In this conversation, I sat down with Candace Cameron Bure, and I’ve got to tell you, this one hit me in a different way. So many of you are in a season where something in your life has ended. A career, a relationship, a chapter you thought defined you. And now you’re asking what’s next. Candace has lived that at the highest level. From global fame on Full House to stepping away for a decade to raise her family, and then rebuilding her career all over again. What she shared about reinvention, identity, and having the courage to start over is something every one of you needs to hear. We got real about confidence, or the lack of it. She opened up about being nervous, doubting herself, and still showing up anyway. That idea of fake it until you make it is not about being inauthentic. It is about choosing courage in moments where fear is loud. And I think that is something so many people miss. You do not need to feel ready. You just need to move. Candace’s drive, what she calls her little engine that could mentality, is a masterclass in perseverance and faith in action. We also went deep on faith. And I mean really deep. This was not surface level. Candace shared what it has cost her to be bold about what she believes. Opportunities lost. Criticism. Being labeled in ways that do not reflect who she really is. But what stood out to me is that her identity is not conditional. It is not based on what people think, how her career is going, or whether life feels easy in the moment. That kind of conviction is rare. And it is powerful. We talked about fame, success, and what people get wrong about both. The influence that comes with it, but also the loss of privacy and control. We talked about marriage, priorities, and what it takes to keep a relationship strong for decades. And I loved hearing how intentional she is about protecting what matters most. Her family, her faith, and the life she is building behind the scenes, not just what the world sees. At the end, I asked her a simple but powerful question. If someone wants to run their race well, where do they start? And her answer was not complicated. It starts in your heart. It starts with a conversation with God. That moment alone is worth listening to this entire episode. This is one of those conversations that can truly shift your perspective on who you are and where you are going. Key Takeaways: Why your identity cannot be tied to a single chapter of your life How to rebuild confidence even when you feel unqualified or afraid The real cost and reward of standing firm in your beliefs What fame really gives you and what it quietly takes away How to prioritize marriage, faith, and purpose in a busy life Where to begin if you want to live with more intention and conviction 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  I hear so many small business owners say the exact same thing. They just never have enough time in the day. Well, I measure time differently. I've compressed, condensed, heck, I've bent time. My first day is 6:00 a.m. to noon. My second day starts at noon and goes till 6:00 P.M. And my third day, 6:00 P.M. to midnight. I now get 21 days a week. Stack that up over a month, over a year, over five years, and my life's completely different than it would have been otherwise. And if you want to win as an entrepreneur, you have to compress your time, too. And you definitely can't afford to waste it. Waiting weeks on a big bank for capital? Your best bet's to work with my friends at Cardiff. They know how to compress time for entrepreneurs. They get your business approved in minutes and funded the very same day. They're America's favorite small business lender, and for good reason.

• 1:35Ed Mylett?

  This is the Ed and Myron Show. Welcome back to the show, you guys. So this week's really special for me because I'm actually fanboying here a little bit.

• 1:44Speaker 02

  Really?

• 1:45Ed Mylett?

  Yeah. Actually, a lot of bit. And so the woman to my left, she's an entrepreneur. You all know her from Full House. She's an actress, she's a producer, she's a bestselling author. She's an amazing wife. She's got all kinds of incredible things going on. I found out she's making tons of movies that we're going to talk about still. And so I cannot wait to pick your brain about your life because it's been so interesting. By the way, she's so nice and humble in person as well. So Candace Cameron-Burroughs, welcome to the show.

• 2:14Speaker 02

  Thanks. Thanks for having me.

• 2:16Ed Mylett?

  It's great to have you. You know what I wanted to ask you first? Because the audience is, everyone listening or watching today, they're all at some different stage of their life, probably trying to make some type of a dream come true. And I followed you for all of these years. You've had staying power, but you've had to remake yourself, right? And so what would you say to somebody, or how did you do it where you have one thing in your life and then it kind of ends? So you have Full House, you're known for that. I mean, that's a big deal and then that's over. And for a lot of people, I think their career or something they've done and achieved becomes their identity.

• 2:49Speaker 02

  Right.

• 2:49Ed Mylett?

  And so there's a lot of people today that just, something's ended. You know, maybe a marriage has ended, a business has ended. Maybe they're an empty nester now, their kids have moved out. So they're at this stage of life where something new's beginning, but something just ended. How did you deal with that? Or what advice would you give to somebody at that stage?

• 3:08Speaker 02

  I feel like the little engine that could. I just, I have a drive and I think there are a lot of people that are motivated with that. And sometimes you just don't know what the first steps are.

• 3:19Speaker 02

  But I've, I've always been a driven person. And if, if you have that drive and you're like, my life's not over. There's so much more living, there's so much more to do. Whether you've been in that field before and had success, or you want to try a whole new field.

