Resilient Women Series: Healing through narrative, with Candace Talmadge

Candace Lynn Talmadge spent decades inside the most disciplined form of storytelling there is: journalism. Deadlines. Accuracy. Accountability. She wrote as a business reporter for major publications, trained to separate emotion from fact and deliver clean, verifiable truth. At the same time, she was quietly studying the emotional body, spirituality, and the unseen layers of human experience. Two parallel lives. One public. One private. Then grief fractured everything. She speaks with authority about: • Reinvention later in life • Healing through narrative • The psychology of grief • Leaving a long career to pursue calling • Why fiction can sometimes say what journalism cannot She does not romanticize pain. She analyzes it. Works with it. Shapes it into story. For hosts, she offers more than an author interview. She offers a conversation about how narrative reshapes identity — and how the stories we tell about our lives determine whether we remain trapped or transformed.
