Best of StRest: Candace Cameron Bure on Stress, Menopause and Letting Go of “Perfect”
Description
This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with actress, producer, and podcast host Candace Cameron Bure to talk about stress, success, and what it really looks like to protect your mental health in a life that looks “perfect” from the outside. Candace shares why she walked away from The View at the height of her career, how she chose her quality of life and family over a packed resume, and what it took to rebuild peace when burnout, overwork, and constant travel left her spirit “dying inside.”
From there, they get honest about 30 years of marriage that were not “picture perfect,” parenting teenagers in today’s culture, and navigating social media as a Christian public figure without letting criticism own you.
Candace opens up about long-term depression, disordered eating, and why walking, strength training, sleep, and magnesium became lifelines. She talks about prepping for menopause like a warrior—lifting heavier, dialing in macros and portions, limiting caffeine, and treating her body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Kerstin closes by inviting you to take inventory of your stress, cut one thing from your plate, and start a simple rhythm of walking, journaling, and asking God, “What do You want me to know? What do You want me to do?” so you can walk into your next season strong in body, mind, and faith.
