Welcome to The Candid Cara Podcast, the podcast where soulful reflection meets lyrical candor! Tune in for a weekly dose of emotional depth, personal revelations, and musical moments.
Join me as I dive deep into mental health and my own healing journey, exploring the complexities of perspective and the beauty of vulnerability. These conversations are honest, intense, and occasionally TMI, offering a safe space for weirdness, growth, and Being Yourself. Each episode features heartfelt openness and celebration of resilience, creativity, self-discovery, and Doing The Hard Things. Expect spontaneous singing, songwriting analysis, mental health rants, and unfiltered feelings.
Let's grow, heal, harmonize, and be candid together!
In this episode, I sit down with LA singer-songwriter Sydney Shea, who is also an incredible dancer. Self-taught on the guitar and piano, she is making great strides in her career. Having spent the last couple of years focused on artist development, she recently took the big step of performing on LA stages such as Hotel Café. She is also working on new music to release in the very near future. Sydney’s voice is angelic, and her lyrics are as poetic as they are intentional.
