  141. Congrats, You Filled a Conference Notebook! Now What? 02.11.2026 23m

  Send Candice a text! Every conference gives you the same thing - a free pen, a lanyard, way too much average coffee and cake, and a free notebook, usually with the conference logo on it. And as someone who has been to a bucketload of conferences this year - I love watching a room during a great session, because everyone's got their head down, pen going, scribbling away like they're taking notes for an exam. Rows and rows of inspired humans, capturing the good stuff. But here's the quest...

  140. AI, Minus the Tech Bro Energy (with Brooke Wright) 26.10.2026 37m

  Send Candice a text! Confession time. I use AI every single day. I love my ChatGPT, I love my Claude. But the second someone starts talking about "agents" and "skills" and whatever else, my brain does a full freak-out and crawls straight back into its “don’t talk to me about AI” cocoon. So inviting someone who lives and breathes AI onto the pod? A smidge terrifying. But I put my big girl pants on, because this guest is phenomenal. Brooke Wright has helped over 50,000 women stop feeling be...

  139. Two Overwhelmed Brains, One Happy Marriage - My Husband Joins Me on the Pod 19.10.2026 58m

  Send Candice a text! It was 3am. (Our doesn’t go off until 4am, which is already a crime to a few people.) And there we both were, tossing, turning, hugging, huffing and puffing. Two brains, wide awake, both thinking about... work. If there’s an off switch for the head, we have yet to find it. That’s where this episode came from. We’re currently both under the pump at work right now, and it’s probably staying that way until Christmas. And yet, after just over 10 years together and 6 ma...

  138. A Much Needed Revisit: How to Know When to Push or Pause 12.10.2026 42m

  Send Candice a text! This morning I was standing in the shower. I was clean. I was done. I could have got out five minutes ago, and I still didn’t want to. (You know those mornings.) My brain was busy replaying every conversation I’ve had lately. Friends who are flat out. Business owners with teams that are stressed, or just plodding. A husband with a lot on. And me, trying to work out how I actually feel. Different people, same question hiding underneath all of it: should I be pushing right...

  137. Six Team Workshops & Counting: Why This CEO Keeps Bringing Me Back (with Jamie Keyzer) 05.10.2026 44m

  Send Candice a text! Two and a half years ago, I walked into Floorworld's National Support Office for the very first time. Little did I know, I'd be back with that same team another five times over the coming years. Along the way there's also been two of their annual awards nights I've MC'd - one in Brisbane, one more recently in Malaysia. So either Jamie Keyzer, Floorworld's CEO, is a glutton for punishment, or something about these sessions is actually landing. In this episode, I sit ...

  136. Your Team Meeting Might Be a Colossal Waste of Time. Here's How to Tell. 28.09.2026 46m

  Send Candice a text! Be honest - how many meetings have you walked into, sat through, and walked back out of thinking "well, that was an hour I'm never getting back"? If you're anything like most people I talk to, the answer is more than you'd like to admit. Here's the thing though - I don't think meetings are the problem. Done well, they create energy, clarity and momentum. They remind people they're not out there operating solo, they're part of something bigger. A good team...

  135. The Top 5 Biggest Frustrations at Work and How to Eliminate Them 21.09.2026 39m

  Send Candice a text! I had a coffee this morning with a business owner who'd heard me speak last week, and he said something that's stuck with me all day: "Candice, when you were talking about teams and what they're going through - it was like you were describing our team exactly. All of it." And I had to be honest with him - I'm not psychic. I'm not creeping around outside his office windows taking notes. This is just what goes on inside teams. Not just his team. All ...

  134. She Was Given a Year to Live. That Was 16 Years Ago. Di Foster on the Moment Everything Shifted. 14.09.2026 47m

  Send Candice a text! You know those people you meet and instantly think, "wow, I like you"? That's what happened to Candice in March this year, seated next to Di Foster at a conference - cool jacket, big smile, bright eyes, bald head, and absolutely no interest in small talk. By the end of day one, Candice went home and told her husband, "I've just made a new friend!" Di has an accounting and commerce degree and started her career in the knitwear and production industry, moving th...

  133. How to Switch Off Your 9-5 (So You Can Switch On Your 5-9) 07.09.2026 35m

  Send Candice a text! Last week I ran a closing keynote for a conference in Brisbane, swung by IKEA on the way home (as you do), and by the time I hit the Sunshine Coast I was so pooped that the thought of deciding what to cook for dinner nearly made me cry. So I rang my husband and said "meet me at the Thai place in 10 minutes, we're not cooking." Best decision of my week. Two exhausted people, sharing a meal, yawning between sentences - and somehow it still beat sitting at home h...

  132. Monday Deserves Better (And So Do You). It's Time To Give Monday The Rebrand It Deserves. 31.08.2026 24m

  Send Candice a text! I used to be a full-blown Sunday Blues kind of girl. A mega Friyay countdowner - "only 4 more sleeps," "it's nearly Friday," you know the vibe. I'd start dreading Monday from about 10am on Sunday, like a little grey cloud following me around for the rest of my weekend. Wrecking it. For me, and everyone around me. Sorry, fam bam. Then in 2018, something clicked - and Monday's been my favourite day of the week ever since. I know how that sounds. Stick with me. I...

