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.
