On this episode of First Paso, Candace unpacks the fear and guilt we feel around rest—especially in a culture that glorifies hustle. Many of us believe that slowing down means we’re falling behind.
But what if rest is actually the key to moving forward?
Listen as Candace breaks down the emotional and spiritual weight of rest, how hustle culture has shaped our mindset, and why trusting stillness isn’t laziness—it’s growth.
