Ready to lead without losing it? This podcast is for leaders who are navigating change, conflict and uncertainty at work and life, while still trying to show up with clarity, confidence, and composure.
I’m Kandia, your personal hype woman turned self-leadership strategist, helping you think clearly, communicate effectively, and lead with intention when it matters most.
Because most of us don't struggle with what to do, we struggle with staying composed while doing it.
So around here, we talk about what leadership development often misses:
how you manage your thoughts, emotions, and decisions in the moments that test you.
From handling pushback and difficult conversations to breaking cycles of self-doubt and overthinking, this podcast gives you practical tools to lead yourself first so that you can lead others better.
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting too quickly, second-guessing your decisions, or trying to hold it all together under pressure, you’re in the right place.

Stop Side-Eyeing "The Easy Way Out w/Martice Sutton

Spoiler Alert: Going through a struggle doesn't always lead to success. So can we just say NO to accepting struggle as a part of the process to achieving next level success in our careers ( as well as our relationships)? Can we normalize rewarding ourselves without it being tied to an outcome or level of productivity?
If you ever bought into the idea that you have to struggle or work hard before you reward yourself or achieve success, you'll want to listen to my latest episode with Martice Sutton.
Martice is a social impact consultant and Founder & CEO of Girls Going Global. She's impacted over 5,000 people in the U.S. and around the world. Her work has been recognized by the NonProfit Quarterly Journal, White House United States of Woman as a Changemaker, The Travel Channel, Centric TV, Marie Claire, and Black Enterprise.
Recently, Martice decided to take a career break in Mexico so, in today's episode, we discuss:
- Mindset mistakes making your life harder than it needs to be.
- Limiting thoughts and beliefs that get in the way of living your life to the fullest potential.
- Warning signs it’s time to take a career break.
- Why and how she chose Mexico for a career break destination.
- Apps and websites she used to plan a career break properly. Plus things to consider when budgeting for a career break.
- The weekly action she takes to maintain her mental health and wellness since relocating to Mexico.
