00:00Look at that form I'm giving you, look at that form, look at that curve.
00:06My name is Candice Brathwaite, I'm an author, entrepreneur and mother and this is my Sunday.
00:12I would sum up my Sunday as restorative, Sunday to me, that's my church.
00:17I get up about 5.30 even on a Sunday.
00:20I love going cycling, it's just time to like ground and centre myself.
00:25Every day, especially with children, is going to be hectic at some point but at least I've
00:29held on to this moment of calm really early in the day.
00:33I think a lot of parental anxiety isn't from what's happening, it's from not feeling like
00:39you're prepared.
00:40Feeling organised means that I'm not feeling flustered.
00:44So Sunday in this house is Pancake Day, hello.
00:52I love keeping my fruit crisp and fresh, it's amazing how well this fridge does that.
01:00Bro, look at that drip.
01:04The first crepe is always horrendous, do not get hard on yourself but when I see that stack
01:10start to pile up and they're looking really good, that's my favourite part.
01:14Creating the tradition of having pancakes on a Sunday is creating memories.
01:19My dad was very respectful of a Sunday.
01:22Super hard worker but Sunday, it's good tunes, it's good cooking.
01:27Seriously Esmo?
01:29Oh dad, you look like, you look like the lion king.
01:33Esmo, you are funny.
01:34There are certain things I could smell or hear now that put me in my dad's kitchen and I want
01:40my children to have that moment.
01:41It's like roots, you know?
01:43No matter where they travel to or what they do, it's their comfort.
01:47The day Sunday means to me just connecting with myself and slowing down, especially prior
01:53to lockdown.
01:54There just seemed to be this incorrect idea that success aligned with living life at 200
02:00miles per hour.
02:01Lockdown came along and then Sundays especially became to me really sacred.
02:05It's using that time to keep the parts of you alive that you might keep quiet Monday to
02:11Saturday.
02:12Sunday's that time for you to come alive.
