We are now deep in the throes of Summer 2023 and that means I’m taking my foot off the gas and am trying to relax a little. While I’m spending some travelling and visiting family, please enjoy this encore presentation of one of my most popular episodes…
Host Sherrilynne Starkie welcomes radio and TV personality Candace Sampson to the 50 Women Over 50 podcast.
Candace entered her fifties as she was going through a divorce of epic proportion which left her living in rented accommodation with her two teenage daughters and feeling she had very little autonomy over her own life. She felt sad and angry. And yet, she has come through it all feeling quietly confident. She’s found an inner calmness and happiness and she knows that she’s prepared for whatever life might throw at her.
“I’m enjoying this time of life. It's quiet. It's peaceful. I don't need a lot right now,” explains Candace. “I'm really happy. I've come through a lot, and I feel prepared for whatever life might throw at me down the road.”
In this interview, Candace explains how the four-year divorce ordeal actually turned out to be a bit of a blessing as a journey of self discovery and personal growth. She’s loving her life these days and has nothing but optimism for her future.
