energetic capacity

✧ What it means to truly receive + how to step into it

✧ Why desire is a sign of readiness

✧ How to visualize yourself living what you want

Timestamps:

00:00 Intro 

01:24 A little backstory into this episode 

02:49 What actually happens after a quantum leap

15:38 Friendly reminder: you’ve got this!  

17:21 How to actually expand your aura + mindset  

20:45 Allowing yourself to shift 

22:57 Final thoughts  

SO TELL ME: 

→ What are you calling in right now?

→ Where do you need to EXPAND + OPEN YOURSELF to receive more?

→ What would it feel like to fully let this land?
