Providing Safe Spaces for Young People to Process Their Feelings Without Judgment
Let’s be real: discovering and owning our authentic selves are no walk in the park. It’s a wild ride full of doubts, struggles, and pressure to fit in. But as I listened to my amazing guest, Chelsey Goodan drop some serious wisdom in her chat with me, I realized that staying true to myself and facing my demons head-on is the only way to healing and happiness.
We discussed about feeling unworthy because we didn’t have a supportive dad in our corner. That father wound cuts deep! It can mess with your confidence and ability to trust your gut. But Chelsey schooled me on how embracing what makes me unique, chasing my passions, and surrounding myself with good vibes can help me heal.
Chelsey’s truth bomb about living authentically instead of twisting ourselves into a pretzel to please others was a wake-up call. As a woman, I often feel like I have to put on a happy face and keep my real thoughts on mute. But when we find the guts to stand tall in our truths, we give others the green light to do the same.
Chelsey’s journey is proof that magic happens when we surrender to our calling. By trusting her instincts and staying true to her mission of lifting others up, she manifested some seriously cool opportunities. Her story shows me that being real is the secret sauce to success and making a difference.
I felt our conversation about holding space for young girls’ feelings without judgment in my soul. By validating their experiences and encouraging them to let it all out, we can give them the power to trust themselves and find their inner badass.
The real talk about how supportive parents can help us develop healthy self-worth was powerful stuff. Not everyone is blessed with amazing parents, but Chelsey’s story proves that just one ride-or-die person can change everything. We can step up and be that someone for the young people in our lives.
My mad respect for Chelsey’s realness, vulnerability, and powerful presence was contagious. Chelsey’s dedication to showing up authentically 24/7 is straight-up inspiring. She reminds me that my true strength comes from embracing every part of who I am.
When we started dishing about the life-altering magic of shadow work, I felt called to take a deep dive into my own healing journey. Facing my deepest scars and roadblocks is scary AF, but it’s the only path to freedom. Chelsey’s words about staying humble and letting go of control spoke to my soul.
By the end of this heart-to-heart, I was buzzing with fresh hope and motivation. Our shared passion for spreading light and good vibes is the ultimate pick-me-up. It is a strong reminder that no matter what we’re going through, we all deserve love, healing, and joy.
If you’re feeling lost or crushed by the weight of trying to fit in, I hope Chelsey’s story inspires you to let your uniqueness shine! Trust that your one-of-a-kind journey is unfolding exactly as it should. Find the courage to speak your truth, knowing that your authenticity is your superpower. Most importantly, remember that you’re never alone. We’re all in this together, lifting each other up along the way.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on living authentically, healing from past wounds, and embracing all of life’s ups and downs. So get ready to laugh, cry, and have your perspective shifted in all the best ways.

Meet the Host
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.”