• 3:37Speaker 02

  I'm the encourager to say, go do it, go try it.

• 3:39Ed Mylett?

  Do it again.

• 3:40Speaker 02

  Who, who, who cares if you fail in the process? That's all part of the learning experience, right?

• 3:47Ed Mylett?

  Yes, yes. That's easy to say though, don't you think? I mean, if someone's just had, well, like in your case, was there ever a dark period of your career? Or did you just go from project to project? Like when Full House ended?

• 3:59Speaker 02

  When Full House ended, I was eighteen years old. I worked for a couple more years, but then I got married at twenty and had my first child at twenty-two. So I then was out of the business for ten years while I had kids. So I took a ten-year break.

• 4:19Speaker 02

  And then I came back in my early thirties and it was a new, I mean, a whole new thing because while there was success, I was a kid. I was on television. I mean, I've been working since I was five years old. So from five to eighteen, but on Full House from ten to eighteen years old. Then you come back as an adult, as a thirty something year old, and you have to remind people

• 4:45Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 4:45Speaker 02

  wh- why they liked you.

• 4:47Ed Mylett?

  Right.

• 4:47Speaker 02

  What you did. And, but yet you're coming back in a new position as a new revelation to people as, you know, there's some qualities that are the same and yet there's maturity that's gone on that you have to tell people, you know, hey, this is who I am today. And so, I, I, I had such a love and passion for the entertainment industry and storytelling and I had wanted to continue doing it. So that's why I feel like the little engine that could because there's just been so many roadblocks along the way. I can't even begin to tell you.

• 5:24Ed Mylett?

  Maybe we'll talk about a few. That's interesting. You say the little engine that could because I would think being gone that long, at least in my case, I s- I've struggled with my confidence most of my life. You know, even the things that I'm good at, when I don't do them for a while or I'm starting over again. Did you, were you, did you come back like I can, like with confidence or did you have to do something to rebuild that confidence again?

• 5:44Speaker 02

  I'm a fake it till you make it in the confidence kind of girl. I feel very nervous and I lack self-confidence often, more than I care to admit. I really wish that I was that person that could boldly walk into a room with confidence and yet I, I've just motivated myself to fake it. And uh, and so I I'm the girl that like would have huge, I still do, I got the big armpit sweat stains cause I'm like leaking through my clothes with nerves and yet I have that little drive that's like you can do this Candace, you can do it, just, just do it, go for it.

• 6:27Ed Mylett?

  I'm so grateful that you would share that because I think most people in your position, I've had a lot of people in the entertainment business on the show. I think sometimes they think they have to like reveal perfection for people to think they're somehow, we almost look at celebrities as if they're different than us. When in fact, I've got to know through doing the show, they're just us, right? But I think a lot of celebrities sort of posture themselves as different than us and as special. You don't seem to have the need to do that.

• 6:56Speaker 02

  I just wanna be myself. I don't wanna walk through life being anyone else. I don't, when you

• 7:05Speaker 02

  have, whether it's an ego or there's a boastfulness, there's a pedestal and a standard and that you have to live up to.

• 7:13Ed Mylett?

  That true.

• 7:14Speaker 02

  And who wants to do that? I don't. I would much rather boast in my failures and let God shine through of what he carries me through to do.

• 7:25Ed Mylett?

  I love that. That was your, you're kind of doing the interview for me to some extent because I think there's certain people when you meet them, I'll just give you a compliment, that um, I think you see what I call the Holy Spirit on them. You see light in them when you meet them and you, when you meet them, you're almost like, I'd like to have that in my life too. And right when you walked in here, cause we've not met before today. I mean, I know a bunch of people that know you and likewise, we have mutual friends. But right when you walk in, there's a, there's a lightness to you, both ways. I mean, light, not heavy, meaning you're pleasant to be with. But I mean, you bring a light, God's light with you. Has that been part of your recipe of maybe when you don't believe in Candace necessarily? You do know that God's always got his hand on you.

• 8:09Speaker 02

  Oh, a hundred percent. I know that God is walking with me every single step. That's where my confidence lies.

• 8:17Speaker 02

  Absolutely. Yeah, when I lack confidence, I know he, he has confidence and he's gonna carry me through.

• 8:24Ed Mylett?

  Same here. Just went out on stage.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:27Ed Mylett?

  And if it was me alone, there's, I don't know how many thousands of people out there. When I, if I were out there alone, I'd be really scared and nervous because I know how inadequate I am, but

• 8:35Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 8:35Ed Mylett?

  I know he can carry me through that.

• 8:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:38Ed Mylett?

  One thing I re- respect about you, and I'd like you to speak to this, you know, mine, it's kind of a serious thing too. You are pretty bold about your faith. I would say more than pretty bold. You've been bold about your faith, about expressing what you believe in. And a lot of blessings have come with that. However, so has criticism.

