This week, I’m bringing raw emotion and urgent concern to the mic. With the government shutdown threatening to halt SNAP benefits, millions of Americans could face empty plates this November—right before Thanksgiving. What once symbolized gratitude and gathering is now shadowed by fear: how will families afford a holiday meal? I unpack the facts, the human stories, and my anger at how we got here. From rising food prices to policy failures, we’ll explore what this means for children, struggling parents, and communities nationwide—and what we can do to push for real change.

What if that endless dream mall isn’t just a coincidence? In this episode, Candice dives into the eerie phenomenon known as Mall World — a shared dreamscape that’s gone viral on TikTok but may have far darker origins. From her own recurring experiences to theories connecting the GATES program, lucid dreaming, and government experimentation, Candice unpacks why this dream feels too structured, too familiar, and too controlled to be random. Is Mall World a harmless viral trend, or are we walking through a simulation built by design?

In this episode of The Manic Candice Podcast, I dive into the complex and often misunderstood topic of lust and hyper-sexuality. It’s something many people experience but rarely talk about openly. I share why it’s more common than we think, how it can show up in our lives, and why no one should feel alone in this silent struggle. Together, we’ll unpack the shame, stigma, and realities surrounding it — and remind ourselves that being human means we’re never truly isolated in what we go through.

When ADHD coach and TikTok creator @kendrahilty shared her “I fell in love with my psychiatrist” story, it went viral — but not for the reasons she expected. Instead of applause, the internet buzzed with concern, speculation, and criticism, with many questioning whether the oversharing signaled something deeper, like mania or delusion. In this episode, I break down what happened, explore why the video sparked such strong reactions, and unpack the fine line between authenticity and oversharing online.

They said having kids would be the most rewarding thing you'd ever do—but what if that was a lie? In this no-holds-barred episode, we dive into the dark side of parenthood: the moms and dads who wish they never had kids. Inspired by the brutally honest stories from @kelleydaring’s viral TikTok and blog, we explore the raw truth about lost freedom, shattered dreams, relentless pressure, and the kind of regret no one dares admit out loud.
This isn’t for the faint of heart—this is for the ones who wondered what life could’ve been if they chose differently.
What happens when a generation grows up without fathers? In this powerful and personal episode, I dive into the hard truths behind America's fatherless culture. With recent stats showing that 1 in 4 children in the U.S.—over 18 million—live without a biological, step, or adoptive father at home, I unpack the long-term effects of this absence, especially on Black communities.
From increased risks of poverty, incarceration, teen pregnancy, and school dropouts, the data paints a clear picture. I also speak from experience—as someone who grew up without a father, many of these statistics have touched my own life. But this episode isn’t just about numbers—it’s about accountability, generational patterns, and what we can do to break the cycle.
I share my observations on how we got here, why choosing the right co-parent matters more than choosing a forever partner, and why the energy it takes to be present as a parent is nothing compared to the damage that comes from not showing up. Plus, I end on a hopeful note with the undeniable benefits of father involvement.
This is an episode for anyone who's grown up with an absent parent, is thinking about starting a family, or just wants to understand the bigger picture.

At 16, I had my first job—and my first crush. He was older. He was my boss. I thought I was lucky. I wasn’t. In this episode, I walk you through how I was groomed without realizing it until a decade later. I share how everyday actions—schedules, rides home, “coincidences”—were calculated moves. This is a story about manipulation that hides in plain sight, about trusting your gut, and about the anger that comes when you finally see things clearly. If you’re unsure about a situation from your past, or raising a teen—this is the episode I wish someone made for me.

In this explosive episode, Candice dives headfirst into the modern dating landscape and makes a controversial claim: women didn’t just change the game—they broke it. From hookup culture to “hot girl” advice rooted in sex work ideology, we explore how many modern women are adopting mindsets that prioritize profit, detachment, and power plays over connection, intimacy, and genuine partnership.
Why are so many dating strategies today inspired by the logic of commodification? How did the line between empowerment and emotional unavailability get so blurred? And what does this mean for love, trust, and building something real?
Whether you agree or not, you won’t walk away from this one without something to think about.

In one of the most requested follow-ups to “Adderall” and “How To Quit Adderall,” The Manic Candice Podcast dives headfirst into the hardest part of the Adderall journey: management.
This episode is for those who aren’t quitting, but trying to survive. With over a decade on the prescription and a lifetime’s worth of insight, host Candice Banks opens up about what it's really like to be dependent on a legal stimulant—and how to take your power back. From the silent epidemic of misuse to the terrifying reality of amphetamine-induced psychosis, Candice breaks down the blurred lines between treatment, addiction, and identity.
She shares the harsh truth about how abuse begins: when you're chasing highs instead of healing, when your dosage becomes your personality, and when fear of losing your prescription keeps you from speaking out. You’ll learn the four essential steps to managing Adderall safely and intentionally—from finding a purpose for each pill, to learning how to de-center the drug in your life.
This is not medical advice. This is real talk from someone who's lived it—day in, day out, pill by pill. Whether you’re just starting your Adderall journey, trying to regain control, or afraid to speak up, this episode holds space for you.
Your struggle is valid. Your healing is possible. And your questions are always welcome—DM @maniccandice on X or email info@mdmaq.com to continue the conversation.
In this episode of The Manic Candice Podcast, Candice explores the surprisingly complex world of adult friendships—why they’re so hard to form, what gets in the way, and how our changing priorities, routines, and emotional baggage impact our ability to connect. From awkward small talk at work to the exhausting cycle of making plans that never happen, Candice breaks down the psychological, societal, and personal barriers that keep us isolated in a hyperconnected world. With her signature wit and raw honesty, she dives into the loneliness epidemic, the myth of the “ride or die” friend group, and the silent grief of outgrowing people. Whether you’re craving deeper connections or just wondering why your social circle keeps shrinking, this episode offers real talk, real laughs, and a reality check on what friendship looks like after your 20s.
Turning 30 hits different, and not always in a good way. In this episode of The Manic Candice Podcast, I’m laying down the law on everything I’m abolishing this decade. This is your official permission slip to stop explaining yourself, prioritize rest, and start living unapologetically. Consider this the survival guide for your grown woman era. Your 20s were for learning—your 30s are for unlearning. Let’s talk about it.

In this episode of The Manic Candice Podcast, I dive deep into the overwhelming reality of student loan debt in America — the trillion-dollar crisis that’s been trapping generations. I break down the most shocking and little-known facts about repayment, recent policy changes, and how the government is both helping and hurting borrowers. From the SAVE Plan’s surprising benefits to the predatory nature of Parent PLUS loans, I cover it all and ask the real questions: Is this system meant to help us, or keep us in debt forever?
I also touch on the latest headlines that have social media buzzing. We talk about the ongoing Diddy case and the new testimony from Cassie that’s shaking things up. Plus, I give my raw take on the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion situation — especially after reports surfaced that Tory was stabbed in prison and rushed to the hospital. It’s got me asking... did he really shoot Meg? And does Meg even know who did?
If you’re ready for a thought-provoking, unfiltered conversation on money, the justice system, and the blurred lines of fame, tune in now.
