The Men Don't Want to Work
<p>"Respect the want like it's a need. The way you need to breathe is the way you need to get to</p><p>your class. Because as women with busy lives, it's very easy to not respect the want... and when</p><p>you disrespect the want, one day it’s gonna come down the road and fling your head back and</p><p>disrespect you."</p><br><p><br></p><br><p>Bob’s your uncle if you’ve got an uncle called Bob! Welcome back to Episode Two of Chapter</p><p>Two of Conversations with Candice. This season is all about love and relationships, and today</p><p>Candice is flying solo in the studio to tackle three incredibly raw, layered, and jaw-dropping</p><p>listener dilemmas.</p><br><p>But before unlocking the inbox, today's episode starts with a heavy heart. Candice pays tribute</p><p>to the legendary Kanya King OBE, founder of the MOBO Awards, who recently passed away</p><p>from colon cancer. In honour of Kanya’s memory, maternal spirit, and legacy, we are shining a</p><p>massive light on the life-saving work of Black Women Rising, a charity dedicated to supporting</p><p>Black women navigating cancer care. Please see the links below to support, donate, or</p><p>volunteer.</p><br><p>Inside the Dilemma Inbox today:</p><ul><li>Dilemma 1: What do you do when you're with an older man who refuses to work a 9-to-5</li></ul><p> while you raise three dependent children? Candice breaks down how to slowly, safely pull</p><p> your hand out of the lion's mouth.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Dilemma 2: Unpacking the trauma of a 14-year marriage to a deadbeat, narcissistic ex who</li></ul><p> is currently weaponising your children and sending inappropriate messages. We talk about</p><p> alignment, vibrations, and setting radical boundaries through third-party communication.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Dilemma 3: How to completely rediscover your individual identity and independence after 18</li></ul><p> years of being solely relationship centred and mother-focused.</p><br><p>No experts, no perfection.

We Should Have Got a Divorce
<blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>"If there was any year we were gonna divorce, it was 2025... Any one of these days, one of us was sliding papers across this motherfucking table."</blockquote><p><br></p><p>Welcome back to Chapter Two of <strong>Conversations with Candice</strong>. We aren't easing you into the theme of love and relationships, we are dropping you straight into the deep end.</p><br><p>This week, Candice is joined by her husband, co-producer, and partner of 14 years, Bode Aboderin for an episode that nearly didn't happen.</p><p>Triggered by a powerful listener question about what a "10-year rebuild" actually looks like, Candice and Bode pull back the curtain on the curated edits of social media. They get brutally honest about the financial, mental, and emotional fires that pushed their marriage to absolute quicksand last year. This isn't a fairy tale; it's a raw look at what happens when the scaffolding crumbles, and why choosing each other daily is the hardest, most rewarding work there is.</p><br><p><strong>In this episode, we discuss:</strong></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>OOTP (Outfit Of The Pod):</strong> Uniqlo basics vs. Issey Miyake statements.</li><li><strong>The 4 Pillars of a Relationship:</strong> Balancing parental, business, intimate, and individual selves.</li><li><strong>The Illusion of Stability:</strong> Why chasing a perfect balance might be holding you back.</li><li><strong>Masculinity & Sacrifice:</strong> Bode opens up about quitting his corporate career for the family business and battling identity loss.</li><li><strong>The "Cliff" Analogy:</strong> Are you a strategic risk-analyzer or a "jump and figure it out" operator?</li><li><strong>The Power of Want over Need:</strong> Shifting away from the savior complex into true partnership.</li><li><strong>The Vasectomy:</strong> Why Bode made the decision for himself, and dealing with family expectations.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Follow Candice across socials <strong>@candicebrathwaite</strong>.

Get off of the hamster wheel!
<p>It's the final episode of chapter one of Conversations with Candice, and what a ride it's been. Before we close this chapter, Candice covers everything from the show's upcoming season break and how you can now join the conversation in Chapter Two, to answering your listener questions live for the very first time.</p><br><p>In this episode, Candice tackles:</p><ul><li><strong>Manifestation</strong> - why you probably don't believe in yours yet, and how to fix that</li><li><strong>Friendship trauma</strong> - the uncomfortable truth about seeking closure</li><li><strong>The hamster wheel vs. true evolution</strong> - and how Candice finally reached contentment</li></ul><p><br></p><p>She also reflects on why chapter one was never about transforming in 10 weeks and why the real rebuild takes years, not episodes.</p><br><p>Chapter Two is coming, and the theme is… <strong>Love and relationships.</strong>! Get ready.</p><br><p>Want to be part of the conversation?
