The Shake Up Podcast with Candice Harvey

Send Candice a text! I get it - at the start… everything feels exciting. A new goal. A new routine. A fresh start. You’re motivated, all in, and telling everyone about it… until one day - the novelty wears off. Suddenly, the thing that once felt exciting now feels repetitive, effortful… maybe even a little boring. And this is usually the moment people start to question everything: “Have I lost motivation?” “Is this not for me?” But here’s the truth - nothing’s gone wrong. You’ve just moved past the novelty. In this episode, Candice breaks down why excitement was never meant to carry you the whole way, and why so many people get stuck chasing the beginning instead of committing to the process. If you’ve ever started something strong and struggled to keep going once the hype fades… this one is for you.

Send Candice a text! How many times have you said, “I’d love to try that…” — and then didn’t? Yeah… same. This episode is your nudge (or let’s be honest… your loving push) to stop overthinking it and just get in the room. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Vanessa Friscia, founder of V-Hub Dance - and someone who has completely changed the way I think about confidence, fun, and trying new things as an adult. Because here’s the truth: Most people love the idea of dancing… But very few actually do it. And it’s not because they can’t - it’s because they’re overthinking it. In this episode, we unpack: Because the goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s not even to be good. It’s to get in the room. About Vanessa Friscia Vanessa Friscia is the founder of V-Hub Dance, a Brisbane-based dance studio dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where people of all backgrounds and experience levels can grow in confidence through movement.

Send Candice a text! Ever thought… “My team needs this.” “My boss would benefit from this.” “We 100% need a shake up…” …and then said nothing? This episode was sparked by a listener who replied to my email asking: “How do I pitch you to my boss?” And I thought - I know she’s not the only one. This episode is here to make it ridiculously easy for you. Because this isn’t about selling me (ick). It’s not even about pitching me. It’s about introducing me. In this episode, I share 5 simple ways to do exactly that: No awkwardness. No overthinking. No sales pitch required. Worst case? They say no. Best case? You change how your team communicates, works, and shows up… every single day. All from one conversation. Enjoy - and make sure you share it with your friends if you found the episode useful. I can't wait to shake up YOUR team! Tag me: @candiceharvey__

Send Candice a text! Rejection. It’s a word most of us say we’re “fine with” - until it actually happens. Suddenly, you’re questioning everything - your capability, your choices, even your latest haircut. In this episode of The Shake Up Podcast, I unpack why rejection hits deeper than the moment itself, why we avoid it, and how we can build a healthier, more productive relationship with it - especially at work. In this episode I cover: • Why rejection isn’t a verdict on your worth — it’s data • How fear of rejection keeps you playing small and holding back • Three ways to get comfortable leaning into rejection, so it fuels growth, not paralysis If you want bigger opportunities, better conversations, and more momentum in your career, your relationship with rejection has to improve. The people doing the most interesting work aren’t the ones avoiding “no” - they’re the ones showing up, taking the knocks, and keeping going. 🎧 If this episode resonates, please share it! 📲 Tag me @candiceharvey__ and tell me - what’s one “no” that taught you more than any “yes”? Go lean into rejection. Go take the risk. Go shake things up.

Send Candice a text! Being unoffendable is one of the most underrated superpowers you can develop - at work, at home, and in life. When you can hear feedback without taking it personally… When you can see criticism without spiraling… When someone says something blunt, weird, or challenging — and you pause instead of react… You gain clarity. You gain confidence. You gain control. In this episode, I’m unpacking why being unoffendable is key to emotional freedom, career growth, and resilience - and how to actually get there. This episode covers: • Why taking offense so easily keeps you stuck in interpretation instead of reality • How offendability silently stalls your career and limits growth opportunities • Why building resilience starts with learning not to be triggered • How unoffendable people regulate their emotions, grow faster, and are harder to manipulate • Two practical keys to becoming unoffendable: detaching self-worth from others’ opinions and welcoming (not avoiding) offense This isn’t about letting people walk over you. It’s about owning your emotional response, separating identity from behaviour, and not letting other people’s words control your life. 🎧 If this episode resonates, share it! 📲 Tag me @candiceharvey__ and tell me — what’s something that used to offend you, but no longer does? Go build tough skin. Go welcome perspective. Go be unoffendable - it’ll look good on you. And as always, shake things up.

