28 Candice Kumai – Balancing Self Care and Caring for Others

We’ve got a lot to cover today, folks. We’re talking about food, wellness, heartbreak, betrayal, and self care. That’s because I’m talking to someone you may know: Candice Kumai.

Candice is a chef, an influencer, a five-time author, a leading wellness journalist, a creative director, and a yogi. She’s on TV all the time and she works like crazy, but she still makes sure that 80% of her work is volunteering. She’s all about living clean, green, and inspiring the younger generation to take care of themselves.

What I love about Candice is that she really cares about other people being healthy. She wants you to be your best, most content, self. Listen in to hear about her self care rituals, her nonprofit work, why her community is so important to her, plus you’ll have a chance to win one of Candice’s great cookbooks!.
