"I did an audible version of the book. So during the challenging times of Candi's life, I couldn't wait to go on a long errand or drive somewhere by myself to listen to the book every chance I could!
~Sheridan B.
"If you want to feel comfortable in your own skin, give this book a read! "
~J. Louis
"I can easily see this book being made into a motion picture film. NAKED is a powerful, inspiring true story that will keep the pages turning!"
~C. Zanders
This is my home that caught fire while my daughter and I were inside. 13 fire trucks responded, 2 firefighters went to the hospital, and a helicopter streamed the flames live to the news. In the end, everything was gone—my home, my car, my clothes & all my belongings—but by the grace of God, my daughter, my dog, and I made it out alive.

Candi Rose is an author, motivational speaker, coach, real estate investor, and full-time single mom.
Before stepping into the world of speaking, writing & coaching, she flipped hundreds of homes and even built multi-million-dollar mansions, including the one she’s proudly standing in front of in this photo.
As a college dropout with a criminal background and a survivor of severe trauma and abuse, Candi embodies the true spirit of an underdog who defied unbelievable odds and rose above her extreme challenges in life.
Her greatest passion now is empowering individuals to break free from their shame-filled pasts, speak their truth, and rebuild their self-worth, so they can fully step into their true selves and their calling in life.
This photo was taken on the day we were told to leave our home and my parents came to pick us up.
You wouldn't know it by how happy we look in this photo, but that's simply because even though I knew we were leaving with nothing, I was able to leave with the only thing that truly mattered... my baby.
I could have never in a million years imagined that I would end up as a full-time single mom raising a child completely on my own, but that is exactly what happened. In fact, if it weren't for my family taking us in, we could have ended up in a shelter or homeless.
At that very moment, I had no car, no money, no home, no job and barely any of my belongings.
It was a very humbling time in my life and at times I would just sit and cry, worrying how we were going to make it.
But eventually, I got back up and I decided to fight. I fought so hard to make an unbelievably amazing life for us and within 9 months, I was able to buy us a car and a home of our own(which strangely enough are in the photos above).
My life has been filled with an unbelievable number of rock-bottom moments, each presenting me with a simple decision: stay down, settle, and conform to society’s expectations of my failures, or get back up, place my faith in God, and fight like crazy to create the life of my dreams. I chose the latter.
What’s interesting is that each time, I (unknowingly) followed the same exact steps to rise again every single time- a framework that has now become the foundation of what I coach others to use to transform their lives.

Over the years, I’ve noticed a powerful trend while speaking to audiences of thousands.
After I finish, a line forms—people I’ve never met telling me it felt like I was speaking directly to them. Many open up about things they’ve rarely, if ever, spoken of. And as they share, I can see their relief, as if a weight has been lifted.
I’ve learned 3 key truths from these moments, that allow people to break their silence and speak their truth:
1. People need to know someone else has walked in their shoes and has made it to the other side. (They need someone they relate to)
2. They need a safe space to open up and share their hidden struggles. (They need a non-judgmental, compassionate ear)
3. They need to know they can receive clear guidance on what steps to take next. (They need an experienced mentor who can provide a clear road map or GPS, showing not only the fastest path forward but also the obstacles ahead—saving them time, money, and frustration along the way)
That’s what this call is about—helping you take the first step toward breaking your silence and isolation as well as laying out your next steps forward.
When you stop running from your past and embrace it, you begin to reclaim the power that somebody once took from you.