Send Candice a text! When someone asks, “How’s work?” Do you light up? Or do you roll your eyes and say, “Urghh… it’s fine I guess”? This episode is for the people sitting in the grey zone - where work isn’t terrible… but it’s not that exciting either. It’s not toxic. It’s not soul-destroying. It’s just… meh. And here’s the problem: “Crap but not super crap” is where ambition slowly fades. In this episode, we discuss: • Why “tolerable” is more dangerous than terrible - and how the grey zone quietly lowers your standards • How meh energy at work leaks into your confidence, health, and relationships • The 3 practical things 9–5ers can do to get out of the grey zone (without quitting or waiting for Steph to leave) • Why raising your own standard changes everything - even in the same job • How to stop outsourcing your motivation and take back control of your career This isn’t about dramatic resignations. It’s about intentional upgrades. Because every job is either a paycheck… or a training ground. And the moment you decide to extract value instead of waiting for it - everything shifts. 🎧 If this episode hit home, share it. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and tell me — are you done with the grey zone?

Send Candice a text! Have you ever secretly rolled your eyes at International Women’s Day? I used to. The pink cupcakes. The once-a-year equality speeches. The predictable “what about Men’s Day?” comment. For years, I wanted to fast-forward from March 7 to March 9. But I see it differently now. Because International Women’s Day isn’t about pink branding or morning teas. It’s about progress. It’s about momentum. It’s about accelerating action. So today, we’re having a REAL conversation. I’m joined by Archana Ramaswamy - global luxury retail leader, former Store Director at Selfridges, and now Head of Boutique Excellence, U.S. at Chanel. Her career spans brands like Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, across four countries and some of the highest-performing retail environments in the world. In this episode, we unpack: This isn’t a fluffy International Women’s Day chat. It’s honest. Practical. And grounded in real experience. If this conversation shifts your perspective, screenshot it, share it, and tag me @candiceharvey__ Here’s to real progress - and shaking things up properly.

Send Candice a text! Ever worked with someone who drains you? Irritates you? Makes you question how they even got hired? Congratulations. You’re human!! ...and you might want this FREE DOWNLOADABLE IN YOUR HANDS!! We naturally gravitate towards people who think like us, move like us, communicate like us. And the friction? It usually comes from difference - different pace, different priorities, different styles. But here’s the shaker... Your biggest growth at work won’t come from finding your bestie. It will come from learning how to work well with people you don’t naturally click with. In this episode, we discuss: • Why career growth and influence come from adaptability - not just competence • How the DISC framework (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) explains workplace friction • Why behaviour makes more sense - and feels less personal - when you understand communication styles • Practical ways to work more effectively with each DISC style (even the one that drives you bananas) • How expanding your range makes you more trusted, respected, and promotable This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to like everyone you work with - but you do need to learn how to work with them. Because the people who go far in their careers aren’t the ones with the least friction. They’re the ones who know how to move through it with skill and self-awareness. If you can work well with the person who tests you the most? You can work well with anyone. There’s also a FREE downloadable one-pager to help you apply this immediately - grab your copy here 🎧 If this episode resonated, share it. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and tell me your DISC style (and the style of the person who challenges you most).

Send Candice a text! When you think about influence at work… what comes to mind? A senior title? Being the loudest in the meeting? Having the most experience? Because here’s the truth - influence in 2026 doesn’t belong to the loudest person in the room. It belongs to the person people actually listen to. The person whose words move things. The person others want to follow. In this episode, we unpack what truly earns influence in today’s workplace - and whether it’s charisma, confidence, or connection that really makes the difference. As well as... • Why traditional “work harder and wait your turn” strategies no longer earn real influence • The difference between charisma, confidence, and connection - and how each one shows up at work • Why charisma gets attention but doesn’t automatically build trust • How grounded confidence earns respect (without needing to be loud) • Why connection is the ultimate influence multiplier in 2026 This episode will challenge how you think about leadership - especially if you’ve been relying on output, titles, or people-pleasing to get ahead. 🎧 If this episode resonated, share it. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and tell me which one you’re strengthening this year. 📒Grab your copy of my new book, The Shake Up.

