The Men Don't Want to Work

"Respect the want like it's a need. The way you need to breathe is the way you need to get to

your class. Because as women with busy lives, it's very easy to not respect the want... and when

you disrespect the want, one day it’s gonna come down the road and fling your head back and

disrespect you."

Bob’s your uncle if you’ve got an uncle called Bob! Welcome back to Episode Two of Chapter

Two of Conversations with Candice. This season is all about love and relationships, and today

Candice is flying solo in the studio to tackle three incredibly raw, layered, and jaw-dropping

listener dilemmas.

But before unlocking the inbox, today's episode starts with a heavy heart. Candice pays tribute

to the legendary Kanya King OBE, founder of the MOBO Awards, who recently passed away

from colon cancer. In honour of Kanya’s memory, maternal spirit, and legacy, we are shining a

massive light on the life-saving work of Black Women Rising, a charity dedicated to supporting

Black women navigating cancer care. Please see the links below to support, donate, or

volunteer.

Inside the Dilemma Inbox today:

• Dilemma 1: What do you do when you're with an older man who refuses to work a 9-to-5

while you raise three dependent children? Candice breaks down how to slowly, safely pull

your hand out of the lion's mouth.

• Dilemma 2: Unpacking the trauma of a 14-year marriage to a deadbeat, narcissistic ex who

is currently weaponising your children and sending inappropriate messages. We talk about

alignment, vibrations, and setting radical boundaries through third-party communication.

• Dilemma 3: How to completely rediscover your individual identity and independence after 18

years of being solely relationship centred and mother-focused.

No experts, no perfection. Just real conversations about life as we're actually living it.