• 8:55Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 8:55Ed Mylett?

  And there's people listening to today that wherever they are, or wanna speak up about something, it could be their faith, it could be some injustice they see at work, it could be something political. And here's the truth, most people don't because of fear of retribution, or criticism, or hate. And you seem to be such this gentle, kind soul, but when it comes to the things you really believe in, it's like, get out of the way, I'm gonna tell you what I really feel. Has that been something you've had, you've had to deal with criticism from it, right? And how have you?

• 9:24Speaker 02

  The word I've disliked most that I've heard back from

• 9:30Speaker 02

  people, it's not even people, but it's the people in positions of power that can determine the things I do and don't do in the entertainment industry, is the word polarizing. And I just hate it. I'm like, okay, well, she's too polarizing. And so I've, I, that's just been a word that I laugh out now, but I've, I, I

• 9:53Speaker 02

  I, my faith means so much to me. I can't leave it at the door when I walk outside of my home. Uh, it goes with me everywhere I go, and I, all the things that I do in my life, I, from my heart, I want to do them. For the glory of God. Um, I know I'll, I'll fail in many ways in doing that, but that is my greatest intention. And I care more about what God thinks about me than what people think about me. And that's a lesson I've had to learn over the years that doesn't come naturally. I'm very much a people pleaser. And yet, God has given me, because I, I believe in the Bible. I believe that the Bible is true.

• 10:37Speaker 02

  And when I read those, the words that are written, um, I believe them wholeheartedly. And so when I, I read from the words of Paul and he talks about considering that it's great joy to face trials because it produces endurance. Um, and also talks about endurance producing proven character and character producing hope and the joy that we have within us. I believe those words to be true. So I want to live them out and, and rest on that hope and assurance. And that is what gives me, I guess, the confidence or strength to just say, I'm going to be unapologetic

• 11:21Speaker 02

  about this because guess what? I'm not facing you when I die. I'm going to be facing a holy God when I die.

• 11:29Ed Mylett?

  That's so beautifully said. Does it cost you a bunch?

• 11:32Speaker 02

  It has.

• 11:33Ed Mylett?

  What's it cost you?

• 11:34Speaker 02

  I mean, it's been incredible in some ways.

• 11:37Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 11:37Speaker 02

  So not to just focus on the negative. It has, I had, I didn't go into the entertainment industry thinking, um, hey, I'm going to use my Christianity to get ahead.

• 11:48Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 11:49Speaker 02

  I think anyone that goes into that.

• 11:51Ed Mylett?

  Right.

• 11:52Speaker 02

  Um, is crazy because it doesn't necessarily get you ahead. It's probably, will put you two steps behind because it costs a lot more than, than usually um, helping you out in your career. However, I've had many blessings from it because I was bold in my faith. I co-hosted The View for two years. I mean, that was already 10 years ago, but that was a position. Yeah. That was a position I never thought that I would. Have done to be a co-host on that. And yet, it has cost me things, it has cost me contracts, partnerships, relationships, friendships.

• 12:29Speaker 02

  Um, I've been, yeah, dropped by companies and have lost out on interviews and even parts as an actor. Uh, promotional things because, here's that word, I'm too polarizing.

• 12:44Ed Mylett?

  That's such a strange word for such a nice person, you know? I, I wonder what it's like, so were you raised in your faith? Cause your brother's also bold about it, I assume you're both raised with, with faith, is that true?

• 12:56Speaker 02

  Yes and no.

• 12:57Ed Mylett?

  Well, you hesitated there.

• 12:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, yes and no, so the first time I went to church, I was twelve years old.

• 13:01Ed Mylett?

  Oh, okay.

• 13:02Speaker 02

  My dad was not a believer. Uh, my mom was a believer. And my parents, when I was twelve, almost got divorced. A friend had them go to marital counseling together through the church.

• 13:16Ed Mylett?

  Okay.

• 13:17Speaker 02

  And that was a big deal because my dad was basically an atheist and was like, you guys can decide what religion you wanna be when you're eighteen, I don't want religion. So when we started to go to church as a family, I became a believer at twelve. But again, growing up in my home, my mom was a believer, loved it, was encouraging us. We would go to church and she would talk about God to us, but my dad was never there. My dad is a Christian now.

• 13:48Ed Mylett?

  Great.

• 13:49Speaker 02

  But, um, but men, and he's been a Christian for a long time, but it, yeah, I don't think, you know, he became a Christian really until I was probably twenty-five years old, something like that.

• 14:01Ed Mylett?

  Okay, so this was something you sort of ended up building on your own, I mean, through mom?

• 14:05Speaker 02

  I really did.

• 14:06Ed Mylett?

  Through mom?

• 14:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, through mom, but just.

