Episode Description from the Publisher

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with actress, producer, bestselling author, and podcast host Candace Cameron Bure for an honest conversation about turning 50, preparing for perimenopause, becoming a grandmother, facing imposter syndrome, and choosing purpose over constant achievement. Candace explains why she was nervous about turning 50 and why she now believes every decade has been better than the one before it. After years of chasing goals and building her career, she says success is no longer about money, accomplishments, or the strength of her résumé. It is about legacy, family, faith, and fulfilling the purpose God has given her. Candace shares how she became more proactive about her health as she entered perimenopause. She discusses changing her workouts, getting bloodwork, using supplements, protecting eight hours of sleep, and refusing to schedule work before she has taken care of her body. Kerstin and Candace also discuss why physical, emotional, and spiritual health cannot be separated. Candace previews her upcoming live tour with triple board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Tabatha Barber, where they will answer women’s questions about hormones, midlife health, faith, relationships, and wellness. Candace introduces her new 30-day devotional, Wild Hope, and explains why hope does not have to depend on circumstances. She also shares how singing Scripture has helped her memorize longer passages and why finding new ways to spend time with God keeps her faith from becoming routine. The conversation explores the need for authentic friendships, the courage required to ask others for prayer, and the safe community Candace is building through the Together Community. Candace also opens up about becoming a grandmother and why she sees it as a second chance to be more patient, present, and intentional than she was while raising three children in her twenties. Despite decades of success, Candace admits that she still experiences imposter syndrome and sometimes feels unqualified to be in the room. She explains why her confidence does not come from believing she is the smartest or most accomplished person there. It comes from trusting that God placed her there for a reason.
