   I'm Not the Same Woman I Was | Caregiver Burnout, Turning 40 & Finding Myself Again

   Who are you when you stop being everything to everybody else? For the season finale of The Bottom Line Is…, we're switching things up! Licensed counselor Shardae Carter of Dae to Dae Counseling Services takes over the mic and puts me, Cece, in the hot seat. After more than 17 years of caregiving, navigating career changes, building businesses, and approaching my 40th birthday, I'm reflecting on the woman I used to be, the sacrifices I've made, and the woman I'm becoming. We're getting into caregiver burnout, resentment, relationships, motherhood, egg freezing, mental health, friendships, and what happens when life doesn't follow the timeline you imagined. This conversation is personal, vulnerable, funny, and a reminder that you can love the life you've built while still wanting more for yourself. The bottom line is… I'm not the same woman I was, and that's okay. If this episode resonates with you, follow The Bottom Line Is… on Spotify, share it with a friend, and let me know: What's one thing you've learned about yourself as you've gotten older?
