Caring starts early for many of us — and for Olu, it began at just 8 years old. In this powerful episode, meet Olu: a mom, sister, daughter, and entrepreneur navigating the complexities of caregiving while managing everyday life.
From her mother’s mobility challenges and dementia-related memory loss to the emotional toll of in-home care and the difficulty of adapting her home, Olu speaks candidly about the mental exhaustion, cultural expectations, and the unintentional pain that can come from even the most loving intentions.This episode offers heartfelt stories and helpful insights on emotional support, coping, and staying grounded while being squeezed and blessed.
