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 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, bounda…","meta_description":"Welcome to the very first episode of Conversations with Candice .
