What happens when your dream career becomes real — and the weight of it is heavier than expected?

In this episode, we sit down with Lala Akindoju, acclaimed casting director and co-producer of global films including Iwaju and The Black Book. Lala shares what it’s taken to build a career she’s proud of — while juggling motherhood, grief, burnout and the pressure to always deliver.

From navigating industry expectations to holding onto integrity and faith, this conversation is a raw and honest look at what it really costs to build a career that matters — and why she’s still committed to showing up.
