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.

Inspired by pacing her husband through his first 10K in over a decade and her own breakthrough performance, Candice unpacks what it truly means to make your new life  watertight . If you're mid-rebuild and starting to forget how capable you are, this episode is your reminder. In this episode we cover: Why your highest capability and comfort  cannot coexist How fear uses your own mind to keep you small and how to override it The power of your  personal data  (emotional resilience, lived experience) and why you must trust it Why energy leaks; fear, self-doubt and limiting beliefs will destroy your rebuild before it's finished The truth about maintaining what you build, not just acquiring it How to go to the  edge of your capability  and discover a version of yourself you won't believe Key quote:   \"Safety can be spiritual strangulation.\" Enjoyed this episode?