• 14:10Speaker 02

  At twelve years old, I really had a deep desire to know God once I was told about him. I'm like, there's a God out there that created the world and loved me, loves me. Like, that was exciting.

• 14:21Ed Mylett?

  Yeah, you know what, I think, I think you're so right. I think everybody does.

• 14:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:26Ed Mylett?

  I think everybody wants to know why they're here. Now, people have come to different conclusions and different answers for themselves. You and I have reached the same conclusion.

• 14:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:33Ed Mylett?

  But I do think that's the primary question of life.

• 14:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:36Ed Mylett?

  Why am I here? Where do I go when it's over? And everybody should be exploring that for themselves, instead of having the noise of the world distract them all the time. I'm curious with, for you, um, cause most people have never had what you've had. You, you're so humble. But you've had a life

• 14:52Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 14:52Ed Mylett?

  in many ways, that's one that people would dream of in some senses, but it's just a very unique ride. Meaning this, incredible fame, right? You're on the, basically the number one TV show on the planet that is a decade long.

• 15:06Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 15:07Ed Mylett?

  To this day, probably you can't go anywhere where there's just raving fans who feel like they know you. And you had all this hit young.

• 15:15Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 15:15Ed Mylett?

  Then it goes away for a while, kind of, I would think. And then it comes back in droves. Now you're making four or five movies a year again, which we'll talk about in a minute. What is fame like? Cause so many people want it, right?

• 15:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:27Ed Mylett?

  Like, most people want some level of fame. They're, they're obsessed with how many likes did I just get on my Instagram account? So everyone, it seems, not everyone, but so many people are chasing some sort of adulation outside of gods or their own, their own families. What's it like? Is it what it's cracked up to be? How's it, what's the negatives and the positives?

• 15:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, some of the positives of fame, I think the number one thing I think about is influence. You have influence over a lot of people.

• 15:57Ed Mylett?

  Great point.

• 15:57Speaker 02

  What you use that influence for.

• 16:01Speaker 02

  determines who you are, what you wanna put out into the world. But what an opportunity to have fame equals influence is very powerful. And can be used for so much good. The opposite can be true as well.

• 16:19Speaker 02

  You know, being famous typically, if you have good people around you can mean financial security. You know, that helps with life.

• 16:28Ed Mylett?

  Sure.

• 16:30Speaker 02

  But the negatives, I would say to fame is lack of privacy. And people don't realize what that feels like until it's gone.

• 16:41Speaker 02

  You know, some of us, and I, and I say this myself. Like, I love social media. I love sharing with people and some people share a lot of their life on social media. However, when things get shared about you that you did not give permission for, or photos are released, or things are said about you, that lack of privacy, whether it's online or in person, people following you, wanting something of you or your time because they feel that they deserve it. And you need to give it to them because they feel a certain way towards you, even though you don't know this person, but they feel like they know you.

• 17:23Speaker 02

  It's a strange place to be in and you just don't know it until you experience it.

• 17:29Ed Mylett?

  It's really true because you grew up with notoriety. My form of it, however I get it, happened much later in life as like a middle-aged guy and it's shocking. I think it used to be cooler to be well-known and famous before social media. So I only, the only thing I disagree with because of what you just said. It's the never-ending things that can be said about you that are out of your control.

• 17:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:51Ed Mylett?

  And so it is a very different thing, but it's branding, notoriety. It's almost, business has almost become to me, it's, it used to be, who do you know? Now it's more who knows you.

• 18:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:00Ed Mylett?

  You know, it's much easier to get marketing done and branding done and attention for projects. So it's a, it's a double-edged sword for sure. So you're, you, speaking of projects, I didn't know any of this about you till I started prepping for the interview. My son is the producer and so he's like, Dad, this woman is fascinating. Look at these successes she's had and these different things she's done. And I didn't, I didn't know that and I apologize for that, but.

• 18:23Speaker 02

  Don't.

• 18:24Ed Mylett?

  Oh, my gosh, like you're a legit big-time entrepreneur, so.

  I want to talk a little bit about that because I'd say if there's a career path that's most common with my show, it's probably entrepreneurs or someone taking initiative in their life. They're taking control of their body or their finances or something like that. And so you, you've been successful in many different businesses, you and your husband. But one of them I want to talk about just because I think it's cool is the wine business. So how the heck does that happen, Miss Christian Girl? Now that we're talking about alcohol. So like, let's hear what this-

• 21:00Speaker 02

  Honestly, I'm happy to talk about it, but it's really for my husband.

• 21:04Ed Mylett?

  I know that, but I'm-

• 21:05Speaker 02

  That's, he runs that. So my husband was a professional hockey player. He was in the NHL for 12 years. And when you're a professional athlete, you usually have to have a second career. And my husband was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens. So we first lived in Montreal. He's from Russia and he came here at 17 years old. And when he, we were living in Montreal as a very young married couple, he was exposed to great food and wine for the first time in his life.

