Candid Conversations 133: Reincarnation? Or Nothing After Death?

If you truly believed in reincarnation—or that nothing exists after death—how would you live your life differently? In this thought-provoking episode, Can asks Dan to reflect on how their past evangelical worldview shaped the way they lived, and how a shift in beliefs about the afterlife changes everything about the present. This conversation explores purpose, fear, and what it really means to live fully when you stop living for eternity.If you’re ready to learn how to heal yourself after leaving a toxic religion and reclaim your power, reach out to Can at https://stan.store/candidcoaching for a free hypnotherapy consultation call.  #CandidConversations #AfterlifeBeliefs #Reincarnation #SpiritualDeconstruction #EvangelicalToFree #Purpose #AuthenticLiving #SpiritualGrowth Email us: Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid SubstackCandi Jar: https://stan.store/candidcoaching

Dan & Can Podcast 144: Holy Fear & Halloween: When Faith Gets Spooked

In this Halloween-themed episode of the Dan & Can Podcast, we dive into the irony of Christians fearing Halloween while their entire religion centers around death, sacrifice, and resurrection.We share and react to a few TikToks (be patient with us—we’re learning the feature!) that highlight the yearly outrage over Halloween, where some believers insist that celebrating it opens the door to evil.Can also brings out some vintage Chick tracts—the tiny comic books her parents used to hand out with Halloween candy—that taught kids that Jesus only loves you if you believe, and that trick-or-treating could be your one-way ticket to hell.What starts as a funny trip down memory lane turns into a deeper look at how fear-based faith shapes behavior, holidays, and even childhood joy.Lighthearted, nostalgic, and thought-provoking—this one’s a perfect blend of spooky and spiritual.If you’ve ever been told Halloween was “evil,” this episode might help you laugh—and heal—a little.Interested in facing your triggers, getting better sleep, or learning to regulate your nervous system in a natural, organic way?

Candid Conversations 132: What If They’re Wrong? A Deconstructing Response to an Evangelical Favorite

Every deconstructing Christian has heard it: “But what if you’re wrong?” It’s the go-to line when all else fails — a fear-based mic drop designed to shut down nuance and keep the conversation binary: either you’re right and we’re safe… or you're wrong and it’s eternal hellfire.But in this Candid Conversation, we turn the question around. What if they’re wrong? What if the afterlife isn’t as simple as heaven-or-nothing? What if other religions have their own versions of spiritual consequences? What if love, not fear, is the real invitation?We touch on the big religions — Islam, Hinduism, Judaism — and explore how each tradition views the “stakes” of belief. We reflect on the lack of nuance in fundamentalism, and how becoming more self-aware opens the door to deeper questions instead of shallow threats.This episode isn’t for converting Christians. It’s for you — the person navigating life after certainty — and offers thoughtful responses to a question you’ve probably heard more times than you can count.“What if you’re wrong?”Better question: What if they are?If you’re ready to learn how to heal yourself after leaving a toxic religion and reclaim your power, reach out to Can at https://stan.store/candidcoaching for a free hypnotherapy consultation call. #Deconstruction #SpiritualDeconstruction #ReligiousTrauma #WhatIfYoureWrong #Exvangelical #LifeAfterReligion #CandidConversations #FaithShift #FormerFundamentalist #DeconstructingChristianity #NuanceOverFear #EvangelicalExit #WhatIfTheyreWrong #PostReligionHealingEmail us: Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid SubstackCandi Jar: https://stan.store/candidcoaching

Dan & Can Podcast 143: When Words Lose Their Power: Are We Softening Abuse and Losing Free Speech?

In this open conversation, Dan and Can tackle a question few are willing to ask: Are we losing our freedom of speech—and the weight of truth—by softening our language for social media?We start lightheartedly with a chat about Halloween and growing up in conservative homes where even trick-or-treating came with moral warnings. From there, the conversation turns deep. We reflect on how “political correctness” shaped our generation, how euphemisms like “grape” for “rape” or “unalive” for “suicide” may protect algorithms but dilute reality, and whether our efforts to avoid offense might actually erase accountability.We suggest a return to trigger warnings instead of censorship—because trauma healing requires truth, not silence. Together, we ask:Are we truly protecting people, or just numbing the world into apathy?Interested in facing your triggers, getting better sleep, or learning to regulate your nervous system in a natural, organic way?

