Chewbacca Mom 10 Years Later: Faith, Fame & Defiant Joy | Nick’s Right Podcast

#ChewbaccaMom #CandacePayne #NicksRightPodcast Ten years after her infectious laugh took over the internet, the original Chewbacca Mom, Candace Payne, joins Nick’s Right Podcast for an unforgettable conversation about viral fame, faith, family and choosing defiant joy. Candace’s 2016 Facebook Live video became one of the biggest viral moments in internet history, earning tens of millions of views almost overnight and eventually reaching hundreds of millions of people across multiple platforms. But what happened after the laughter stopped? Candace takes us behind the mask and reveals what it was like going from complete obscurity to receiving calls from James Corden, Good Morning America, the BBC and other major outlets. She also shares the story of her original Chewbacca mask, which was signed by James Corden, J.J. Abrams and the late Peter Mayhew. This episode goes much deeper than viral fame. Candace opens up about: • Coming to Christ at six years old • Experiencing homelessness during childhood • Attending 23 elementary schools • Discovering joy in the middle of hardship • Her late-in-life ADHD diagnosis • Rejecting the idea that her mind was made “wrong” • Losing 138 pounds after a diabetes diagnosis • Navigating motherhood, marriage and aging parents • Her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s • Writing books about freedom and defiant joy • Finding God’s purpose behind an unexpected viral moment Candace explains why faith in Christ is not simply a tool for making life easier—it is the foundation of her entire life.
