From Setback to Stability

Hi there, I’m Candace—most know me as Jayda!

Life hasn’t always followed the plan I had in mind, but through every twist and turn, I’ve learned the value of resilience, simplicity, and living with purpose. After navigating mental health challenges and a financial setback that reshaped my world, I chose to rebuild—not just my finances, but my entire life—with intention and authenticity.

This blog is where I share the lessons and insights I’ve gained along the way. From simplifying my surroundings to redefining success on my own terms, my goal is to inspire and empower you to create a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

A big part of my journey has been letting go of societal norms and embracing a minimalist mindset—focusing less on “stuff” and more on clarity, freedom, and the things that bring me real joy. While my non-traditional career journey is part of my story, it’s just one thread in the bigger picture of living with intention and authenticity.

A little about me: I’m a creative at heart, a lover of quiet moments, and someone who believes in finding beauty in simplicity. When I’m not writing or creating, you can find me spending time with my adorable Maltipoo pup, painting, or soaking up the sun at the beach.

What You’ll Find Here:

• Honest stories about simplifying life and embracing what truly matters.

• Practical tools and tips to create clarity and balance in your daily life.

• Encouragement to embrace authenticity, resilience, and intentional living.

I truly believe we all have the power to simplify, rebuild, and thrive—no matter where we’re starting from. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’m excited to navigate this journey with you!

With simplicity and purpose,

Jayda
