B. Simone welcomes her longtime best friend, Candice, to Let’s Try This Again for an unfiltered conversation about the highs and lows of motherhood, marriage, and navigating life with PCOS. From postpartum struggles to faith-driven growth, the duo keeps it raw and relatable, proving that no one truly has it all figured out—but the journey is always worth it.
Overcoming PCOS: From Frustration to Healing
Candice opens up about her battle with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), a condition that led to unexpected weight gain and fertility challenges. After trying countless treatments—including medication like Ozempic—she found success through a holistic approach, which included a year-long detox and a transformative trip to Honduras. Her dedication to spreading awareness even took her to Congress, where she advocated for those struggling with the condition.
Motherhood & Marriage: The Beautiful Chaos
Becoming both a wife and a mother within the same year was no easy feat for Candice. She gets real about sleep deprivation, postpartum body changes, and the importance of seeking help, from hiring a sleep trainer to leaning on her support system. B. Simone and Candice also reflect on how motherhood shifted their perspective—social media validation and chasing views no longer hold the same weight when real life is happening behind the scenes.
Faith, Growth & Letting Go of the Past
Candice credits her husband for leading their household spiritually, highlighting how faith became the foundation of their relationship despite coming from different religious backgrounds. She emphasizes the power of putting God first, how it’s strengthened their marriage, and why having a partner aligned in spiritual values is crucial.
As the episode wraps up, Candice shares a sweet moment with her daughter, Ocean Crystal, before teasing a future conversation with her husband about their faith and relationship journey.
Whether you’re a new mom, navigating health challenges, or simply trying to find balance in life, this episode is packed with wisdom, honesty, and inspiration.
