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.

101. The #1 Reason Your Biggest Goal Isn’t Happening (Yet)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Did you have a goal you wanted to achieve last year, and you've recently moved it to the “this year for sure” list?
I got you!
In this episode, I break down The Action Gap — the space between what you say you want and what you’re actually doing to get it.
This is the episode that lovingly calls out the excuses, the hoping-for-the-best energy, and the belief that motivation will magically appear, we cover:
- Why most people don’t achieve their goals (and why that doesn’t have to be you)
- The Action Gap — and how it quietly sabotages progress
- Common goals people keep recycling year after year (career, health, confidence, friendships, boundaries)
- Why “waiting for motivation” is a trap
- How action creates momentum — not the other way around
- Candice’s 5-Step Framework to Close the Action Gap:
If 2026 is the year you want to stop talking about goals — and start achieving them — this episode is your loving kick up the bum.