Candid Conversations 131

In this thought-provoking episode of Candid Conversations, we reflect on one of the most polarizing questions in theology and psychology:👉 Are humans born evil… or inherently good?We watch a TikTok that highlights the Evangelical belief that every person is born sinful—intrinsically corrupt from the womb—and contrast it with the worldview that people are born good, or at least neutral and shaped by experience.We explore how these opposing beliefs influence everything. If you believe people are born broken, you’ll see the world as something to fix or fight. If you believe people are born whole, you’ll see the world as something to nurture and heal.Can these two perspectives ever truly see eye to eye? Maybe not—but understanding where they come from might be the first step toward compassion.If you’re ready to learn how to heal yourself after leaving a toxic religion and reclaim your power, reach out to Can at https://stan.store/candidcoaching for a free hypnotherapy consultation call. #CandidConversations #FaithDeconstruction #BornGood #EvangelicalBeliefs #ReligiousTrauma #FearBasedFaith #HumanNature #SpiritualHealing #DeconstructingChristianity #TraumaInformedFaith #EmpathyOverFear #CandidPodcast #InnerHealing #NervousSystemHealing #RewriteTheStoryEmail us: Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid SubstackCandi Jar: https://stan.store/candidcoaching

Dan & Can Podcast 142: Manifestation vs. Wishful Thinking: Faith, Action & Logic

In this episode of the Dan & Can Podcast, we dive into what manifestation really is—and what it isn’t. We begin with a conversation about how many people would rather feel “right” than be open to logic or growth. That led us into the world of manifestation, showing how it can be both logical and scientific when understood correctly.We break down the difference between true manifestation and the empty version often sold as “woo.” Dan shares an analogy comparing manifestation to a focused laser versus the scattered energy of a lightbulb.We also connect manifestation to faith—pointing out that faith is simply believing something is possible, but without actions to back it up, it’s going nowhere. Just like the old phrase says, “faith without works is dead,” manifestation without inspired action is fake.This conversation challenges the myths, reframes manifestation in practical terms, and shows you how belief + focus + action can lead to real change.Would you like help reprogramming old beliefs so you can manifest the life of your dreams?

Candid Conversations 130: Manifestation, Control, and the Nervous System: The Science Behind Creation

In this episode of Candid Conversations, we unpack what “manifestation” really means—without the buzzwords or spiritual fluff.We trace it back to our evangelical roots, where it went by names like prosperity gospel, word of faith, or the infamous “name it and claim it.” In that world, words were treated like spells—blessings or curses that could make or break your life. That mindset led to self-censorship, fear, and spiritual pressure to “speak only life.”Later, outside religion, we found the secular version—equally frustrating. Manifestation became a magical illusion of instant creation through positive thinking and pretty vision boards. Both extremes miss the truth.We explore how real manifestation is rooted in neuroscience and polyvagal theory—your nervous system’s state determines your capacity to see, create, and respond to new possibilities. When you’re in fight, flight, or freeze, your body isn’t open to change or inspiration. But when you regulate and reconnect, you expand your awareness—and your ability to shape your reality.We also discuss how systems of power benefit from keeping people dysregulated, reactive, and disconnected. The path to personal and collective freedom starts with nervous system regulation.This is the science—and the revolution—of peace.If you’re ready to learn how to regulate your nervous system and reclaim your power, reach out to Can at https://stan.store/candidcoaching for a free hypnotherapy consultation call. Your nervous system is the foundation of the revolution.#CandidConversations #ManifestationMyth #PolyvagalTheory #NervousSystemHealing #FaithDeconstruction #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #WordOfFaith #ProsperityGospel #TraumaInformedHealing #NeuroscienceOfChange #MindBodyConnection #CalmIsTheRebellion #HypnotherapyWorks #CollectiveHealing #EmotionalRegulationEmail us: Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid SubstackCandi Jar: https://stan.store/candidcoaching

