Introduction

Olivia Howell: Hello, hello! Welcome back to Divorce Happens, the podcast where we support you with education, information, and a little bit of laughter—because as we know, divorce happens, and then you start fresh. Today, we’re here with one of our wonderful Fresh Starts experts, Candice. Candice, can you tell us about what you do?

Candice: Sure! First, thank you for having me on. I’m very excited to be here. I know that divorce happens, and part of what I do is energy healing. Through energy healing, we can help lessen the burden that divorce brings to individuals.

What is Emotion Code & Body Code?

Olivia: I love that! I’ve personally done a lot of work with you and attended many of your events. I always say you’re the closest thing to a real-life good witch! Before we dive into energy healing, you do something very specific—what is Emotion Code and Body Code?

Candice: Great question. Emotion Code is a modality that helps identify and release emotions that have become trapped in the body. As we go through life, we experience trauma and life events, and sometimes, we don’t fully process our feelings around them. These emotions can become stuck, sometimes even inherited from past generations. Through Emotion Code, we can identify and release these trapped emotions quickly and easily, creating an energetic shift that many people feel almost immediately.

Olivia: That’s incredible. I’ve done it myself, and even my kids have joined in sessions with you! When we go through major life changes like divorce, we don’t just carry new emotional baggage—we carry a lifetime of it. Can you explain the connection between our emotional and spiritual baggage and how it manifests physically?

How Emotional Baggage Manifests in the Body

Candice: Absolutely. Let’s start with the physical side. I actually came to Emotion Code because of physical pain I was experiencing. Divorce is a heavy time in life, and that emotional weight often shows up in the body—tight shoulders, tension headaches, migraines, stomach issues. When we hold onto unprocessed emotions, our body carries that burden, sometimes leading to chronic pain or illness.

Olivia: That makes so much sense.

Candice: On the spiritual side, we also form energetic cords with people—especially those we love or have been deeply connected to. These cords can be positive, but when a relationship ends or turns toxic, those cords can become draining and even cause discomfort or illness. Through Body Code work, we can identify and clear these connections when they are no longer serving us.

Olivia: I love that perspective. We carry so much, often without realizing it! So, what can people do to start releasing this baggage?

How Energy Healing Works

Candice: This is where energy work comes in. I work with the subconscious mind, using muscle testing and a pendulum to identify what emotions are trapped, when they got trapped, and where they are in the body. Then, we release that energy using a simple but powerful technique over the governing meridian—starting at the lip and swiping over the head and spine. It’s gentle but highly effective, and most people feel lighter and brighter after a session.

Olivia: It’s truly magic. Watching you use your pendulum is mesmerizing—it’s almost meditative! For someone listening and thinking, "I need this!"—how can they work with you?

Candice: Everything I do is remote, so sessions are conducted over Zoom. You can visit my website to learn more and book a session. There are plenty of testimonials there, too. I also offer a special Heart Wall Release Package, which typically takes 3-5 sessions to fully clear emotional barriers that people build up over time.

Heart Wall Release & Healing Post-Divorce

Olivia: Can you explain more about the Heart Wall Release and why it’s so important for people going through divorce?

Candice: Yes! Our Heart Wall is an energetic barrier we unconsciously build to protect ourselves from emotional pain. Over time, it can become so thick that it blocks love, connection, and joy. In people going through divorce, I often see this manifest as high blood pressure, migraines, anxiety, or even physical tightness in the chest. Through my Heart Wall Release Package, we gently take down that wall layer by layer, allowing healing to happen at a deeper level.

Olivia: That makes so much sense. You also have a podcast, right?

Candice: Yes! My podcast is called Healers with Humor, where my co-host and I talk about all things energy, healing, and self-care—with a little laughter along the way. Healing can feel heavy, but we believe it should also be light and joyful!

Healing for Parents & Children

Olivia: Something I love about you is how authentic you are. You don’t just say, “I can heal you” without acknowledging your own journey. You’ve done the work yourself, and that’s why people trust you. If someone is listening and going through a divorce, what words of encouragement would you share with them?

Candice: You don’t have to do this alone. Divorce can feel incredibly isolating, but there is a community of support out there. Finding your people—whether it’s healers, friends, or therapists—makes all the difference. Also, if you have children, remember that your healing benefits them, too. Even if they don’t do energy healing themselves, watching you take care of your emotional wellness sets a powerful example.

Olivia: I love that. My kids have even picked up on energy work just from being around it! Thank you, Candice, for everything you do. Your work is life-changing, and we’re so lucky to have you in the Fresh Starts community. We’ll include all your links in the show notes. Thank you for being here!

Candice: Thank you so much for having me!