• 21:35Ed Mylett?

  Such a great city.

• 21:36Speaker 02

  And so we are big foodies and enjoy great wine also. And so as Val played the years through hockey and was starting to think about what is my next, my second act, what am I going to do once I retire, he knew immediately he wanted to be in the food and wine industry. So we actually had opened a restaurant at one point, had that for a couple of years during the last two years of his career. But we had been to Italy, we had been to France, fell in love with the wine region, and then we went to Napa Valley and Val said, this is it. And there was a lockout year in the NHL. So that lockout

• 22:15Speaker 02

  year, nobody was playing. He came to Napa Valley, spent the year during harvest and making relationships, understanding, just learning the whole business. Spent about eight months. So that when he was ready to retire, he said, this is what I'm going to do and did it. And I just know my husband. He is a very driven person. He is also an Olympian. And I say that because Olympians have a whole different mentality in terms of- A standard that they can accomplish that unlike normal people just don't have that kind of dedication and commitment. And so I know when he puts his mind to something, he will do it a hundred and ten percent. And so he's like, this is what I want to do.

• 23:00Speaker 02

  And I was like, fantastic, let's go do it.

• 23:02Ed Mylett?

  Well, so, so there's two of you in one relationship then, right? So like, there's two like mega achiever doers. And so, so you've got businesses, he's got business. You're also like, you're really busy. How long does it take to make a movie? Typically speaking.

• 23:20Speaker 02

  Well, for television movies, because I produce all of them. So my, you know, it's about, it's about five to six months from start to finish. So that's finding a script, prepping the movie, which is about three to four weeks. The shooting is the shortest part of it. We're shooting these movies in fifteen days. And, and then you have a post, which is about twelve weeks or so.

• 23:48Ed Mylett?

  Okay, so listen to this, everybody. You're doing like four or five a year.

• 23:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, I have five movies this year.

• 23:54Ed Mylett?

  Oh, my gosh. So, so you have five movies, businesses, he's got a business, kids, you're last one, you're now an empty nester, is that right?

• 24:01Speaker 02

  Our youngest still lives at home, but my kids are, two are married and, you know, they're all adults.

• 24:06Ed Mylett?

  Okay, so a lot of people wonder this, like, plus you got church life and this stuff, and we're both speaking at the same event here today. It's a fair question. By the way, sometimes people say, well, women get asked this more than men. I ask the same question to men, like, how the heck, like, do you have a, a, a system of how you hold all of this together, a way of being, like, that's bananas. That seems to me like, you know, like, like she got here, you guys, like, just so you know FYI, she was here, ten minutes later, bam, we're sitting down doing the interview, when the interview's done, bam, she's up on the stage. Like, it's, it could be out of control, but it seems to not be with you.

• 24:40Speaker 02

  No, I have an incredible team of people. And so I have, I mean, I, I have a company, Candy Rock Entertainment, and I have two incredible business partners. And then we have our team that works for us. So I had to learn how to delegate because of that drive that I have. And once I learned how to do that, I'm like, oh, I don't have to be the ringleader and master of all things at all times. And so that's how I managed to do it. But I have a great team that helps.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Put the schedule together and make sure that I'm prepped and ready to go. But I mean, I do my homework. I do, I do the work.

• 25:20Ed Mylett?

  Hmm.

• 25:21Speaker 02

  But I couldn't do it without my team.

• 25:22Ed Mylett?

  Hmm.

• 25:22Speaker 02

  And I would say the hardest part is balancing home life. My marriage is incredibly important to me as it is my husband. And so, we make significant priorities in our relationship. To be together, because we both travel a lot as well. But to be together, to stay connected, to have the conversations, to be physically together with one another in person. And not just talking on the phone or FaceTime. I mean, that is a key priority. And I also, that is a key priority within my team, that they know that sometimes we have to say no to things. Because if I need to be with my husband, um, that takes priority over everything else.

• 26:06Ed Mylett?

  What's it look like though? Like, how do you do that? So, is it a scheduling thing?

• 26:09Speaker 02

  It's a scheduling thing. It's, uh, we, we kind of have this two-week rule. We just made that up. That's what my husband would say. It would, it would be a two-day rule if he could have his, his preference. But because I travel and I go away for a movie for a month, we don't like to be apart for more than two weeks. So, he'll come up to visit me, uh, as soon as I come home. I just kind of know that, hey, once I come home from something, I need two weeks at home. I, I need substantial time to nurture our relationship and keep it going. We've been married, it's gonna be thirty years in June.

• 26:46Ed Mylett?

  It's Valerie, right?

• 26:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 26:48Ed Mylett?

  Yeah. What a great player, by the way, too. Congratulations. That's a long time.

• 26:52Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 26:52Ed Mylett?

