Welcome to Girl Listen, the podcast where real women have real conversations. Hosted by the one and only Candice Simmons, a powerhouse who's been in the game for over 20 years, working with Fortune 500 companies and lifting up women to win—both in the boardroom and in life. Candice knows what it's like to juggle it all, and she's here to help YOU do the same, but with a little more grace and a whole lotta truth.
In this season, Candice is getting even more personal. She's not just dropping knowledge—she’s reflecting on her own journey, sharing the lessons learned, the highs, the lows, and the moments in between. She’s here to be transparent about the story that’s still unfolding, showing you that even when you’ve got the experience, the hustle, and the success, you’re still writing your own narrative.
This podcast isn’t just about success; it’s about survival, authenticity, and making it through this crazy thing called life while leaving your mark. Every episode, Candice is keeping it 100—no sugarcoating, no playing small. Girl Listen is a space for you to stop pretending, face the tough stuff, and get real about what’s next. It’s time to take a hard look in the mirror and ask the questions you’ve been avoiding. And guess what? She’s got the answers, the laughs, and the sisterhood to help you through it all.
So if you’re ready to level up, laugh a little, and get the real tea on how to live, work, and thrive, Girl Listen is the space for you. It's not just a podcast—it's a sisterhood. You in? Let’s go.
