Angelica shared with our hosts the moment she took her audience on a tour of her home, showcasing half of it, an environment she meticulously maintains organized. Then she went upstairs to the second floor and the story was different. Her rooms were filled with items she says she kept unorganized due to what she was going through. Rather than receiving the expected support and encouragement, she found herself facing backlash from some of her followers.

Despite sharing her vulnerability with the world, she received criticism for being perceived as ungrateful, raising questions about the societal stigmas surrounding mental health discussions.

In this episode, Candy Lover addresses the misconceptions and stigma associated with mental health, shedding light on the importance of understanding and supporting those who bravely share their struggles. Her openness is a reminder that influencers, no matter how glamorous their lives may seem, are also real people dealing with real issues.
