Episode 18- Reclaiming Your Voice: From Holding Space to Taking Up Space

For years, Candis Melamed built her career helping others be seen. As the founder of a public relations firm, The Spotlight Agency, she has shaped stories from behind the scenes — holding space, amplifying voices, guiding others into visibility. But at some point, she realized something powerful: Holding space for everyone else doesn’t mean you’re meant to stay small. In this episode of Call the Nurse, we talk about what it truly means to reclaim your voice — especially in midlife & also the unexpected power of midlife friendships — the kind that witness you, stretch you, and quietly call you forward. Candis discusses finding her own voice- rooted in her Jewish faith, shaped by her Iranian lineage, and strengthened by the women who came before her. This conversation is about sisterhood, legacy, faith, motherhood, and visibility. Because sometimes the woman who has always held space for everyone else… is finally ready to take up her own space. 🎙️Connect with Mindie!
