From Hamptons Tragedy to Life Coaching: Mom's Inspiring Comeback

Candice Miller has returned to the spotlight and revealed she is now a certified professional life coach, 11 months after she first went quiet and wiped her popular Mama and Tata blog

The Glamorous Mommy Blogger Who Lost It All: Now a Life Coach

In a shocking turn of events, Candice Miller, the infamous mommy blogger who vanished from social media after her husband's tragic death in their $12 million Hamptons mansion, has resurfaced with a new business venture. The glamorous mother-of-two has revealed that she is now a certified professional life coach, an astonishing 11 months after she first went quiet and wiped her popular Mama and Tata blog.

The news of Miller's new role comes as no surprise to those who follow the lives of the ultra-rich and famous. The "Mama and Tata" page, which was also a lifestyle brand, frequently showcased lavish displays of wealth, including $800 facials and celebrity workout classes, raking in a loyal following of aspirational viewers.

Her return to work comes as she builds a new life away from the ritzy Hamptons scene that she and her husband were accustomed to, brimming with glittering parties, private plane trips and luxury cars

However, behind the glitz and glamour, Miller's life was far from perfect. Her husband, Brandon Miller, took his own life on July 4th weekend last year, leaving Candice and their two children to pick up the pieces. The devastating news revealed that Brandon died owing a staggering $33.6 million, with only $8,000 left in the bank.

In a bizarre twist, it was later discovered that Brandon had taken out life insurance policies worth $15 million, which were paid out after his death. However, some of this money could be lost to legal fees and repayments as Candice works with lawyers to determine what debts she is on the hook for.

As if things weren't complicated enough, Miller was sued for $194,881 in unpaid rent from a Park Avenue apartment in New York where her family had lived since 2021. However, she argued that she didn't personally sign the lease and therefore shouldn't be liable for the debt.

Candice sold her Water Mill mansion in the Hamptons - Miller's main asset, for $12.8million.  They reportedly had about $12million in mortgages on the property

The scandalous news sent shockwaves through social media, with many wondering how Candice could have been oblivious to her husband's financial woes. Insiders claim that Brandon had taken out an estimated $20 million in unsecured loans, leaving his family facing a daunting financial reality.

But it seems that Candice is not letting the drama get her down. Sources close to the star reveal that she has moved on from the tragedy and is now thriving in Miami's social scene. She has relocated to a $10 million condominium overlooking the ocean, courtesy of her friend Alexander von Furstenberg, son of fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.

"Candice is weirdly okay," a socialite insider revealed. "She's at parties and events and dinners. She's not sitting at home wearing all black with the lights off or anything."

Back on the 4th of July weekend of 2024, Candice Miller's glamorous life was shattered when her husband Brandon Miller's body was found inside his Porsche in the garage of the family home

But what about the $12 million Hamptons mansion? The luxurious property, which reportedly had five mortgages totaling nearly $12 million, was sold for $12.8 million in December 2024.

Far from being a recluse, Candice has been spotted at high-end events and gatherings, including the Four Seasons Surf Club and Casa Tua. She's even been spotted working out and traveling with her two daughters.

Her return to social media on Monday evening sparked an influx of supportive messages from her loyal fans, who have been patiently waiting 11 months for her to break her silence.

"I'm a stranger to you but I pray for you and your girls often," one fan wrote. "So happy you're back," another added.

In a cryptic statement accompanying her first post on social media in 11 months, Candice shared a quote from French philosopher Albert Camus: "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer... And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger – something better, pushing right back."

The quote seems to be a message of resilience and hope, as Candice embarks on her new journey as a certified professional life coach.
