Closet Confessions

309

Got something to confess sis…?


Good job because author and journalist, Candice Brathwaite, and actress and online personality, Coco Sarel, are inviting you into their closet of confession to drop their truths, and yours…


Come and confess to us cousins, it’s *totally* anonymous and there’s nothing off-limits. Send in your secrets: https://forms.gle/isf8odGDSn1S3FSz7


Oh, and don’t forget - what’s said in the closet, stays in the closet…

    Why Is There Nothing To The 5-Year Anniversary Episodes
    Typically this show is great, but I was disappointed to realize the 5-year anniversary episodes were in the neighborhood of 24 minutes long. Why is that the case? You ladies have SO much material and I was really looking forward to a trip down memory lane? Did someone not have time to produce or edit? Each of these episodes should have been at least 90 minutes.

    Sooo truuuuu
    The only podcast that makes me laugh at the most inopportune moments but you love them for it. Thank you ladies!

    Sister Friends!
    I love this show. As a black American woman living in the Midwest, these are the girlies I need in my life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Also, the “I’m Going to Jail” episode is a must listen!! Candice, please share more aging experiences so we know what to expect.

    THE FRIENDS I WISH I HAD IRL
    Love love this podcast. These two are the realest and that’s what I appreciate the most. In an era where so many are playing pretend these two say it like it is and I’m here for it! You can hear the real from Candace falling out of chair moments to Sarel hallelujahs lol I’m here for it all. I live for the extra extra with the intro too cuz I’m like that. I love love this podcast. Feels like your chatting with friends you’ve know for 10 years.

    My favorite podcasts
    i try to get into more podcasts but they never hit like this one, the energy is unmatched and their laughs are contagious absolutely love this podcast.
  • ShaneyO4
    Love it
    While I do throughly enjoy this podcast and both ladies, I can’t help but notice how often Candice will cut Sarel off and would take over the conversation. Again I LOVE this podcast and enjoy both of you ladies, but it would be nice for Sarel to freely talk without being interrupted.

    We’re Better Than This
    I was excited for the season 5 premiere, but I was so disappointed to hear you two tear down one woman to raise another up. I actually had to turn off the podcast, it was so disappointing. That is such a toxic mentality, and it’s COMPLETELY unnecessary to discredit the successes of one woman to defend another, especially when they publicly support each other. Do better.

    Highly needed and fully obsessed!
    Before the pandemic, I used to listen to podcasts all the time on my commute to school, and then we went online, and I stopped. I was randomly trying to get back into it, and Closet Confessions was randomly recommended on Apple Podcast. I knew Sarel from TikTok so I was pleasantly surprised to see she had this podcast. My Pisces sisters hit every single time. I feel seen and heard in every aspect. I binged this like crazy, and so few podcasts have the right amount of messiness, community, pop culture, and real-world, concrete advice. Podcasts that read dilemmas tend to prioritize the jokes over the quality of content. Sarel and Candice have a refreshing authenticity—two successful Black women who seem to take pride in their work and the community they’ve created. I do wish they had a Patreon. I want to talk to people about my favorite podcast!

    Everything I needed
    I came across a video on tik tok of you two and instantly fell in love. I finally had a moment to listen to the podcast and listened to 2024 discipline epi and…. It was everything I needed and more to start the year. Just perfect. I was hysterically laughing and also ran to get a pen to take notes. SO good ladies. You have a new forever listener and fan. I can’t wait to see all you both accomplish!!!
  • FunGirlyGirl

    I am so grateful for this podcast and the space that these two have created for women. I laugh till I cry, I learn something every episode and I always feel a sense of calm and joy when the episode is over. Give these Women the world and they will make it better. All my love and support.

    Candice and Sarel are absolute gems who know how to drop gems. I feel seen listening to this podcast and feel empowered to heal and search for my North Star regardless who believes in me. May source, the universe, God, whoever, bless the both of you beyond your wildest dreams. Love you both. Peace and blessings.

    I Never Rate Podcasts
    But…This podcast is HILARIOUS, and yet I still learn so much about relationships, self-worth, culture, how to be a better ally, etc. The list goes on and on. I LOVE listening to the pod and cannot wait for more live shows. Xoxo

    OBSESSED
    I found this podcast on TikTok and I’m so grateful! I’d been wanting to find a new podcast to add to my weekly rotation and this is beyond perfect. Sarel and Candice are the perfect mix of insightful, wise, relatable, and funny. As a Black American woman, I’m so grateful for the example of how to embody sisterhood, friendship, grace, and my own self worth in my personal and professional life. I walk away from each episode feeling seen, affirmed, inspired. Thank you for all that you do, Sarel and Candice.

    10/10
    This is the first podcast I started in the comedy genre. Typically I listen to true crime but I wanted to change it up. You two queens are freaking hilarious and I always find myself cackling with laughter as if Im in the room with you, thank you for reminding me that us black women are gifts.

    These two are so fully themselves! They are so funny, and in their realness they challenge all of us to be authentic with ourselves. Love love love.
  • tiffany___x
    Hooked!
    This is exactly what I needed. I can’t relate completely as I am not from the UK or in the entertainment business, but as a woman, a mother, a wife, an introvert… these are the things I need to hear, expressed. I couldn’t be the only one. You two are a breathe of fresh air. I’m obsessed.
  • Btims12
    Bravo!
    Well ladies.. I have binged your entire catalog. I have cackled and cried. I have learned and felt tremendous validation with the help of your insight. Thank you! My only question for you two is what am I supposed to listen to now?? Looking forward to every new release. xoxo from Atlanta, Georgia.

    Amazing!
    I love that I knew Candice from TikTok first before listening to the podcast! It really set the tone and I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. You two have amazing chemistry and your laughter, song breaks, and inside jokes really make the podcast that much more entertaining.

    The Best To Ever Do it!!!!!
    The best podcasting duo of all time! I have grown, I have laughed, I have reflected, I have cried, I have adjusted my perspective on so many things that I just needed to hear another black woman say for some reason and it has given me lifeeeeee. I can’t wait to see you ladies love because I feel like we are family! Thank you for all that you do from Candice’s closet! Love you bad! -a Miami girlie 💕
  • A. McNamara
    If you need a break from true crime, listen to this podcast!
    I have only listened halfway through the most recent episode and I love it already! The hosts clearly enjoy their time together and it has feel-good, empowering content that doesn’t feel too preachy. I wish I would’ve had this podcast when I was in my early-20’s; I’m sure I would’ve stepped into my power much, much sooner than I did. Better late than never, though. 👊🏼
  • Vandybeauty29

  • Ooo-ka-cha-ka
    Fun, Smart, Joyful!
    This is the best, most-joyful, fun podcast. I love their friendship and banter. I can't say enough about how much I love them! Found them on reels, loved the vibe so much I came to find the podcast. I've been binging eps ever since!
  • watsonavenue
    Hilarious and down-to-earth
    Found you two on Insta and your clips were so funny I had to find the podcast and listen. You’re smart and hilarious! So relatable the way you both talk through the confessions and issues people come with. I’m not Black but a woman of color (in the US) and relate deeply to the issues people bring up. This podcast is such a nice space for women of color 💜 a great break from the YT women dominating the podcast space!
  • Ahsnaps
    Big Ups to you two 🙏🏾🤎👏🏾
    First off 31 y.o. american listener 🫶🏾 Now Listen.....this podcast is cheaper than therapy. Its got laughs, deep moments, life lessons, a word, and a sermon all in one. I binged through and have accepted Candice and Sarel as my podcast self care. Amen & Amen'd again.
