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.

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.
