matcha morning ?+ an excerpt: one day soon after, as I was writing this book in New York City, I received a message from someone named Sarah, a perfect stranger who worked in the wellness industry. She invited me on a trip to Hana, Maui, called “the immersion.” This trip was as mysterious as ever. I had no idea who else would be there, and what exactly they wanted from me. I almost politely passed on the opportunity, but something inside urged me to accept.
I packed up my bags & flew the nearly 5,000 miles to the magical island of Maui. When I landed, I was greeted by the staff for “the immersion” and began to meet the other guests.

There were fifty guests in all, and over the course of three days, we were encouraged to work on self-improvement through group workshops. The only thing considered mandatory was to simply be present.
By the third day, we had all learned so much about one another. We had shared deep-rooted pain, illness, personal struggles, deep loss, & deaths in our families—everything. Midway through our class that day, our instructor asked if anything had come up for us. Everyone fell silent.
The truth was, a lot had come up for me. In the time leading up to the immersion, I had been having a hard time. In my personal life, I’d recently experienced a tremendous heartbreak & I was still struggling to heal.
Though I hadn’t felt comfortable sharing my story, a tiny little voice inside me said, “Go, Candice, it’s your turn. It’s okay.” I took a deep breath, and slowly walked to the front of the class. Forty-nine pairs of eyes were all on me. I started to tremble & my palms were super-clammy, but I found the courage to tell my story. “Hi guys, I’m Candice. I’m from New York City by way of San Diego,” I started. “About a year ago...." New book drops 4-17
