Hi, I’m Candice Bradfield

My goal is to share the knowledge, strategies and practical steps I took to stop being a people pleaser and become someone who sets healthy boundaries with confidence.

I’ve been on a personal development journey for over 20 years. I’ve read COUNTLESS self-help books, watched motivational speakers and repeated more affirmations than I can remember. But nothing worked for long. I kept ending up back at square one – exhausted, emotionally drained and wondering what I was doing wrong.

For most of my life, I felt like something was missing, but nothing actually taught me what it was. Meanwhile, people were taking advantage of me in ways I didn’t even recognise. I was so focused on being there for everyone – being the best friend, family member and employee – that I had no time or energy left for myself. My mental and physical health suffered, but I kept pushing through.

Eventually, I realised why all my attempts to set boundaries hadn’t worked: I was missing a crucial step – foundational emotional education. Without it, all the personal development advice I was learning was built on shaky ground.

That’s why I created this free guide and my course, "Setting Healthy Boundaries for Students + Young Professionals"**. I don’t want you to have to go through what I did.

Life can be so much easier when you have the right foundation.

**Open to students and adults of all ages!
