Sending the shoulder pads back to the 80's
from The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast · host Candace Dunaway
In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a moment from a publishing conference, speaker from Penguin said it looked like he was wearing shoulder pads throughout the 80s, but really his shoulders were simply stuck up by his ears from stress. The comment sparked a deeper reflection about the ways we carry tension in our bodies—not just from our busy lives, but perhaps from old emotional wounds, family patterns, and experiences we haven't fully released. Candace explores the connection between the physical and the emotional, sharing her own journey with chronically tight shoulders and a chiropractor's comment that they would likely never change. But what if that's not true? What if healing is possible in ways we don't yet understand?
