Life Path, Purpose, and Side Adventures: What You Need to Know
with Shelly and Candice
SEASON 2 EPISODE 10
Welcome back, bright lights, to the Healers With Humor blog!
In this episode of Healers With Humor, we’re talking about the big questions:
✨ Why are you here?
✨ What is your soul's purpose?
✨ Are you on the right path?
✨ And if not—can you take a side adventure?
Candice and Shelly open this conversation with a candle intention of serenity and an oracle pull of Bee Spirit—prosperity through aligned energy and collaboration. It sets the tone for a deeply empowering talk about what it means to live a life with purpose.
Path vs. Purpose: What’s the Difference?
Candice defines path as your energetic blueprint—laid out before you arrived here. Purpose, on the other hand, is the soul’s true calling—what you’re here to feel, give, and create in this life. They often work hand-in-hand, but they aren’t always the same.
Shelly shares how her view of purpose has shifted over time. Once obsessed with finding her “capital P” Purpose, she now focuses on living more joyfully and intentionally—trusting that purpose often unfolds through healing, play, and curiosity.
Tools to Guide You Home
Shelly and Candice share practical and spiritual tools that can help uncover your soul’s purpose:
Numerology (Life Path Numbers): A reflection of your soul’s contract
Astrology: Look at your North Node, Chiron, and Saturn placements
Human Design: Learn your energetic blueprint and “yes” signals
Body Cues: Humming, relaxing, peacefulness—what signals alignment for you?
Joy + Curiosity Lists: Reconnect with what lights you up
You don’t need a dramatic awakening to find your purpose. Sometimes, all it takes is a quiet moment and a deep question: What do I want more of in my life?
Creating Sacred Space for Fresh Starts
In the mess of heartbreak, Olivia and her sister Jenny created something remarkable: a platform that not only offers physical resources like curated product bundles, but also emotional and energetic support through a vetted community of experts.
Whether someone is navigating divorce, coming out, moving cities, or stepping into a new chapter, Fresh Starts Registry offers a place to begin again.
And as Olivia reminds us: “Fresh starts don’t always come wrapped in pretty packages. Sometimes they come in grief, in tears, and in total transformation.”
The Messy Middle: When Purpose Feels Hard
Candice shares a vulnerable moment of nearly “burning it all down” when running her healing business felt too overwhelming. She reflects on how even knowing your purpose doesn’t guarantee ease. Sometimes the path gets hard. Sometimes rest is required. And sometimes, a meltdown leads to a breakthrough. Support, community, and divine timing brought her back to clarity.
Shelly echoes that some of the hardest moments of her healing journey—including divorce and deprogramming old beliefs—were the catalysts that led her toward authenticity, creativity, and peace. She also reflects on the discomfort of leaning into feminine energy after being rewarded for years of masculine “doing.”
Detours, Breaks & the Beauty of the Scenic Route
This episode lovingly reminds us that not all growth is linear. Whether it’s a joyful side adventure, a quiet season of rest, or a spontaneous weekend picnic—every detour can be sacred.
Candice shares that her awakening didn’t begin until age 44. Shelly reminds us we can always ask, “Do I want to live the next 20 years the way I’ve lived the last?”
You don’t need to “figure it all out.” You just need to begin again—with intention.
