16. Overcoming Old Beliefs to Step Into the Entrepreneur You’re Meant to Be with Candace Dudley
In this episode of And She Did It, we're sharing Candace's personal journey of leaving behind her teaching career to step into the exciting (and sometimes scary) world of entrepreneurship. It wasn’t just about changing careers—it was about confronting fears, breaking free from old beliefs, and stepping into a whole new identity.
We talk about the mindset shifts that made all the difference, from transforming her relationship with money to letting go of the need for permission. We also pull back the curtain on our Aligned Business Collective and why it’s not your average business membership—it’s a community built on connection, authenticity, and alignment.
If you’ve ever felt held back by fear or stuck in an old version of yourself, this episode is here to inspire you to move forward and create a life and business you’re excited about.
