Happy World Book Day ☺️❤️📚

It feels like such an opportune time to share this…my book, “Reparenting the Inner Child” is now supported by , and we’ll be hosting a book event at the in June (TBC) 🤭☺️🥲

This is a huge milestone for me as a self-published author 🥹because never in my wildest! And sitting with this moment has really taken me back to something a life coach once said to me, that this book is my gift to the world! And I think today, more than ever, I’m holding onto that. That each of us carries something… something the world needs. Something only we can offer, in the way that we can offer it.

Almost three years into this journey, I’m just sitting with a deep, deep gratitude today.

To every single person who has been part of this…my family, my friends, those who has supported, shared, encouraged, and held this work in all the ways that you have, THANK YOU ❤️

And of course, I can’t not acknowledge God’s hand in this. His favour, His guidance… carrying this further than I ever could have planned myself.

So today, I’m grateful 🥲

Happy World Book Day from Author, Candice Lynn Warner 🤍

This morning I had the opportunity to deliver a keynote at , speaking to a school counsellors network spanning across the Southern Suburbs and greater Cape Town.

The topic? Holding space in a time of crisis…

And one question I posed: before we hold space for others, do we even have the capacity to hold space at all?

Part of that meant really sitting with how we begin to value the person of the therapist. Because stepping into this work can sometimes be one of the most sophisticated defence mechanisms for us , giving us this aura of control, often allowing us to avoid looking at our own stuff.

And yet, we are the ones holding others through theirs.

So maybe we do have it a bit backwards. Maybe the work is to study ourselves first… and then others.

You see, working in this space doesn’t mean we’ve arrived it simply means we’ve made a commitment to the journey, to keep turning inward and to keep doing the inner work.

And in order to hold space well, we have to find ways to restore hope within ourselves first.

I had a time. Thank you St Cyps🌿

Catch me this coming Sunday on sè jou sè, where we’ll be discussing a young boy who tragically took his own life. We also explore suicidality in children and what signs parents and families should be aware of.

Don’t miss it. This was a truly heartbreaking conversation to hold.

I rarely have stock of my book, it’s usually sold as soon as it arrives. If you’re looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift or a meaningful festive read, this one is perfect. Retail price is R280, but I’m offering signed copies for R250 as part of the festive cheer. Just signed two copies earlier today for someone blessing a sibling this Christmas 🎄✨

Thank you, CCFM and especially Anslin , for inviting me to unpack a topic many Christians are made to feel ashamed of, and therefore often carry in silence: anxiety, mental health, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

The quintile classification system provides a legal framework allowing institutions to maintain privilege while appearing neutral.

A lot of us are tired… not just because life is full, but because we keep giving ourselves to things that give nothing back.

We say yes out of habit, out of pressure, out of fear of disappointing people, until “empty” starts to feel normal.

But your soul knows the difference. It knows what feeds you and what slowly wears you down. Nourishment isn’t a luxury. It’s survival 💛

This is a little snippet from my Soul Food Sunday chat with .nodada this morning on .