  Yeah. And you seem very much in love still. You had, you had dinner last night with a friend of mine and he's like, yeah, they're still whooped. That's so cool, though. That's so awesome. What do you do? Do you have any rituals or things you do to hold it all together? I know you have a prayer life, clearly.

• 27:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:05Ed Mylett?

  But you're also, you appear to be in great shape. So, like, what do you, what do you do to keep this whole thing, this train, moving all the time? Do you have some daily rituals or habits that you would share for super busy people?

• 27:18Speaker 02

  I'm in the gym every morning or out for a walk. My fitness is incredibly important. I'm also turning fifty this year and so I wanna do all the things that will make me feel my best going into the second half of life.

• 27:33Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  Uh, God willing, I live to a hundred.

• 27:36Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 27:37Speaker 02

  So, fitness is important and I, that clears my brain. It helps me mentally focus and

• 27:44Speaker 02

  so I schedule and prioritize my fitness time and it's like an hour, you know, it's not crazy. And I would say my prayer life is very big in my, in my Bible time and focusing um, on my time with the Lord because I, I'm not walking my life for me. God's given me my life and he's entrusted me to live it out and so I gotta check it in with him daily. God, is this what you want me to do today? Is this the plan that you would have for me? Is this the road that you want me to walk on? Is this the decision you'd like me to make? I have to check in with him about everything cuz it's really his life that he's given me to live out.

• 28:26Ed Mylett?

  Can I ask you something personal on that? I think people that hear that sometime, especially if they're maybe they're new to their faith.

• 28:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:35Ed Mylett?

  Or maybe they don't have faith yet and they hear something like that and they say, so what, like she hears voices? And I mean this sincerely.

• 28:42Speaker 02

  Right.

• 28:43Ed Mylett?

  What, how, cuz I, I've asked a lot of believers this.

• 28:45Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:46Ed Mylett?

  How is it that you get an answer? Is it, is it, you feel something? Do you think you audibly hear something? Is it just your discernment kicks in and there's a sense of direction or certainty about it? I think a lot of people would really be interested as to how that sort of plays out or manifests itself with you. And over, oh, probably over your life, you've become very accustomed to whatever that sense is that you have.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I would call it that. It's, it's a sense. I do not hear God's voice audibly. Wish I, wish I would. I haven't, um, but a lot of times it's, it's.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  What we feel when we feel our conscience, you can feel conviction. Maybe your heart pitter-patters a little bit faster. Maybe your palms get sweaty. Sometimes there's a physical reaction in that way. But it's, you know, when you, when you walk into a room and maybe it's scary looking in there. You kind of, there's something in your being that says, hey, the, the red flags are going up or the hair on your arm stands up, hey, this isn't right. It's kind of the same feeling. So when I'm praying and I'm talking to God, a lot of times, again, I don't hear a physical voice, but sometimes I don't necessarily hear anything. And to me, that just means it's a go. There's no red flag coming up.

• 30:05Speaker 02

  So if I'm praying through this or have a decision to make and I'm saying, God, this is, this is what I'm gonna do. I said, tell, tell me if you don't want me to. And if I don't hear anything, then I go, great, it's a go. When I feel something that I go, ah, I'm gonna halt, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna think about this some more. It's kind of that reaction of your conscience or just when you get a red flag, maybe it's in your gut. It can be anything. And then the most important part, because then I know, all of us can say, well, this is the answer I really want, so I'm just gonna make myself believe that this is what God wants too. I'm gonna convince myself of it.

• 30:48Speaker 02

  We can all so easily do that. So then I actually have to look in the Bible and make sure that that, that decision that I'm making, hey, is, does this go against anything that God would say for me to do? Is this go against God? Would, would God not be pleased with this? And can I find an example of that in the Bible? That's how you self-check.

• 31:08Ed Mylett?

  What's been the hardest part of your life? You seem to have such a rich life right now. I look at you, I think, you know, it seems like she's got unbelievable family life, her faith life, her career's kicking butt, she's in great shape, she's about to turn 50, she's seeming very happy. But everybody goes through a valley of some type. When was yours or what was it, if you don't mind me asking?

• 31:27Speaker 02

  I feel very, very blessed in this, I, I mean, I just do. I've, um, and I'm so grateful, I have so much gratitude. I mean, I would say one of the...

• 31:43Speaker 02

  I have a couple of times, I mean, there's been personal life things. Even, you know, within my marriage with Val, thirty years, you go through ups and downs. We've had some valleys in that area.

• 31:59Ed Mylett?

  Wow, your face just changed right there.

• 32:01Speaker 02

  Did it?

• 32:02Ed Mylett?

  Oh, yeah, it did. Absolutely. Okay.

• 32:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:05Ed Mylett?

  Please, keep going, but your face definitely changed right there.

