Meet your host, Kandy Duns, former People Pleasing, Overachieving, Perfectionist. After spending most of her life putting her needs last, Kandy found herself completely burned out, leading to what she refers to as the breakdown she needed to reveal just how broken she was. Realizing she could no longer pour from an empty cup, and that she really had no idea who she was, Kandy learned to embrace the power of self-love and self-care, transforming her life. Kandy is an RN, Certified Hypnotherapist, and Self-Love and Self-Care Advocate. Join Kandy every other week as she shares her journey and expertise. Through personal stories and expert insights, she guides listeners from surviving to thriving, burnout to bliss, and from being selfless to embracing SELF-YES!
If you are a woman yearning to reconnect with yourself and prioritize your needs, this podcast is for you. For personalized guidance, contact her at kandy@selflesstoselfyes.com.
