Hi I Am Kandis.

I’m just a bad-ass, strong willed girl…trying to figure out who the hell I am here.

I am living authentically in every way. Some people can’t deal with it. I say love me anyway.

My Girl Gang

My Girl Gang

There are bonds in life that are simply unbreakable, no matter how turbulent the journey. For us, that bond is the girl gang—my daughters, Elle and Ava, and the strength we find together. We've been through so much individually and together. Life has thrown challenges at us that could have shattered our spirits and spun us in directions we never expected. Yet, through every test, every heartbreak, and every trial, we have come back to one another. No matter how rough the waters, this girl gang remains the anchor that holds us steady.

Lately, we've been navigating one of the most difficult chapters of our lives. Ava’s injury—an event that turned our world upside down in ways words can barely capture—has tested every ounce of strength, patience, and hope we have. Watching her go through something so devastating has been heartbreaking beyond measure. Each day brings its own challenges, from painful moments of reality to glimmers of progress. But even in our darkest hours, we find our way back to each other. And that has been our greatest gift.

Elle, my brave, beautiful oldest, has taken on a role far beyond her years. She’s been there for Ava, for our family, and for me. She's stepped up with wisdom and grace, showing a depth of compassion and resilience I’m endlessly proud of. Elle’s been a guiding light, reminding me to breathe, to believe, and to find hope, even when it feels like it's slipping through our fingers.

Ava, our radiant dancer with dreams as boundless as the sky, has reminded us of the power of fighting through. Her courage and determination have been a beacon of hope. She’s the reason we find strength every day to face the unknown, to believe that brighter days are ahead.

These girls have saved me more times than I can count. They lift me up, shine a light when I’m lost in the dark, and remind me of my own strength when I forget it. They give me the courage to face the storms and the belief that, no matter what, our ship is meant to sail.

Thank you, Elle and Ava, for holding my hand when I crumble, for being my strength when I feel weak, and for loving me fiercely. We may not always know where this journey will take us, but I am forever grateful for the light you both bring to my life. Together, we are unbreakable.

No matter what storms may come, this girl gang has each other, always. We’re anchored together in love, and that’s something no wave can ever wash away.
