Divorce doesn’t only end a marriage sometimes it ends a life you spent decades building.

In this episode of the I Got U Podcast, I sit down with Onjeineka, who opens up about being asked for a divorce after 24 years of marriage, while navigating motherhood, identity loss, and deep emotional grief.

We talk about:
• The shock and grief of a long-term marriage ending
• Mourning the future you thought you were going to have
• Being a mother while falling apart inside
• Loneliness, self-doubt, and rebuilding self-worth
• Finding strength when you didn’t choose the ending

This is an honest, vulnerable conversation about the kind of grief that often goes unseen.

If you’re going through divorce, separation, or the quiet grief of starting over later in life, this episode is for you.

You’re not weak.

And you’re not alone.

🤍 I Got U.

Divorce isn’t one story.

Caregiving is an act of love but it also comes with a kind of grief few people talk about.

In this episode, I sit down with Ty Lewis, a special education teacher, reading specialist, and full-time caregiver to her mom living with dementia. Ty shares what it’s like to slowly watch a parent change, how grief can begin long before goodbye, and why caregivers often feel invisible while carrying so much responsibility.

This honest conversation explores:

• Recognizing when memory loss is more than aging

• Navigating anticipatory grief

• Balancing caregiving, work, and emotional health

• Why sharing real caregiving moments online matters

If you’re caring for someone with dementia or loving someone who is, this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and less alone.

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Share with a caregiver who needs this.

In this episode, I sit down with Adria Thompson, a Speech-Language Pathologist and TEDx Speaker, to talk about dementia through the lens of communication, caregiving, and emotional connection.

Adria explains what’s really happening when words, memory, and behavior begin to change and how families can respond with patience instead of frustration.

This conversation offers real tools, clarity, and reassurance for anyone caring for or loving someone with dementia, while also acknowledging the grief that often comes with the journey.

💛 A necessary conversation for families who are trying their best and need guidance, not judgment.

In this heartfelt conversation, I talk with Carrie Aalberts aka Dementia Darling, a Gerontologist and dedicated advocate with over ten years of experience in dementia care.

We explore the real life challenges of dementia: the changing personalities, the emotional toll on families, and the hidden grief that comes when you start to lose someone piece by piece.

Carrie offers compassionate insight and simple tools for caregivers and families from communication tips to ways to bring light and laughter back into the caregiving journey.

💛 A reminder that even as memories fade, love never does.

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked topic of male breast cancer through the personal journey of Juan Namnun, who shares his experience with diagnosis, treatment, and the emotional challenges he faced. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness, education, and changing cultural perceptions around men's health and cancer. Juan emphasizes the need for men to take their health seriously and advocate for themselves, while also addressing the stigma surrounding male breast cancer and the necessity for better support within the medical community.

In this heartfelt episode, Chelle opens up about her breast cancer journey—a story she once kept private. She shares the shock of receiving her diagnosis without compassion, the emotional and spiritual battles that followed, and how she learned to trust God’s timing even when the path felt unfair and unclear.

With her now-husband by her side through every appointment and her son giving her strength, Chelle reflects on resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to let God use you—even when the process feels nothing like you imagined.

This episode is deeply raw. Three Navy women — sisters in service and sisters in battle , open up about the fight they never trained for: breast cancer. One of them is actively fighting Stage 4 right now. Their truth is heavy. But their courage is undeniable.

They talk about what it truly feels like to serve your country, and then serve your own body when it begins to fail you. How strength looks different in a hospital gown versus a uniform. How sisterhood becomes a lifeline. And how grief, fear, faith, and resilience all live in the same breath.

This is not a survivor story told in the past tense. This is the frontline , right now.

In this episode I sit with Keia and she opens up about her journey with breast cancer, a complex diagnosis of 30% ER positive, triple negative, and HER2 negative. She gives us so much more information on doing our breast exam ans also that men get breast cancer as well.

In this episode, I sit down with Kuyunda to talk about her courageous journey through breast cancer. Diagnosed with ER/PR+ invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), she opens up about what it was like to face treatment, the day she lost her hair, and how those moments tested both her strength and her identity.

Kuyunda shares not just the challenges, but also the beauty she found in community, the friends, family, and support systems that carried her when she couldn’t carry herself. Her story is one of resilience, vulnerability, and the reminder that no one has to go through cancer alone.

This conversation is more than just about illness, it’s about transformation, healing, and the power of being surrounded by love.
