Mall World: The Dream Trap They Don’t Want You to Wake From

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?

I Fell in Love with My Psychiatrist

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.  Contact Candice: info@mdmaq.com Become a guest on the podcast: https://forms.office.com/r/5C9UQ0cUsd?origin=lprLink The Official Podcast Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5q8LUAgc3IwTWmY7TBNSbH Follow Candice on Twitter/X: https://x.com/maniccandice Follow Candice on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKGOI8cy7Df/ Follow Candice on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maniccandice Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ManicCandice

The Fatherless Crisis In America

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.- Info@mdmaq.com

I Didn’t Know It Was Grooming
