The Platinum Triangle

In this episode, I share what it looks like when yoga stops being something you practice and starts becoming a framework for how you live. If you’ve been practicing for years and can feel that there is more available, this one is for you.

On the anniversary of graduating my first 200-hour yoga teacher training cohort, I share a personal reflection on what it means to teach from integrity rather than urgency. This episode explores the quieter layers of leadership, trust, and why the way we learn matters just as much as what we learn. If this conversation resonates, I’d love for you to follow the podcast and leave a rating or review....

this is a short one. And it has POWER. I casually drop big for 2026 and share what do on when like to stay in bed with the covers over my head, but am healthy otherwise💛

This episode comes to you from one of my favorite fall-and-spring spots: my living room sofa. It’s a little tender, a little messy. I share the ghosts my current remodel project has stirred up and the unexpected healing it’s bringing.

It’s 9/9, eclipse season is here, and yes… full moon behavior is  absolutely  real (ask 16-year-old me serving truckers on the overnight shift 🙃). In this episode, I share one of my favorite diner stories, what last week’s Pisces full moon stirred up, and why this season is the perfect time to release old patterns, retire the smaller versions of ourselves, and step into something new. I also talk...

Yoga meets us in real life in unexpected ways. Some things unfold exactly as planned. Others bring surprises—both in the studio and out—small moments that end up holding the biggest lessons. In this episode, I’m sharing stories on and off the mat that remind me why the way we practice matters as much as the practice itself… and maybe even is the practice itself. I’d love for you to join me on Inst...

You prayed for this. You worked for it. And now you’re tired. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when the life you asked for starts to feel like too much. When the blessings you once dreamed of begin to feel a little heavy. When even the good things ask more of you than you expected. I share a bit about where I am right now—what’s growing, what’s beautiful, and what’s quietly exhausti...

You know that feeling when your heart whispers something… and your mind instantly floods you with reasons not to listen? Yeah. I know it well, too. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to stop waiting for the “perfect” sign and start trusting the quiet knowing already inside us. I’m sharing a story from my first day home, some thoughts on resistance (disguised as logic), and the sacred...

As you listen, I’m somewhere in the Canadian Rockies—mid-initiation, mid-becoming. I recorded this episode just before leaving, holding space for what’s unfolding in my own life and in the seasons ahead. Inside, I share reflections on what it means to step into a new version of yourself… how retreat carves space for remembering… and why I believe your life—yes, yours—is its own sacred curriculum....

In this episode, I share what Reiki truly is—beyond the fluff, beyond the misconceptions—and why it continues to support real people in real ways.

Whether you're Reiki-curious, a longtime practitioner, or gently skeptical, I hope this episode brings clarity, g...

This episode isn’t polished. It’s real. It’s what I’m sitting with right now, and what I’ve learned about taking the next right step even when I can’t see the whole path. I’m on the edge of a new season—one that feels big, beautiful, and kind of wild. I’m getting ready to step into a new training, and with it… a new version of myself. If you’ve been feeling stretched, stirred, or just a little “wh...

Originally recorded inside the  Aligned  container, this ritual was shared for the Full Buck Moon in Capricorn. While it’s deeply aligned with full moon energy, it’s a timeless practice—perfect anytime you feel ready to release what’s no longer serving and realign with what matters. In this guided ritual, you’ll work with the element of water to: Let go of stuck emotions or outdated stories Bless...

I’m back after a beautiful stretch of time—Luminous, reflection, deep rest—and today’s episode is a story-driven one. I’m sharing what unfolded at the retreat, what leadership is teaching me, and how this season feels like a rite of passage.

I’m reflecting on recent events in Minnesota, questioning the path, and recommitting to the deep, steady work of love, nervous system care, and dissolving the illusion of “us and them.” I’m also sharing details about our donation-based Solstice class in Austin (part of the Yoga 4 Palestine initiative), and what’s unfolding inside Aligned and Luminous . All links are in the show notes just for you!...

What do you do when the signs won’t let you look away? On a misty evening under the Gemini Full Moon, something shifted. It was quiet and it was unmistakable. The timing. The feeling. The clarity. In this episode, I share a story of sacred timing, intuition, and how we prepare ourselves to actually receive the messages meant for us—through yoga, Reiki, and the rhythms that reconnect us with the di...

In this episode, I share personal stories—from forgotten appointments and flourishing rose bushes to sacred retreats and morning garden meditations—to explore the subtle, powerful difference between routine and ritual.

Through yogic teachings like svadhyaya , viveka , and dharma , alongside insights from neuroscience, I reflect on what...

This episode is special. I’m taking you inside Aligned for our May welcome and the reveal of our Luminous Retreat winner—yes, someone from our online community is coming with us this June!

🎙️ New on The Platinum Triangle: Velvet Rope Resistance Not all resistance is loud. Some of it wears a silk robe, lights a candle, and whispers, "Let’s clean the altar instead." In this episode, Kandice gets personal about the sneakiest kind of self-sabotage: the resistance that looks like sacred practice but is really just sacred avoidance. From creative procrastination to spiritual dis...

Last summer, I said yes to a series of immersion experiences—from a silent retreat in Kentucky to a riverside camping trip to a soul-shaking plant medicine journey in Costa Rica. Each one cracked me open in a different way. Each one brought me home to myself.