Dan & Can Podcast 141: Waking Up to the Matrix: What Deconstruction Taught Us About Power

Deconstruction isn’t just about religion — it’s about waking up.In this episode, Dan and Can explore how deconstructing from fundamentalist beliefs felt like waking up to the Matrix. We talk about how we’ve reclaimed our power, how fear of authority no longer controls us, and how the system thrives only when we remain divided.We dig into the way weak, insecure leaders cling to hierarchy and control, and how true spiritual resurrection happens when we lose our old life and find something real, grounded, and free.We believe the revolution starts within — and that those of us who’ve unplugged from the machine are here to live differently, not with more fear, but with deeper awareness, compassion, and a refusal to worship power.This is the resurrection story we weren’t allowed to tell — until now.If this episode woke something up in you, don’t keep it to yourself.Share it with someone else who’s questioning the system — and subscribe for more real talk every week.Would you like help deconstructing or reprogramming old beliefs?

Candid Conversations 129:Beyond Boredom: Real Growth Outside the Comfort Zone

In this Candid Conversation, we talk about the fallout from yet another failed rapture prediction — this time, September 243rd/24th. For many, this date was supposed to mark their escape from the world. But here we are… still here.We explore how rapture theology has deeply damaged not only individuals and their families, but also the collective. When people are fixated on leaving Earth instead of helping heal it, they withhold their talents, disengage from collective progress, and sometimes actively sabotage efforts like climate action.We also look at the emotional aftermath for those left disillusioned, confused, or doubling down. Will they explain it away and keep following the same voices? Or will they start to ask deeper questions?This episode is for anyone recovering from end-times indoctrination and asking:“If I’m still here… now what?”If this hit home, you’re not alone.

Dan & Can Podcast 139: Thicker Than Water? Rewriting the Family Narrative

 You’ve heard it said: “Blood is thicker than water.” But did you know that’s a misquote? The full phrase is: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”This episode dives deep into what that really means—especially when you're in a season of deconstruction, healing, and cycle-breaking. We get personal about our own family experience involving narcissism, codependency, and slander—and how even the darkest moments can become the soil for growth when you refuse to play the same old roles.You’ll learn how nervous system flexibility is a key sign of healing and how spiritual and emotional “covenant” bonds can sometimes run deeper than biology.✨ Want support on your deconstruction or healing journey?

Dan & Can Podcast 138: Hate Isn’t the Problem — Fear of the Unknown Is"

We’ve all heard the phrase “love over hate” — but what if hate isn’t the root issue at all? In this episode of the Dan & Can Podcast, we unpack the deeper truth: most hate is simply fear in disguise.Whether it’s fear of different cultures, skin colors, sexualities, beliefs, or places we’ve never been… our subconscious reacts with resistance when it lacks familiarity or a program to run. That resistance shows up as judgment, defensiveness — and often, hate.But the solution isn’t shame or avoidance — it’s desensitization. Exposure. Curiosity. The willingness to explore what feels unfamiliar until it's no longer threatening.🧠 Ready to reprogram your subconscious and break free from fear-based reactions?👉 Book a free hypnotherapy consultation with Can today https://stan.store/candidcoachingLet’s rewire fear into understanding — together. #FearVsHate #FearOfTheUnknown #DanAndCanPodcast #Deconstruction #MindsetShift #SubconsciousReprogramming #Neuroplasticity #SocialJusticeHealing #OvercomeFear #HypnotherapyHealing#SpiritualDeconstruction #ChristianDeconstruction #HealingThroughCuriosity #EmotionalAwareness #HypnotherapyWorks #UnlearnAndRelearn #StopTheCycle #MindBodyConnection #HealingPodcastEmail us: Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid Substack