Send Candice a text! Did you start 2026 feeling excited? Vision board energy. Fresh start vibes. “This is my year” momentum. And now… you’re still thinking about doing the thing instead of actually doing it? You know what needs to happen. You’ve had the thought more than once. You’ve probably even said it out loud. So why aren’t you freaking doing it already?!! In this episode, we discuss: • The 3 real reasons you’re not doing what you know you need to do • Why growth doesn’t feel safe (and how your nervous system keeps choosing familiar over better) • The trap of waiting to “feel ready”- and why confidence is built through action • The identity mistake most people make when chasing goals • The Be → Do → Have model - and how to use it to finally follow through If you’re stuck in “I know what I should be doing but I'm not doing it" — this episode will lovingly call you forward.

Send Candice a text! From your very first job (yes — Hungry Jack’s counts) to the role you’re in right now… Have you ever stopped to think about what people actually say about you once you’ve left a team? In this episode, I invite you to reflect on your work legacy — the impact, reputation, and feeling you left behind long after the job title is gone. Because a work legacy isn’t about KPIs, spreadsheets, or how early you arrived. It’s about how you made people feel, the culture you contributed to, and whether you’re remembered as someone people genuinely miss… or not so much. In this episode, I explore: work legacyThis episode is a reminder that your work legacy isn’t a future problem — It’s a daily choice. If 2026 is the year you want to show up differently at work — more intentionally, more consciously, and with pride — this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen in, reflect honestly, and start leaving a mark you’re proud of. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who’s not loving January and needs a reset. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and let me know what hit home.

Send Candice a text! Did you have a goal you wanted to achieve last year, and you've recently moved it to the “this year for sure” list? I got you!

Send Candice a text! Boundaries are everywhere right now. But somewhere along the way, the meaning got lost. In this episode, I unpack why “setting boundaries” has become a buzzword — and how it’s often being used to avoid uncomfortable conversations, shut people out, or justify being unkind. In todays episode I break down: actuallyheartfully vs hurtfullywithout burning bridgesIf you’ve ever said “that’s just my boundary” — or had it said to you — this episode will help you do it better. Because real boundaries don’t push people away. They build stronger, healthier relationships. 🎧 If this episode resonated, share it — especially with someone who’s “setting boundaries” loudly but missing the point. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and let me know what landed.

Send Candice a text! If I had a dollar every time I heard “I wish I was still on holidays” or “I should’ve taken an extra week off” last week… I’d have a lot of dollars! But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: Most people don’t actually need another holiday — they need a shake up. In this episode, I unpack why January feels so hard for so many people, why holidays never feel long enough, and why coming back to work can feel like an instant drag — even when nothing is technically “wrong.” Spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re lazy, ungrateful, or broken. I share the two real reasons people wish they were still on holidays — and what to do instead of jumping back on Trivago and hoping next year will feel different. In this episode, we cover: restingresettingThis episode isn’t about toxic positivity or “just be grateful you have a job” nonsense. It’s about taking ownership, redesigning how you show up, and creating a life — and a work week — you don’t need a holiday from. If you’ve come back from the break already counting down to your next one… this one’s for you. 🎧 If this episode resonated, share it with someone who’s not loving January and needs a reset. 📲 Screenshot, tag me @candiceharvey__, and let me know what hit home.

Send Candice a text! Question for you: how many times did you say “I don’t have time” about your health in 2025? Well, its officially time to shake that story up. This is the first episode of The Shake Up Podcast for 2026, and we’re starting exactly where so many people say they want to start every January — their health.
