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. Remain Unrealistic.
