Candice Braithwaite gets real on female breadwinning | Ep. 12 Working Hard, Hardly Working Podcast

Candice Brathwaite is a Sunday Times best-selling author, presenter and journalist, and I'm so grateful to have sat down with her for the latest episode of my Working Hard, Hardly Working podcast.

Initially a content creator and ‘mumfluencer’, Candice Brathwaite began posting on her socials in 2015 to document her own journey of motherhood.

While Candice was keen to represent the realities that young black families face, and steer away from the existing ‘yummy mummy’ stereotype online, the realities of the blogger industry appeared a little harsher than expected.

A great chat about everything from her traumatic experiences in birth, female 'breadwinners' to her journey as a best-selling author.

thank you for watching!