  131. How to Get Ahead When You Have Imposter Syndrome 24.08.2026 23m

  Send Candice a text! I had a moment at an event recently that I almost didn't tell you about. A guy came up to me and said it was obvious I'd been doing what I do for a long time. I'm choosing to believe he meant the way I speak, and not the grey hairs. But here's the confession - even after years of doing this, putting in the work, getting genuinely good at my craft… I still don't fully believe I'm great at it. I compare myself to speakers I think are miles ahead of me. I get in my head. So...

  130. 5 Things I Say in Team Workshops That Your Boss Never Would 17.08.2026 35m

  Send Candice a text! A few years into running my own team workshops, I started noticing something... After almost every session - without fail - a manager would come find me afterwards and say some version of the same thing: "I've been trying to say that to my team for two years, Candice. How did you just do that in twenty minutes?" Here's the thing though. It's not that I'm smarter than them, or braver, or better with words. It's that I'm not their boss. When your manager tells you your a...

  129. You Asked. I Answered (And Nothing Was Off Limits.) 10.08.2026 41m

  Send Candice a text! You asked... so here we are. A few weeks ago, I put a question box on Instagram and told you that nothing was off limits. Business.Life.My career.My family.The kitchen dancing.The books.The workshops. And, as it turns out... you took that instruction very seriously. So in this episode, I'm answering your questions -the fun ones, the personal ones, the behind-the-scenes ones, and a few that made me stop and think before answering. I chat about the biggest shake up of my...

  128. Swearing at Work. Hot or Not? 03.08.2026 39m

  Send Candice a text! A few weeks ago I made an announcement on social media that surprised a lot of people. I was giving up swearing. Not forever. Just for July. While everyone else was doing Dry July (which, considering I haven't had a drink since 2023, wasn't exactly an option that excited me), I decided to see what would happen if I stopped dropping the occasional colourful word instead. The response from people? "Good luck with THAT." "No chance I could do that." And my personal fa...

  127. You’re Not Burnt Out - You’re Bored 27.07.2026 27m

  Send Candice a text! Everyone seems to be burnt out right now. And here's the thing - some people genuinely are. Burnout is real, it's serious, and if that's you I am not here to minimise it for a second. But some of the people telling me they're burnt out? They're actually bored. And those are two very different things with two very different solutions. Getting clear on which one you're actually dealing with - that's what this episode is about. This time of year is prime boredom territory. T...

  126. My Top 5 Takeaways from Start With Yourself by Emma Grede + What My First Book Club Taught Me 20.07.2026 29m

  Send Candice a text! Disclaimer: this is NOT a best bits of the book recap. This is MY top 5 takeaways. Which means you're getting the things that made me nod furiously AND the things that made me raise an eyebrow. Because that's what happened at book club and it made for a much better conversation. Emma Grede is incredible. I also don't agree with everything she says. Both things are true. Here's what we're covering in the episode: 💰 Why women need to talk about money more - and why I charge...

  125. The Cost of a Bigger Life with Lachlan Stuart 12.07.2026 59m

  Send Candice a text! So here's what happened... I was mid-session at a Ray White strategy day - talking about how to achieve any goal you set for yourself - when I spotted someone walk into the back of the room. And I completely lost my train of thought. Because I knew exactly who it was. Lachlan Stuart. Endurance athlete. High performance coach. Man who ran 58 marathons in 58 days across all 50 US states and 8 Australian territories. And husband of the beautiful Amy Sheppard. And my imm...

  124. Second Half Starts Now. Shall we set you up for success? 06.07.2026 33m

  Send Candice a text! We are officially, undeniably, no-getting-around-it at the halfway point of 2026. And before we go any further, I want to ask you one question. How was the first half? Not the Instagram version. Not the "yeah good, really busy" version you give people when they ask. The real one. The honest one. The one you say to yourself at 6am when nobody's listening. Because here's the thing - you already know the answer. Somewhere in that gut of yours, you already know exactly ...

  123. 1300 days Alcohol-Free: The Things Nobody Tells You 01.07.2026 47m

  Send Candice a text! It was 1st July 2016. Dry July had just started. I lasted ten hours. Dad offered me a glass of wine after work and honestly - it wasn't even a hard decision. Dry July was done before it really began. Fast forward to 2026 and I haven't had a drink in nearly 1,300 days. Three and a half years. And I want to talk about it. Not in a preachy way. Not in a "I've seen the light and you haven't" way. In an honest, real, this-is-what-actually-happens way - because there are ...

  122. You Walk the Walk - But Do You Talk the Talk? With Voice & Communication Advisor Sally Prosser 22.06.2026 52m

  Send Candice a text! Yesterday I was standing in front of 70 people in Rockhampton and for the first few minutes? Crickets. And I just kept thinking - I know these people are incredible. They work they do is incredible. So, what was holding them back? That moment is exactly why I recorded this episode. This week I'm joined by the brilliant Sally Prosser - voice and public speaking coach, TEDx speaker, author of Voiceprint, and host of That Voice Podcast. Sally spent years as a TV news jou...
