Education Podcasts

Welcome to The Shake Up — your weekly dose of real talk with me, Performance Coach Candice Harvey. I’m a former corporate HR professional, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business helping teams and individuals thrive. I know Monday to Friday in the corporate world isn’t always cute outfits, hanging with your work bestie, and popping out real quick for a matcha—It’s more like surviving back-to-back meetings that should’ve been quick calls, dodging the people you can’t stand, and pretending you’re still productive by 3pm. Most of the time, we’re stuck in our own heads, running on autopilot, watching the clock and wondering why we can’t just do the damn thing we said we were going to do. That’s where me and my fancy rode mic come in. I’m here to shake you up — with straight-talking strategies, a smidge of humour, and my obsession with human behaviour in the workplace… because I get it, I did it for 15 years. I’m a former corporate HR pro, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business, helping teams and individuals go from “things are busy” to “things are GREAT!” So, if you’re ready for a nudge at work, a perspective shift, or maybe even a loving kick up the bum… you’re in the right place.

100. How To Set Boundaries In 2026 Without Being A D!ck

1/18/2026
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.

99. Why You Don’t Need To Go Back On Holidays — You Just Need a 2026 Shake Up.

1/11/2026
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.

98. “I Don’t Have Time” Isn’t the Problem — Complacency Is | A Health Shake-Up for 2026 with Danni Duncan

1/4/2026
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. Except this time, we’re not doing all-or-nothing, unrealistic crap that lasts two weeks and then disappears (that was so 2024!) Today, I’m joined by the incredible Danni Duncan, Women’s Health & Fitness Coach, mum of four, business owner — and someone who truly walks her talk. If you think being “busy” means you can’t prioritise your health, this episode may call you out — while also showing you just how simple it can be to start. In this episode, we unpack: This conversation is a powerful reminder that your health is the thing that allows you to show up as your best self everywhere else. You don’t need more motivation. You don’t need to do everything tomorrow. You just need to start — one small, intentional choice at a time. Drink more water. Go for the walk. Move your body. Do something that future you will thank you for. About Danni Duncan Danni is a qualified Nutrition & Fitness Coach, Master Female Trainer, Health & Mindset Mentor, Author, Speaker and Podcaster. She empowers women to prioritise their health without guilt — through realistic training, nutrition that actually sticks, and a no-BS approach to life. She shows up raw, honest, and real — the highs, the lows, and everything in between — and this conversation is no different. 📲 Follow Danni on Instagram: @danni.duncan_ Goal Tracker: https://danniduncan.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Danni-Duncan-Goal-Tracker.pdf If this episode gave you a nudge (or a loving kick up the backside), screenshot it, share it, and tag me @candiceharvey__ — I love seeing what lands. Here’s to making 2026 the year you stop saying “I don’t have time” — and start treating your health like the priority it actually is.

12/7/2025
Send Candice a text! This time last year, I dropped an episode that quickly became one of the most downloaded—and for good reason. It’s all about becoming a Goal Getter, not just a Goal Setter.

Send Candice a text! Today, we’re talking about why changing yourself to fit in at work is quietly killing your career growth — and what to do instead. Because here’s the truth: most people have two versions of themselves — their work self and their real self. And while it might seem harmless, that gap between the two is exactly what’s leaving you tired, disconnected, and holding back your best work.
