Unabashedly
This isn’t your typical wellness blog. It’s a space for truth-telling, inquiry, and deep reflection on what it means to build something meaningful—especially when the odds aren’t stacked in your favor. Created by Candace Sneed, a yoga teacher, coach, and unapologetic disruptor, Unabashedly explores the intersection of mindful movement, business ownership, cultural identity, and personal resilience.
Here, you’ll find stories from the mat and the margins—essays on naming and claiming your teaching, navigating ethics in modern yoga, building a business that actually feels aligned, and breaking cycles that no longer serve. Whether you’re a yoga practitioner, a teacher refining your craft, or a wellness entrepreneur carving your path, this blog offers insight, inspiration, and a nudge toward doing it your own way.
Expect unfiltered reflections, practical takeaways, and the occasional fire-starting question. No fluff. No fakery. Just honest conversation about what it means to lead, grow, and stay rooted in your why.
Welcome to Unabashedly - a blog where yoga, wellness and entrepreneurship meet real life.
