The Shake Up Podcast with Candice Harvey

Candice Harvey

Welcome to The Shake Up Podcast, hosted by Performance Coach & Life Enthusiast, Candice Harvey. This podcast is designed for business owners, employees, and none of the above - designed to give you the shake up you didn’t even know you needed (except, let’s be honest, you did) to get you thinking differently, making changes, and with the sole purpose of creating and living a life you love. Candice will be in your ears every week talking about all things human behaviour - why people do what they do, but more importantly why people don't do what they wish they could do. So if you’re ready to learn something new and apply something different to your life that is simple, fun and feels more like you… then you’re in the right place. It’s SO possible to create and live a life you love. So, let’s get started with The Shake Up.

    Send Candice a text!

    Let’s get real — when was the last time you actually had fun at work?

    If you’re sitting there scratching your head or thinking, “Fun? At work? Yeah, right,” then this episode is for you. Because I’m about to drop some truth bombs on why fun isn’t just a “nice-to-have” — it’s the secret sauce for happier humans and smashing it Monday to Friday.

    Yep, that’s right. The F word we rarely talk about in the office isn’t what you think. It’s fun — and it’s about time we brought it back to the daily grind.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    • Why ditching your “serious pants” might be the best career move you make this year
    • How fun boosts creativity, connection, and yes, even productivity
    • The sneaky reasons adults forget how to have fun (spoiler: life gets in the way)
    • Five no-nonsense ways to inject more fun into your workday — no clown suits required
    • Real-life stories from workshops where fun flipped the switch on energy and engagement

    Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive the 9–5, this episode will give you permission (and practical hacks) to bring your full, fun self to work.

    Plus, if you want your team laughing, connecting, and performing at their best in 2026, hit me up at [email protected] or DM me on socials to chat about workshops that actually make fun happen.

    Because here’s the deal — fun isn’t fluff. It’s fuel.

    95. The 5 Things High-Performing Individuals & Teams Will Prioritise in 2026. Get ahead of the trends before they arrive.

    Send Candice a text!

    Today’s episode is a big one — and it’s all about getting ahead before 2026 arrives.

    As someone whose job is to help people perform better — at work, in life, and everything in between — I’ve noticed a pattern. Most people want next year to be better but aren’t sure how to make that happen.

    So this episode is your head start: I’m sharing the 5 things high-performing individuals and teams will prioritise in 2026 to make it their best year yet.

    With the year wrapping up fast, now is the perfect time to stop spinning your wheels and start working smarter — not harder. These aren’t fluffy buzzwords. They’re the practical mindsets, habits, and behaviours that actually set people apart and drive results.

    Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why emotional agility and resilience will be your secret weapon against stress and unexpected curveballs
    • How to set clear, purpose-driven goals that make motivation stick and action easier
    • The digital and hybrid work skills you must master to thrive in today’s workplace — because chaotic calendars and endless Teams messages aren’t going anywhere
    • Why continuous learning and a growth mindset aren’t optional if you want to keep leveling up
    • How to create intentional wellbeing and real work-life harmony that fuels your energy and protects your boundaries

    Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive the daily grind, this episode will help you hit reset and start planning for a phenomenal 2026.

    And if you want to support your team in making the shift, my ‘Chaos to Calm’ workshop is perfect for heading into the new year. Reach out at [email protected]

    Because your best year yet isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what actually works.

    94. The Becoming a Goal Getter episode has made a comeback - and it's better than ever!

    Send Candice a text!

    This time last year, I dropped an episode that quickly became one of the most downloaded—and for good reason. It’s all about becoming a Goal Getter, not just a Goal Setter. I gave it a fresh listen recently, and yep, you OGs were right—it’s a goodie!

    In this episode, I’m revisiting the 5 key traits that separate the people who actually achieve their big goals from those who write them down and watch them fade away. Plus, I’ve updated this year’s Goal Getting Guide with a fresh look to help you crush 2026 like never before.

    Because let’s be honest: setting goals is easy. Doing the work? Not so much.

    If you’ve ever found yourself hyped on January 1st and then by February, your goals feel like a distant memory—this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to ditch the fluff, get clear on what really matters, and become a Goal Getter—someone who owns their goals, takes action, and keeps momentum even when life throws curveballs.

    Here’s what you’ll get in this episode:

    • Why clarity is the make-or-break ingredient for smashing your goals
    • How to stop endless planning and become addicted to action instead
    • The mindset shifts that turn setbacks into comebacks
    • Why accountability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s your secret weapon
    • How to build unstoppable momentum that keeps you going long after motivation fades


    I also share stories from my coaching clients and some fun personal wins (and struggles!) on my own journey toward 2026.

