118. No BS Reflection: Where Are You Really at in 2026?

120. The Best Leaders in the Room Are Never the Most Senior. How To Become A Leader Today.

Send Candice a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2166241/fan_mail/new] Hey guess what? Leadership is not a title. It's not a corner office or a direct report or a seat at the big table. It's a decision. A daily, deliberate decision about who you are going to be at work - and how you're going to treat the humans around you. And honestly? The people who are standing out, getting noticed, and building careers they actually love right now are not waiting for permission. They're leading from wherever they are. As a junior. As a graduate. As someone who's been in the same role for five years. This episode is for every single one of them. And for you. This week Candice is sharing 3 keys to becoming a leader - no title, no promotion, no permission slip required. Some of it will make you think of your favourite person you've ever worked with. Some of it will make you want to be that person for someone else. All of it is worth a listen. In this episode we chat about: * The most underrated leadership skill that has nothing to do with strategy * What actually defines you as a leader (hint: it's not the good days) * The one thing the best people in every workplace do - without being asked * Why Gen Z is absolutely killing it right now and what we can all learn from them * The three questions to ask yourself before you walk into work tomorrow You don't need a fancy title. You just need to decide.  🎧 If this episode made you think, laugh, or question something - send it to someone who needs a little permission to do life differently.  📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and let me know what hit home.

119. The 6 Reasons Your Life Feels Like Groundhog Day - and How to Shake Yourself Out of It.

Send Candice a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2166241/fan_mail/new] Heads up - this episode might feel more like a slap in the face than a shake-up. But there you go, you've been warned. Now carry on. It's June. Half the year is basically gone. And can we just be honest for a second - how does life actually feel compared to January? Because January had energy, didn't it? January had plans and intention and that whole fresh start feeling. And then February happened. And March. And somehow it's June and things feel a little… flat. A little same. A little bit... wake up, work, scroll, sleep, repeat. Sound familiar? This episode is for you. This week Candice is breaking down 6 reasons your life might be feeling like Groundhog Day right now - and what to do about each one. Some of it will resonate. Some of it will annoy you. All of it is worth hearing. In this weeks episode we talk about: * The quiet habit that keeps you stuck in the fog * Why the flat energy at work might have more to do with you than you think * The conversation you've been avoiding (yeah, that one) * What your strengths have to do with that nagging "something's missing" feeling * The one thing that underpins absolutely everything It's June.

118. No BS Reflection: Where Are You Really at in 2026?

Send Candice a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2166241/fan_mail/new] Halfway through 2026... are you actually where you said you would be in January? We bought a house. Book 2 is in progress. And somehow it's almost June already - how the bloody hell did that happen?! But before we get into all of that - can we talk about the fact that 2026 is absolutely flying and most of us haven't stopped long enough to ask ourselves if we're actually on track? Because same. This week Candice gets real about her own mid-year reality check - the good, the uncomfortable, and the stuff she'd been quietly calling "fine" (spoiler: it wasn't). She's sharing the 5 questions she sat down with last weekend that brought up ALL the things - and trust us, yours will too. Grab your notes app, a pen, a coffee - whatever you need - because you're going to want to actually answer these ones. Don't just nod along. I see you 👀 In this episode we chat about: * The thing you've been pretending is fine - but really isn't. * Where you might be coasting (no judgment, but also… a little judgment) * A two-column exercise that hits different when it comes to your energy * Getting ruthlessly clear on what actually matters for the rest of the year * The bold move you've been putting off - and why June is your month Also - if you work for someone else and get a regular pay cheque, Candice needs you in her survey.

117. Two Competitors Walk Into a Conference… (feat. Ange Davies)

Send Candice a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2166241/fan_mail/new] Two competitors walk into a conference... and instead of sizing each other up, they swapped pricing, shared strategies and became each other's biggest cheerleaders.  True story ;)  This week Candice [https://www.instagram.com/candiceharvey__/] is joined by Ange Davies [https://www.instagram.com/mind.your.grit/] from Mind Your Grit, and they're getting into why collaboration might be the single best thing you do for your career, your business, and honestly, your life. IN THIS EPISODE: Candice and Ange unpack one of the most common (and quietly costly) patterns in workplaces and businesses - defaulting to competition when collaboration would serve you way much better.  Whether you're running your own business or working alongside colleagues every day, this one's for you. You'll hear them get into: * Why people default to competition instead of collaboration  *  The hidden cost of a competitive mindset in workplaces  *  What true day-to-day collaboration actually looks like  *  What’s really going on when someone feels threatened by a peer  *  How trust is built (and broken) in professional relationships  *  Why their own relationship has never felt competitive - even in the same industry  *  What to do if you’re stuck in comparison mode right now This is a straight conversation about fear, insecurity, and what becomes possible when you stop protecting yourself from people who could actually help you grow. Because most people aren’t stuck because they lack talent. They’re stuck because they’re competing in rooms where they could be collaborating.

116. From Book to Audiobook: What No One Tells You. Miish Grixti Has The Mic.

Send Candice a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2166241/fan_mail/new] Three months ago, The Shake Up landed in the world. And what three months it's been. I didn't know what to expect when I put that book out...  Honestly, I half convinced myself only my mum would read it.  But then the messages started coming in - from people I know, people I don't, and one lady in Spain (still can't get over that one). And somewhere in the middle of launch week, an email landed in my inbox from someone offering to come on the podcast and interview me about the book at the three-month mark. That person was Miish Grixti [https://miishgrixti.com/]. And that email is one of the nicest things anyone has ever offered to do for me. I met Miish about four years ago at a business workshop in Brisbane - and the moment you meet her, you just can't help but love her.  She's warm, she's real, she's the kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever.  She's also a creative strategist and coach who helps business owners shape and sell their work - especially when they're too close to it to see it clearly.  She's the founder of WriteLikeYou.app and has spent the past eight years helping coaches, creators, authors and personal brands close the gap between how good their work is and how well it actually lands. Oh - and she lives on a dairy farm in northwest Tasmania surrounded by rolling green hills and 500 cows.  Today, I handed her the mic. And she asked me everything... eeeekk... In this episode we talk about: * What the past three months of having a book in the world has actually felt like - the messages, the surprises, the moments that stopped me in my tracks * The writing process - how I wrote The Shake Up in three focused weeks and why I couldn't have done it any other way * The audiobook - what I thought it would be like vs what it actually was (spoiler: sweat. so much sweat.) * What I'd do differently if I launched it again * What's next - including a hint at book two (and three) and who it's for Grab The Shake Up book — available now in paperback and audiobook.
