Hey there! Thanks for stopping by Now What, a personal blog of the real life anecdotes of a mom in trauma recovery. As much as I love to write about my life, talking about myself is incredibly difficult for me, but I’m going to give it my best shot.

I’m Candice, a full-time corporate employee, mom to 2 fiery girls (ages 20 mos and 3.5 yrs), an artist, an entrepreneur, cat mom, and a wife. I am equal parts thrilled and overwhelmed with the work-load I have given myself outside of corporate life. I have the privilege of working from home, which gives me so much extra time with my family (Pittsburgh rush hour is more like rush 4-hours), and I love filling my time being creative and/or working on the house. As far as other likes and interests….well, I’m working those out through this blog! I hope you’ll join me along the way as I figure out who exactly I am, removed and healed from the traumas of my childhood and the (mostly self-inflicted) tribulations of my youth.
