Sometimes You Have To Divorce

"You have to decide what you're worth. Just because someone doesn't agree with what you believe you're worth doesn't mean it changes the worth. What about your life needs an edit?" Welcome to the Chapter Two Finale of Conversations with Candice! We are closing the doors on our season on Love & Relationships with one of the most explosive, crucial episodes yet. 📢 FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT: VIDEO IS MOVING TO SUBSTACK FOR CHAPTER 3! This is your final warning: starting in Chapter Three, full-length video episodes will live exclusively behind a paid paywall on Substack! Free audio will always remain 30 minutes on all podcast networks (Spotify, Apple, Acast), but the full 1-hour video experience, deep dives, exclusive monthly live sessions, and private community chat will live solely on Substack. (Plus, an announcement on Chapter Three's theme: Parental Relationships, Estrangement & Family Dynamics!) Inside the Dilemma Inbox today: Dilemma 1 (Financial Abuse, 19-Year Age Gap & Deception): A listener trapped in a 6-year marriage to a man 19 years her senior—who lied about secret children on their wedding day, bled her savings dry, and refuses to support her—asks if she is overreacting by wanting a divorce. Candice delivers her "doctorate in life lessons" response, while Bode steps in with vital legal counsel on Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), spousal visas, and exiting safely. Dilemma 2 (Femicide, Heartbreak & Staying Hopeful): How do we stay hopeful about love in light of heartbreak, abuse, and femicide statistics? Candice reflects on personal tragedy, the power of choice, and why we cannot over-index on negativity or give up on good love. Knowing Your Worth & Setting Your Price: Candice's powerful opening monologue on setting your own value in business and personal relationships. No experts, no perfection. Just real conversations about life as we're actually living it. 📚 READ & JOIN US ON SUBSTACK Join the inner circle on Substack to catch full 1-hour video episodes in Chapter 3, exclusive articles, and private chat groups: Substack Profile: https://candicebrathwaite.substack.com 🔗 LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE ACROSS CHANNELS Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ifcRNeOOcHOgovuhk9i2K?si=6c87234b263c4547 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/conversations-with-candice/id1882427274 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/54f972c1-650d-401a-8418-cf499de44b24/conversations-with-candice Acast RSS Feed: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/conversations-with-candice 📱 FOLLOW CANDICE ON SOCIALS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/candicebrathwaite TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@candicebrathwaite 🎬 PRODUCTION NOTES & CREDITS Produced by: Undeniable Productions Executive Produced by: Candice Brathwaite Aboderin and Bode Aboderin Enjoyed this episode?
