“Jealousy Can Make You More Successful Than You Think” - Candice Brathwaite

This week, we’re joined by the one & only Candice Brathwaite! She was THE perfect guest and agony aunt for your all your dilemmas. We talked about why you shouldn’t chase social media fame, what true “authenticity” looks like online, the pressure on young people to hustle constantly rather than rest, and parenting in this new age of hyper-visibility. We also get into the tough subject of abortions, death and infidelity from partners. We think this episode is the perfect balance between serious and playful, and we hope you enjoy! 00:00 - 2:26 Welcome Candice Brathwaite!! 2:27 - 5:51 Performing Authenticity on Social Media 5:52 - 14:45 Taking A Break From Hustle Culture + The Insane Pressure We Put On Ourselves 14:46 - 17:14 My Friend Borrowed Money From Me & Now He’s Dead 17:15 - 29:02 My Friends Treat Me Like I’m Disposable + Thoughts on Friendship 29:03 - 39:22 I’m Feeling So Guilty About My Abortion 39:23 - 49:51 I Checked My Boyfriend’s Phone & Found Out He Cheated 49:52 - 54:53 Are We Truly Decentering Men? 54:54 - 1:04:31 There’s No World or Media For Pre-teens Anymore + Fear vs Respect With Parenting 1:04:31 - 1:13:09 Being A Safe Space For Your Child & Dealing With Your Family Relationships 1:13:10 - 1:17:10 Looking For Love & Validation Everywhere 1:17:11 - 1:25:30 Candice’s 10 Year Journey From Broke To Successful 1:25:31 - 1:29:53 Chasing Fame vs Purpose On Social Media 1:29:54 - 1:35:32 How Do You Be A Public Figure & Still Be Your Own Person? 1:35:33 - 1:38:14 Outro Join FK & Jola on their Samsung journey and enjoy the brand new range of Samsung Foldables.
