In this episode of Playing the Big, Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita welcomes Candy the Creator, a powerful business mentor for women who are ready to collapse timelines and create quantum success. Candy’s story is about more than scaling a business — it’s about soul-led expansion, future-self embodiment, and unlocking a new paradigm of growth through business energetics.

Together they explore…

• What "business energetics" really means (and why it changes everything)
• How to create quantum leaps by building from your future self
• Why soul-led speed beats waiting for the "perfect" moment
• The connection between energetic capacity and scaling impact
• How to trust your soul downloads and lead beyond your current limits

Candy’s wisdom is a powerful reminder: playing the big, beautiful long game isn’t about grinding harder — it’s about unapologetically embodying the limitless version of yourself that’s already within!

If you’re ready to collapse time, ignite your soul’s vision, and leap into the life you were born to lead, this episode will spark the shift you've been waiting for.

Learn More About Candy
From full-time nurse working 100-hour fortnights to business powerhouse and industry disruptor, Candy’s journey wasn't traditional — but neither is her success.

She built her brand from the ground up, scaling to $430K in her first year, growing from 3K to 17K followers organically, and leading two sold-out Australian tours — all while refusing to follow the watered-down strategies that keep most entrepreneurs stuck.

Candy knows what it's like to hustle for a dream that feels impossible, to feel torn between stability and chasing something bigger. That’s why she now teaches women how to create a magnetic personal brand, master high-converting visibility, and step into their full, unapologetic power online — without burnout or playing small.
