MOMENT | Choosing authenticity, even when it isn’t what others want to hear, with Candice Braithwaite
About this episode
Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead. Today’s Moment is an emotional and deeply moving clip from my conversation with Candice Brathwaite. Candice shares the boundaries she’s had to set, the loneliness that can come with standing in her truth, and the heavy costs of being the “black sheep” in her family. With honesty and courage, she reflects on what it means to live authentically—even when it means breaking away from tradition, facing criticism, and sometimes feeling alone. Yet, as Candice shares so beautifully, she couldn’t imagine living any other way. Her story is a powerful reminder that living in alignment with your truth can feel isolating, but it can also create legacy, freedom, and deep impact for generations to come.
