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.

109. Becoming Unoffendable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Being unoffendable is one of the most underrated superpowers you can develop - at work, at home, and in life.
When you can hear feedback without taking it personally…
When you can see criticism without spiraling…
When someone says something blunt, weird, or challenging — and you pause instead of react…
You gain clarity.
You gain confidence.
You gain control.
In this episode, I’m unpacking why being unoffendable is key to emotional freedom, career growth, and resilience - and how to actually get there.
This episode covers:
• Why taking offense so easily keeps you stuck in interpretation instead of reality
• How offendability silently stalls your career and limits growth opportunities
• Why building resilience starts with learning not to be triggered
• How unoffendable people regulate their emotions, grow faster, and are harder to manipulate
• Two practical keys to becoming unoffendable: detaching self-worth from others’ opinions and welcoming (not avoiding) offense
This isn’t about letting people walk over you.
It’s about owning your emotional response, separating identity from behaviour, and not letting other people’s words control your life.
