My Conversation with Candice Morgan: How Breaking Free from a Cult Led to Confidence and Purpose
What would you do if everything you thought you knew about life turned out to be wrong? For Candice Morgan, this wasn’t just a fleeting thought—it was the reality she faced when she found the courage to question her upbringing and leave behind a life that no longer served her. In my recent conversation with Candice on The I Heart My Life Show, she opened up about her remarkable journey from restriction to empowerment, from fear to freedom.
Candice grew up in a strict religious cult and later entered a marriage marked by poverty and her husband’s alcoholism. Her story isn’t just about the pain she endured—it’s about the courage she found to walk away and rebuild her life from scratch. Today, she’s a thriving business development expert and inspirational speaker, living proof that even the most challenging circumstances can lead to extraordinary growth.
If you’re feeling stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like your own, Candice’s story will remind you that it’s never too late to rewrite your narrative.
Breaking Free and Rewriting the Narrative
Candice shared how her journey began in California, where she was raised in a strict religious cult. As a young adult, she married and moved to rural Mexico, where she faced poverty and the struggles of living with an alcoholic spouse. But despite the harsh circumstances, Candice began to question everything she had been taught. She knew there had to be something more to life.
In 2020, she made the courageous decision to leave both the cult and her marriage. She didn’t know what the future held, but she took the leap, relocating to Georgia, where she discovered she was pregnant. This pivotal moment became the catalyst for her transformation, and from there, she began to build a new life—one rooted in self-belief and purpose.
Candice’s story is a reminder that sometimes the most transformative moments come when we take a leap of faith into the unknown.
Turning Pain Into Power
What I find so inspiring about Candice’s journey is her ability to turn her pain into power. Despite facing enormous challenges, she discovered a hidden talent in sales—a skill she developed during her years in the cult while working to convert others to its beliefs. This unexpected talent became the foundation of her career in business development, allowing her to not only rebuild her life but also excel in an industry that once seemed out of reach.
Candice’s ability to leverage her unique experiences and turn them into strengths is something we can all learn from. It’s proof that our greatest challenges can become the stepping stones to our greatest successes.
Embracing “Prumble”
One of the most valuable lessons Candice shared was her concept of “prumble,” a combination of pride and humility. Candice explained that “prumble” has been a guiding principle for her, helping her stay grounded and authentic while thriving in high-stakes environments. It’s not about arrogance or false humility—it’s about finding the balance that allows you to be confident in your abilities while remaining humble and open to growth.
If you want to succeed in intimidating spaces, Candice’s philosophy of “prumble” is a powerful tool for building both inner strength and external success.
How to Rewrite Your Own Story
If you’re feeling stuck, unsure of where to begin, or looking to create a new chapter in your life, here are some steps inspired by my conversation with Candice:
- Identify What’s Holding You Back: Reflect on the beliefs or situations that are keeping you stuck. Awareness is the first step toward making a change.
- Make the Bold Decision: Whether it’s leaving a relationship, a job, or a belief system, sometimes the first step toward freedom is making a difficult choice. Trust yourself and take the leap.
- Leverage Your Strengths: Look at your past experiences—what skills have you developed that can help you succeed in a new chapter? Candice used her sales skills to propel her career, and you likely have untapped strengths you can draw upon.
- Embrace “Prumble”: Start balancing confidence with humility. Be proud of what you’ve achieved while staying open to learning and growing.
Final Thoughts
Candice Morgan’s story is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, no matter what obstacles you face, you have the power to rewrite your own story.