    92. The Corporate Chameleon Trap. Why changing yourself to fit in is killing your career growth.

    Send Candice a text!

    Today, we’re talking about why changing yourself to fit in at work is quietly killing your career growth — and what to do instead.

    Because here’s the truth: most people have two versions of themselves — their work self and their real self.

    And while it might seem harmless, that gap between the two is exactly what’s leaving you tired, disconnected, and holding back your best work.

    Inside this episode, we dive into:

    • The real reason people switch into ‘work mode’ — and why it’s costing them more than they realise
    • The three ways changing yourself to fit in is sabotaging your career (and confidence)
    • What happens when you start showing up as your youest you — even if it feels uncomfortable at first
    • Three practical ways to bring more of you into work (and perform even better because of it)

    If you’ve ever felt like you have to tone it down, play a role, or wear your “professional” mask just to survive the workday — this one’s for you.

    It’s time to stop performing and start showing up. Because your real self is exactly what your career needs next.

    91. Why Overwhelm Is Gold. The surprising upside of being stretched (and how to use it to level up).

    Send Candice a text!

    Today’s episode is a big one — because as someone whose job is to help people perform better (in work, life, and everything in between), I’ve noticed something lately… almost everyone is feeling it.

    Yep — the O word.
    Overwhelm.

    With only six and a half weeks left in the year, it’s that messy, magical time when we’re trying to finish the year strong while also holding it all together. Deadlines, catch-ups, inboxes, social plans — it’s a perfect storm.

    But here’s the twist: overwhelm isn’t bad. In fact, it’s gold.

    In this episode, I’m unpacking why feeling stretched can actually be one of the best things that happens to you — and how to turn that chaos into clarity.

    Inside this episode, we dive into:

    • What overwhelm actually is (and why it’s not a sign of weakness
    • The three most common ways people react when they’re overwhelmed — and what yours might be
    • Five powerful reasons overwhelm is a gift if you learn to see it differently
    • A practical 5-step tool (P.A.U.S.E.) you can use every single time overwhelm hits
    • How to reset, refocus, and come out the other side calmer, clearer, and more in control


    Whether you’re a leader trying to hold it all together or a human who’s just… tired — this one will help you breathe again.

    And if your team is feeling this too, my ‘Chaos to Calm’ workshop might be exactly what they need heading into 2026. You can reach me at [email protected]
    or DM me on social media to chat about how it can help.

    Because overwhelm isn’t the enemy. It’s a message.
    And when you know how to read it — it becomes gold.

    90. What 2025 Has Taught Me (So Far): 10 Lessons That Changed How I Show Up as a Performance Coach — and as a Human

    Send Candice a text!

    I know most people do their yearly reflections in December…
    However, if you didn’t know by now — Candice Harvey does things a little differently.

    And right now, feels like the perfect time to share my 10 biggest learnings of 2025 (so far).

    This year has been full of unexpected moments — the kind that make you stop, question things, and change the way you show up.

    Inside this episode, we dive into:

    • A few lessons that caught me completely off guard
    • The patterns I didn’t see until I slowed down
    • The moments that actually changed me — personally and professionally
    • And what I’m doing differently because of it

    If these 10 things have changed the way I show up as a Performance Coach, there’s a good chance they might be the shake-up you need too.

    If you’ve been feeling like 2025 has been a lot already… this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.

    89. The Shake Up Got a Shake Up - how things have been this year, why I'm back on the pod, and who is The Shake Up Podcast for.

    Send Candice a text!

    The Shake Up Podcast is officially BACK — and so am I!

    After taking almost a year off the mic (and one of my biggest years yet), I’m sharing what’s been happening behind the scenes, what’s changed, and why this podcast needed a shakeup of its own.

    Inside this episode we dive into:

    • Why I pressed pause on The Shake Up — and what I learnt from the silence
    • What’s shifted in my business, my mindset, and my goals for 2025
    • How turning 40, dancing again, and writing a book have all redefined “success” for me
    • The kind of conversations you can expect in this new season — raw, practical, and unapologetically real
    • Why sometimes the best move you can make… is a complete reset

    This episode is honest, it's fun, and it’s a reminder that hitting pause doesn’t mean you’re done — it means you’re getting ready for something better.

    88. Becoming a Goal Getter

    Send Candice a text!

    Goal setting is overrated. That’s right I said it! I know everyone is setting goals at this time of year, but here’s the thing: goal setting is passive, it’s predictable and honestly, it doesn’t work. But what does work is becoming a goal getter. 

    Goal getter’s are people who achieve big life changing things. They aren’t just chasing goals for the sake of it, they have intention and they choose goals that fit into their values. They do what they say what they are going to...

     So many people have already grabbed their copy and started shaking things up — your turn!