Candid Conversations 127: Learning to Think: How Real Debates Build Critical Thinking & Calm

In this episode of Candid Conversations, we explore the power of respectful debate in building both emotional regulation and critical thinking. When done well, debates allow us to witness opposing viewpoints without spiraling into fight-or-flight mode.Many of us—especially those raised in high-control environments—were taught what to think, not how to think. But real, skillful debates offer us a unique opportunity to develop the tools we were never given: logic, nuance, and emotional composure in the face of disagreement.We discuss how exposing yourself to conversations where both sides are genuinely heard can help heal the nervous system, encourage curiosity, and even expand our capacity for empathy. If you've been deconstructing and want to grow in wisdom without re-entering cycles of fear or reactivity, this one's for you.Subscribe to Candid Conversations for more thought-provoking episodes—and if this one resonated, share it with someone who’s learning how to think for themselves too. Want to go further?

Dan & Can Podcast 140: Bridging the Divide: Why Deconstructors Might Be the Culture’s Best Hope

In this episode of the Dan and Can Podcast, we explore how those of us who have deconstructed from fundamentalist religion may be uniquely equipped to help bridge the deepening political divide.We’ve lived on one side of the ideological spectrum — many of us were raised in conservative echo chambers — and we’ve also come out the other side, where we’ve heard the voices of the far left. And the truth is, both sides have toxic elements… but also, both sides hold real concerns that get lost in the shouting.In light of recent events, including the murder of Charlie Kirk, we're seeing both extremes retreat deeper into fear, blame, and dehumanization. This moment calls for people like us — people willing to hold tension, create space, and stay curious — to lead the way in humanizing one another again.It’s uncomfortable.It’s messy.But if you've done the work of deconstruction, you've already proven you're willing to face discomfort for the sake of truth.We believe this is the spiritual work of this time. Not to shame or silence others, but to hold the middle and invite nuance back into the conversation.Want to reprogram the subconscious beliefs that keep you stuck in survival mode or us-vs-them thinking?

Dan & Can Podcast 137: Curiosity Isn't a Sin: Why Asking "Why?" Matters

In this episode of the Dan and Can Podcast, we explore the quiet rebellion of asking why. Many of us were raised in environments—especially religious ones—where certainty was prized, and curiosity was punished. Questioning was framed as doubt, and doubt was framed as sin. But what if curiosity isn’t dangerous? What if it’s sacred?Curiosity is how we evolve, how we learn, and how we awaken. It's not about having all the answers—it's about reclaiming the freedom to ask better questions. Join us as we talk about moving from rigid certainty to liberating exploration, from "this is the truth" to "let's find out together."Whether you're deconstructing your faith, rethinking your values, or just learning to trust your own thoughts—you’ll find this episode both validating and empowering.Want to explore your own beliefs in a safe, judgment-free space? 📞 Book a free hypnotherapy consultation with Can at https://danandcan.com/page/free-consultation-call and begin reprogramming the subconscious patterns that no longer serve you.#DanAndCan #ReligiousDeconstruction #CuriosityIsSacred #FaithToFreedom #AskBetterQuestions #DeconstructionJourney #SpiritualAwakening #QuestionEverything #HypnotherapySupport #CandidHypnotherapy #staycuriosEmail us: ⁠DroptheStones@gmail.com⁠ or Candace@DanandCan.comWebsite: ⁠https://danandcan.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwo81prdWtTl29X5ffC73wSubstack: With Love Candid Substack

But any emotion that gets shoved down has to go somewhere — and often, it stays in the body.We explore how emotional suppression is praised with the evangelical walls and why this is a detriment to women and men.This is an invitation to stop spiritually bypassing, stop performing, and start getting honest — with yourself first.If you’re ready to stop bottling it up and start healing from the inside out, book a free consultation call with Can at https://danandcan.com/page/free-consultation-call.

Dan & Can Podcast 135: "Unstick Yourself: Reprogramming Your Subconscious"

Ever feel like you're stuck, even though you really want change?
