MENGENAI EPISOD INI
"Content is now. To be content is to be in the still waters of now, not continuously running your head mad with what has been, and not putting tension on what could be."
Welcome back to Chapter Three, Episode Three of Conversations with Candice! Today Candice opens up about navigating her luteal phase on HRT, looming book deadlines, and why we must stop robbing ourselves of joy.

Inside the Dilemma Inbox today:
- Dilemma (FOMO, Self-Worth & Being Present): A listener with a great job, an amazing partner, and great friends struggles with severe FOMO, constantly nitpicking moments (even while watching London skyline fireworks or holidaying in Brazil) and worrying that others are having a better time. Candice and Bode unpack why FOMO is actually "deprivation in action", the discipline of "catch it, bin it, kill it" for negative self-talk, and why low self-worth makes us feel unworthy of good experiences.
- The "Almost Woman" Mindset: Candice shares a deeply personal reflection on her upcoming essay 'The Plight of the Almost Woman', exploring how chasing the "next big milestone" blinds us from recognizing that we have already arrived.
- Housekeeping & OOTP: White asymmetric cape shirt, Dior headscarf, Swarovski ear piercings, HRT luteal phase realities, and book deadline updates.
No experts, no perfection. Just real conversations about life as we're actually living it.