• 32:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'm so grateful that we walked through that valley and we came back up, because it's... It's just, that's been the biggest blessing, you know?

• 32:21Speaker 02

  And I would say professionally, we talked about it a little bit, but some of the hits that I've gone through, it's when the media's narrative is very different than reality, and your character is thrown into the garbage. You know, that very much happened to me about four years ago, and it was just a real... It was a very difficult season for me. And I still feel the ramifications of that today, although not nearly as strong, and I've kind of walked through it, but it took a major hit and a blow.

• 33:03Ed Mylett?

  I'm unfamiliar. Did you take a stand for something and got some heat for it?

• 33:08Speaker 02

  Yes and no, but, yeah, I always hate talking about it, because then it gets brought up.

• 33:13Ed Mylett?

  We'll cut it out.

• 33:15Speaker 02

  It gets brought back up, and it's like, we want that to go away.

• 33:19Ed Mylett?

  Okay.

• 33:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, there was, I left, I was with the Hallmark Channel for fifteen years, and then I left to join the Great American Family Channel. And also had an opportunity to help this channel grow, became their chief creative officer, and it was, it's a place where they focus on movies of faith, and that became important to me. And during that transition...

• 33:53Speaker 02

  There were headlines as to why I left that weren't true.

• 33:58Ed Mylett?

  Got it.

• 33:59Speaker 02

  And so they just ran a narrative. That was completely untrue, that really focused on my faith, but in the most negative ways and things. Again, not true.

• 34:11Ed Mylett?

  Got you.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  So, um, that was devastating because you can't, you know, once you try to defend your own character, you, you, you can't do that.

• 34:18Ed Mylett?

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:19Speaker 02

  Other people have to defend it for you, or you just, you just walk through it.

• 34:23Ed Mylett?

  Yeah.

• 34:23Speaker 02

  And, yeah, like, I had to take a time out of like, God, how do I deal with this? How do I handle this? Because it hurt.

• 34:31Ed Mylett?

  That's sort of what I meant earlier, uh, with the digital age and social media. So things can get out there and then the noise of the negative is never, ever, it's never as noisy when the clarification happens.

• 34:43Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:43Ed Mylett?

  Or when the truth comes out, the noise of the negative is always more than the positive, it seems like.

• 34:47Speaker 02

  Well, oh, it is, a hu- it, it is a hundred percent. And you also can't, once someone's convinced of something, you, you really can't change their mind.

• 34:57Ed Mylett?

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:57Speaker 02

  I mean, we see that in politics.

• 34:58Ed Mylett?

  Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah, I stay off of that topic most of the time.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:02Ed Mylett?

  So there are a lot of this surrounds your faith, though. So a lot of what we talked about today is around faith.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:08Ed Mylett?

And so, in all candor, I've told my audience this, I've always been a believer. But like any relationship, like you talked about with Valerie, by the way, when I said

• 37:21Ed Mylett?

  your face changed, it was almost a look of like, "Thank you, God, for pulling us through this because I love this man so much."

• 37:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:26Ed Mylett?

  That was the look that I saw, but I definitely saw a look.

• 37:29Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:29Ed Mylett?

  And in many ways, it was a beautiful look, but the sense of like, "Thank you for whatever that time was pulling us through it, you're so grateful." But I wonder, have you ever doubted your faith or had ups and downs in it? Has there ever been a time where you were at a low and you're like, "God, why are you doing this to me?"

• 37:44Speaker 02

  That, yes.

• 37:46Ed Mylett?

  Okay.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  But I've never doubted my faith.

• 37:49Ed Mylett?

  Okay.

• 37:50Speaker 02

  And again, I don't say that boastfully, but I just, just because things aren't going my way has never made me feel like, "God, you don't exist," or, you know, it's the age-old question, "Why does God allow bad things happen? Why do bad things happen to good people?" And I know that there's just some mysteries that we won't know until we see Him face to face. But, so I've never doubted my faith. I can't look around the world and just creation in itself and not, and ever believe that this all happened.

• 38:29Speaker 02

  By some explosion randomly in the world. I ca- that that doesn't connect with my brain, so I've never questioned God's existence. But I've certainly had times where I'm like, God, why? Like, why this? Why would you allow me to walk through this, or that person to walk through this? Or why isn't there more relief in these areas? And I, I know that God's not scared of any of those questions. He goes, ask them.

• 38:59Ed Mylett?

  Gosh, you're good, Candace. So, one thing I've noticed about you, we don't have that much more time, but I, I develop these theories when I talk to people. And one of the things that I believe about successful people in general is that there's not a lot of conditions to their beliefs or their performance. Let me tell you what I mean. The best athletes I've ever been around, their effort is unconditional. Meaning that if they're up twenty-five to three, or they're down twenty-five to three, they're still giving their best.

• 39:34Ed Mylett?

