What if the most radical thing you could do was refuse to shrink? Conversations with Candice is the podcast where the talks go a little bit deeper. Hosted by two-time Sunday Times bestselling author, broadcaster and cultural commentator Candice Brathwaite, this is a space built for people who are done playing small and ready to rebuild on their own terms. Using the metaphor of building a house, each episode explores a different stage of reconstructing your life, from identity, boundaries and self-trust, to relationships, parenting, ambition, career and emotional healing. Candice speaks honestly about the experiences often left unspoken: parental estrangement, burnout, marriage, friendship and the relentless pressure to “hold everything together”. This isn’t a self-help podcast that lectures. It’s a conversation, warm, honest, sometimes funny and always real. Think auntie’s living room, but make it transformative. For the people navigating work, family, love and personal change who value emotional intelligence, cultural awareness and a no-b******t approach to growth. Remain Unrealistic.

    You're Seeking Approval From People Who Aren't Thinking About You

    We can't put a brick down yet! We need planning permission first. But in this episode, we're talking about the metaphorical kind.  Episode 4 is all about the invisible permission committee living rent-free in your head. You know the one; parents, friends, society, social media, and yes... even ghosts (people who haven't been in your life for years). We're diving deep into why so many of us are engaging in self-betrayal just to keep the committee happy, and why it's time to hand in your resignation.  Candice gets personal, from a two-year battle over unfollowing everyone on social media, to a nipple piercing she sat on for three years, to showing up to London Fashion Week in a crumpled black hoodie when the jacket stayed home. Real stories. Real growth. Real accountability. This week's self-reflection question is: Whose permission do you think you need to be the best version of you? And on the flip side: What would your dream life look like if you remembered you didn't need anyone's permission to build it? We're deep in the rebuild. Don't skip steps.  Follow Candice on Substack for more.

    Stop Living Someone Else's Life

    In this episode, we're getting into one of the most important steps of rebuilding your life: the blueprint. Not a vision board. Not a Pinterest aesthetic. The actual rules you're going to live by. Candice breaks down why so many of us are living lives designed by other people and what it really takes to start building one by your own intention. This episode is equal parts real talk and deep reflection, with a very honest detour about the people we may have to let go of in order to protect the life we're building. This episode covers: Why your blueprint is a rulebook, not a mood boardThe difference between standing on business and standing on a boundaryWhy we try to change our behaviour before defining our values (and why that never works)The power of giving yourself small permissions to outgrow the bullshitWhy some of the hardest boundaries to hold are with people we love mostSelf-sabotage, self-worth, and giving yourself a fighting chance Questions to sit with this week: If I wasn't scared of disappointing people, what would my life look like?What parts of my life feel like recovery instead of living?Why is it always tomorrow for me, but immediately for everyone else?Do I really love myself?Enjoyed this episode?

    Its Time to Strengthen Your Foundations

    I think it’s time to strengthen your foundations. Not in a dramatic way. Not all at once. But in the quiet, honest way where you admit something doesn’t feel as solid as it should. In this episode of Conversations with Candice, Candice talks about the part of growth no one really celebrates, the slow, unseen work that everything else depends on. Because a lot of the time, when things feel off… when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or constantly starting again… it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s not because you lack discipline. It’s because your foundations were rushed, skipped, or never fully built. This episode is a reminder that: • You don’t need to move faster, you might need to slow down • Burnout often starts long before you notice it • Stability is built in the quiet, unglamorous moments • You can’t build a life that feels good on foundations that don’t feel solid Candice shares why so many of us try to build quickly, what happens when we skip the groundwork, and how to start strengthening your life from the inside out, without pressure, shame, or starting over completely. If things have been feeling a bit shaky lately… this might be why. Enjoyed this episode? Subscribe so you never miss a conversation.

    The First Step to Rebuilding Your Life

    Welcome to the very first episode of Conversations with Candice.   This episode is about something many people quietly think about… but rarely say out loud:   What do you do when your life looks fine on the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside?   Episode 1 is a conversation about rebuilding your life. Not dramatically. Not by quitting everything overnight. But by understanding yourself differently.   So many people reach a point where they are functioning, coping and showing up for everyone, yet feel disconnected from themselves. You can have the career, the relationship, the children, the responsibilities, and still feel tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.   This episode explores the emotional starting point of personal growth and self-awareness: the moment you realise you don’t need a new life, you need a new relationship with yourself.   Candice talks about: • emotional burnout and mental load • feeling stuck even when life is “good” • losing identity in motherhood, relationships or responsibility • why high-functioning women still feel overwhelmed • the pressure to keep coping • the difference between survival mode and living intentionally • how rebuilding your life actually begins internally   This is not a productivity podcast. This is not a “fix your morning routine” conversation.   This is about emotional reset, self-trust and the quiet decision to stop living on autopilot.   If you’ve ever felt: “Is this it?” “Why do I feel unhappy when I should feel grateful?” “I don’t recognise myself anymore.” “I’m doing everything right but it still feels heavy.”   You’re not broken. You’re at a starting point.   Conversations with Candice is a weekly podcast about personal growth, confidence, boundaries, motherhood, relationships, identity, healing and rebuilding a life that feels peaceful, not just looks successful.   Enjoyed this episode?
