The Shake Up Podcast with Candice Harvey
Welcome to The Shake Up — your weekly dose of real talk with me, Performance Coach Candice Harvey. I’m a former corporate HR professional, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business helping teams and individuals thrive.
I know Monday to Friday in the corporate world isn’t always cute outfits, hanging with your work bestie, and popping out real quick for a matcha—It’s more like surviving back-to-back meetings that should’ve been quick calls, dodging the people you can’t stand, and pretending you’re still productive by 3pm.
Most of the time, we’re stuck in our own heads, running on autopilot, watching the clock and wondering why we can’t just do the damn thing we said we were going to do.
That’s where me and my fancy rode mic come in. I’m here to shake you up — with straight-talking strategies, a smidge of humour, and my obsession with human behaviour in the workplace… because I get it, I did it for 15 years.
I’m a former corporate HR pro, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business, helping teams and individuals go from “things are busy” to “things are GREAT!”
So, if you’re ready for a nudge at work, a perspective shift, or maybe even a loving kick up the bum… you’re in the right place.

100. How To Set Boundaries In 2026 Without Being A D!ck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Boundaries are everywhere right now.
But somewhere along the way, the meaning got lost.
In this episode, I unpack why “setting boundaries” has become a buzzword — and how it’s often being used to avoid uncomfortable conversations, shut people out, or justify being unkind.
In todays episode I break down:
- What boundaries actually are (and what they’re not)
- The difference between setting a boundary heartfully vs hurtfully
- Why “protecting your energy” isn’t a free pass to be a d!ck
- How to communicate boundaries clearly without burning bridges
- A simple framework to help you set boundaries with confidence, clarity, and respect
If you’ve ever said “that’s just my boundary” — or had it said to you — this episode will help you do it better.
Because real boundaries don’t push people away.
They build stronger, healthier relationships.
🎧 If this episode resonated, share it — especially with someone who’s “setting boundaries” loudly but missing the point.
