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-bullshit approach to growth.

The fear is Being Seen]]> Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT 33:30 69dbdb87cdaa3e377c45f22a true https://shows.acast.com/conversations-with-candice/episodes/the-fear-isnt-failure-the-fear-is-being-seen 69dbdb87cdaa3e377c45f22a 6995bf2a435569254bd050b5 the-fear-isnt-failure-the-fear-is-being-seen full 1 5 We are DEEP in Chapter One of YOUR rebuild, and this week we're talking about Structure, the moment your private dreams go public.


This is the stage where your new identity stops being internal and starts showing up in the real world for everyone to see, judge, and witness.

In this episode, Candice breaks down why the fear you're feeling isn't really about failure, it's about exposure. She unpacks the three types of people in your audience (supporters, observers, and resistors), why resistors say more about themselves than about you, and how to keep building even when the noise gets loud.


We're also covering Candice's practical tools to help you push through:

  • The 48-Hour Rule
  • Naming Your Audience
  • The 10% Expansion Rule
  • Replacing Approval with Evidence


If your structure is going up and things are feeling tight, sticky, and scary; that's exactly where you're supposed to be. Keep building, babe.

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.

]]> <![CDATA[Stop Living Someone Else's Life ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT 32:21 69c686d49b6be94a1ae9074b true https://shows.acast.com/conversations-with-candice/episodes/stop-living-someone-elses-life 69c686d49b6be94a1ae9074b 6995bf2a435569254bd050b5 stop-living-someone-elses-life Its Time to Design Your Own Blueprint full 1 3 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 board
  • The difference between standing on business and standing on a boundary
  • Why 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 bullshit
  • Why some of the hardest boundaries to hold are with people we love most
  • Self-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?

]]> Its Time to Strengthen Your Foundations Its Time to Strengthen Your Foundations Mon, 23 Mar 2026 01:00:00 GMT 29:26 69bd4f341861d127d5b6ea9c true https://shows.acast.com/conversations-with-candice/episodes/its-time-to-strengthen-your-foundations 69bd4f341861d127d5b6ea9c 6995bf2a435569254bd050b5 its-time-to-strengthen-your-foundations full 1 2 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.

]]> The First Step to Rebuilding Your Life The First Step to Rebuilding Your Life Mon, 16 Mar 2026 01:00:00 GMT 35:08 69b417d363444515f9c4b2ca true https://shows.acast.com/conversations-with-candice/episodes/the-first-step-to-rebuilding-your-life 69b417d363444515f9c4b2ca 6995bf2a435569254bd050b5 the-first-step-to-rebuilding-your-life full 1 1 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.
