   Episode 3: The courage to become

   **"We don't have to be hard to be strong."** What if courage isn't about becoming fearless? Sometimes life changes us so deeply that we wonder if we'll ever feel like ourselves again. But what if healing isn't about returning to who we once were? What if it's about becoming someone more? In this episode of **P.A.V.E. Podcast**, Candyce Shuford Brown reflects on how grief, faith, emotional growth, and nervous system regulation have reshaped her understanding of courage. Through Isaiah 43:19, Joshua 1:9, personal reflection, and her original poem **"Reeds in the Tide,"** she explores what it means to trust Jehovah through change and take the next faithful step—even when the path ahead isn't fully clear. ✨ **In This Episode** 🌿 Why courage isn't the absence of fear 🌿 Becoming instead of returning 🌿 Trusting Jehovah through seasons of change 🌿 Holding grief, gratitude, and hope together 🌿 Faith, emotional regulation, and moving with life's waves instead of fighting every current 🌿 Why we don't have to be hard to be strong 🌿 Original spoken-word poem: **"Reeds in the Tide"** 📖 **Scripture for This Episode** **Isaiah 43:19 (NWT)** *"Look! I am doing something new; Even now it is springing up. Do you not recognize it? I will make a way through the wilderness and rivers through the desert."* **Featured Reflection:** **Joshua 1:9 (NWT)** *"Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and strong. Do not be struck with terror or be afraid, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go."* 💛 **Memorable Quotes** *"We don't have to be hard to be strong."* *"Courage isn't always loud."* *"Resistance is not regulation."* *"You don't have to become who you once were."* *"Becoming doesn't happen all at once.

   Episode 2: Grief and Hope Can Coexist

   After loss, it's easy to believe that healing means forgetting. But what if grief and hope don't have to compete? In this episode, Candyce shares how learning to carry love differently transformed her understanding of grief, faith, and hope. Through personal storytelling, Scripture, and reflection, she explores how two truths can live in one heart—and why some things were lost, but the path forward wasn't one of them.

   Don't Call It a Comeback

   Sometimes life asks us to pause so we can become someone more." Welcome to Season 2 of P.A.V.E. Podcast. 🌿 After five years away, this isn't a comeback—it's a continuation. Life didn't stop when the podcast paused. Over the years, I've experienced marriage, motherhood, joy, grief, health challenges, and profound loss. Through it all, I've learned that growth isn't always loud, and healing isn't always linear. In this episode, I share why I believe creativity is much bigger than art, why rest and grief are not interruptions to life, and how sometimes beginning again is its own kind of masterpiece. Whether you've been here since the beginning or you're joining us for the first time, I'm grateful you're here. In this episode we explore: 🌿 Why this isn't a comeback—it's becoming more 🌿 How life changed over the past five years 🌿 Creativity as a way of adapting, making meaning, and showing up 🌿 Motherhood, grief, faith, and beginning again 🌿 What it means to embrace a quiet path forward Scripture for this episode: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NWT) "For everything there is an appointed time, a time for every activity under the heavens." Memorable Quotes "I've been here. I've just become more." "Creativity simply looks like beginning again." "Where every quiet step forward is its own kind of masterpiece." "Sometimes life asks us to pause, not so we can become who we once were, but so we can become someone more." Support the Podcast ☕ If P.A.V.E.

Ep 24: "Let's level the playing field" with Kristin Carder

Published 13 May 2021 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And really, that's all it does. It doesn't put you at an advantage over other humans. All it does is level the playing field. Neurologically speaking, right? And that's not too much to ask. It's not too much to ask that we level the playing fields and that we take the time to treat this disorder, because if we don't take it seriously and kind of put that at the forefront of our minds, then we're always going to be running into procrastination, shame spirals, destructibility, emotional explosions, quick to being frustrated. And those symptoms can be lessened with the proper treatment and support. […]
