Hello and welcome to another episode of the Chris Terrell podcast. I am your host Chris Terrell. And today I have a very

exciting episode for me actually because I'm going to introduce you to somebody that I've never

had the opportunity to introduce you to before. And that is my wonderful wife, Candace. Now my wife,

Candace, has had a wonderful journey of her own, and by wonderful,

I mean, it's led to wonderful places, but it has not been an easy one. She's had a lot of things

to work through and overcome in her life, just like me and many of us have to. And I wanted to

share her story with you. Now, a little backstory about her. She and I met several years

ago, and it was a fun way of meeting. I want to tell you a story about how we met before we

jumped to the podcast. I was not looking to get into a relationship. In fact, I was up front

with people that I am building a business. I have no time for a relationship. This is what I'm doing. And so I told anybody I went on a date with right away that. So that way, they just knew what they were getting into. If they were looking for something serious, I'm not your guy. I'm just, you know, if we want to casually date, that's okay. But my work is coming first right now. And so we met. I even broke

one of my rules. We went to see a movie. So normally don't go to movies on first dates because that's

a lot of opportunities for talking when you do that. But it went great. We had some opportunities to

talk before. We really hit it off and came time to the end of the date and I'm going to be a gentleman and I park in the back of parking lots. And I'm figuring no matter where she parked, I parked further because I always park in the back and when I, I'm like, I'll have to walk by her car on the way. So I'll walk her to her car. And she immediately was a little hesitant, which I thought was interesting. I'm like, well, that's interesting to want me to walk into your car. And she said, well, I park in the back. And I was like, really? She goes, yeah, I like to park in the back to get my steps. And in my head, I'm like, say, what? I've never heard anybody else do this and you're doing this. And I was like, really?

Me too. Like, I park in the back to get steps in. And so we start walking. We get all the way to the back of the parking lot. And she is parked in the back of the parking lot right next to me. And in fact fact she was parked one spot further than me so

technically she parked further than i did now right away i was like there's something special about

this one because like i never run into people to do this and this is like one of my things

and uh so we came up a little bit that she had lost some way we didn't really dig into that and

she didn't know what i did or what i do or anything like that at this time. And, but the rest is history. We ended up seeing each other again. We were, we said, hey, we're not looking for anything serious. And but we just, we liked each other, right? I mean, when it's right, it's right. And sometimes when Mr. Wright or Mrs. Wright walks into your life, you don't get to pick that time.

It just happens when it's right, it's right. And sometimes when Mr. Wright or Mrs. Wright walks into your life, you don't get to pick that time. It just happens when it happens.

And we met and hit it off, and things have been, it's just been a wonderful journey ever since we came together. But my wife had her own weight loss journey before she and I met. And I've been really

enjoying sharing stories from

real people giving real life situations to help you kind of make the idea of success with a