  I think the best marriages that I've watched, it's not always conditional on how the other person is behaving, or, or their partner is acting at the same time. Faith, it's not conditional on whether life is going the way you'd like it to at the time. In other words, I believe in God when things are going great, not so much when they're not. And so as I watch you, one of the things I think I admire in this short time is that you seem not to be a conditional person. Meaning, your marriage isn't conditional, your career isn't conditional, and everything lighting up, everybody liking you. Your relationship with God doesn't seem to be based on conditions suiting you all the time. Is that a fair thing to say, and do you agree with that?

• 40:14Speaker 02

  Yes, very fair. I absolutely agree.

• 40:19Speaker 02

  I love, I mentioned Paul in the Bible, the Apostle Paul earlier, and I love reading the books that are in the Bible that he wrote, because I look at such a faithful man. That loved God so much and yet his life only got worse. The amount, I mean, the amount of abuse and torture and beatings and jail time up until death. And yet, he became more and more humble. Throughout his entire life until the very end of it. And it is inspiring to me and I.

• 41:04Speaker 02

  I wanna run the race well. That is what's most important to me. I, I. I look at the life that I've been given and I think about, oh, God, if you give me a hundred years to live. I wanna run it well and I don't wanna get to the end and, and peter out. I don't wanna get to the end and say, what was it all for? I wanna run the race with joy and encourage others along the way to do the same. And run with passion and heart, knowing that my arms are wide open and gods are wide open going, come on, come on. I'm the finish line. I'm the finish line. I'm the medal. I'm the goal.

• 41:49Speaker 02

  Like, that's the race for me.

• 41:53Ed Mylett?

  Come on now. What are you trying to do to me right here? That is so beautiful and so good. Can I give you confirmation on something?

• 42:01Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 42:01Ed Mylett?

  You're gonna trip out right now and then I'll ask you one more thing. I probably should finish on that because there's no way it's gonna get higher than that.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 42:07Ed Mylett?

  But I gotta ask you, that was, I actually felt that, like in my body. That was awesome. But I gotta tell you, so yesterday. I had some free time. I took this survey. There's this online survey and you answer all these questions. And then at the end, it tells you what person in the Bible you're most like. I'm like, I wonder who I'm gonna be. I was Paul. Isn't that interesting? And then you bring that up of all the people on the show. That means this is like prophetic interlude here in our conversation today. Of course, I'm far more screwed up than even that Paul. But I was Paul, which was cool. Okay, that beautiful thing you just said about running the race and that God's the medal and God's the prize. Let's say someone's listening to this right now and they go, I want to run the race better. And what a beautiful conversation the two of you have had.

• 42:50Ed Mylett?

  And if I ran into Candace at Starbucks and I said, I heard you on the Ed Mylett Show. And the last thing that you talked about was running the race and getting the medal. I wish Ed would have asked you, where do I begin? And so I'm going to ask that question on behalf of them to finish. If someone's saying, I want to do that too. I want to run the good race. I want to get at the end and well done, good and faithful servant. What would you say to that person who says, where do I start? What do I do next Candace?

• 43:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. The very first place you start is right in your own heart, wherever you are. In that room. Close your eyes. Get in a peaceful place and just start talking to God. And you might not know what to say to God. And you can tell him that and say, God, I want to run this race and I don't know where to start. Could you lead me how? Could you show me? Could you, would you please set my heart and my mind on a path towards you? And to knowing you. And I think.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  It is about relationship. You said that earlier. It's a relationship and you got to spend time with God. Now, I could tell you a whole bunch of resources to then, that will enhance that. But you've got to just start with the person you want to get to know better and start in prayer towards him. And then I would encourage you to read the Bible. That is the most important place. And then again, there's a million podcasts and, and.

• 44:18Speaker 02

  All types of ways in which they can help you read and understand context within the Bible and, and going to church and having a Bible believing teaching church. All of those things are great enhancements and are important, I believe. In a biblical sense within community. But it really starts with your heart and you talking to God.

• 44:41Ed Mylett?

  Got to tell you, I. I've always been a fan of yours, but I really respect you after meeting you. I respect your boldness, what you stand for.

• 44:48Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 44:49Ed Mylett?

  And what you believe in. You're pretty damn awesome. Seriously.

• 44:52Speaker 02

  Oh, thanks. I'm blushing.

• 44:54Ed Mylett?

  No, this is truth. Where do people go find you? What should they be looking forward to be more connected with you? Where should we send them?

• 45:01Speaker 02

  Well, I am on socials.

• 45:03Ed Mylett?

  Let's do it.

• 45:04Speaker 02

• 45:11Ed Mylett?

  I know. I was hoping you'd say that.

• 45:13Speaker 02

  Just throw that in your podcast catcher. And then you can find my movies on Great American Family Channel.

• 45:20Ed Mylett?
