Candis Fox

“I don’t know where I’d be without Candis Fox. Candis helped me transition through one of the most difficult times and relationships in my life. As a trans person of color and community organizer, I needed someone who was proficient in social justice and anti-racism to help me combat a lot of painful actions in a very tender and important relationship. Candis was phenomenal, so well educated, compassionate with all parties, and also real, ensured accountability, equity, bodily safety, and was present with my nervous system throughout the process. I have never felt so professionally supported in my life. The outcome of the conflict with Candis’ support feels hopeful, healing, and exciting and I know has brought so much growth to everyone involved.”

“Candis doesn’t try to teach you what they know, they’re trying to help you discover what you know. I started working with them because I wanted to be a better person instead of just looking like one. I wanted to get out of my own way in my relationships – with people, with money, with power. Through our work together, I feel like I know myself better in those relationships and can show up more like me and not what other people think I should be. I no longer feel shame for having enough money to support myself, or any pressure to always use it “well” in ways that did not also serve my joy. Candis supported this exploration and growth in such a positive way with insightful, challenging questions, holding space for confronting difficult or shameful parts of myself, offering new perspectives on these discoveries, and celebrating the personal shifts that followed. The work we did began my shift away from fear-based thinking and into joy – by following my joy with money, I feel better about the way I use it now in my community. I can challenge the way I was raised and just be me and know that that’s enough.”

“I signed up to work with Candis to better understand my relationship to money. I released the awkward feelings I had and I now feel empowered by money and curious about how I can use money to energize myself and my community. I feel more comfortable engaging with the thing I was scared of – and that fear kept me from doing the good things I want to do with money. Candis is a magical human and I felt really connected to them in a way that felt powerful and made letting my shame go a lot easier. I am excited to have an understanding of how I have related to money in the past and how now I can use it more impactfully in the present and future.”
