How Embracing My True Self Freed Me from People’s Opinions
Are you ready to tackle a question I get asked all the time: “Candace, how did you stop caring what people think about you?” Grab a cozy spot and let’s chat!
I’ve been coaching for over 11 years now, and I’ve worked with people from every walk of life. What have I learned? At our core, we’re all the same. Everyone has feelings, everyone has insecurities. The game-changer for me was connecting with my true self and making choices that felt right for me. Once I did that, I stopped giving a rat’s ass about what others thought.
Here’s the truth: being authentic means living true to who you are, without judgment. It means setting boundaries, knowing your likes and dislikes, and loving yourself – flaws and all. When you stop judging yourself and start accepting your imperfections, you create space for others to do the same. And suddenly, other people’s opinions don’t hold the same weight.
So here’s my challenge for you: start embracing self-acceptance. If there’s something you want to improve, go ahead, but do it for you. When you love yourself genuinely, the opinions of others lose their hold on you.
Want to dive deeper? Catch the full episode above where I break down my journey to self-acceptance and how you can free yourself from caring about others’ opinions. Swing by Instagram @candacevandell and say hi. I love hearing from you guys!
Let’s kick societal expectations to the curb and live unapologetically. You’ve got this!

Candace Van Dell
As a Spiritual Coach & New Thought Leader, Candace focuses on a soul-centered approach to healing. It is her belief that many of our negative “symptoms” are signs that we are out of alignment with our true selves. We have been conditioned to align with external authorities, societal ideals, out of date learning styles and perfectionistic standards.
We can’t experience or maintain true health unless we are true to ourselves. To clear unwanted symptoms, we must get back into alignment with what we FEEL.
“We are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
