Losing Them Changed Everything

Nobody warns you that grief doesn't arrive alone.

In the very first episode of Shifted on Purpose, host Bola gets honest about what losing both parents within 100 days of each other actually looked like, not just the grief, but everything that came with it. The decisions that couldn't wait. The questions nobody had answers to. The weight of navigating the hardest season of her life without a roadmap.

This episode is for the person who has never started the conversation. The one who tried and stalled. And the one who has some things in place but knows the real conversation never quite happened.

Wherever you are, you're in the right place.

Because preparation isn't morbid. It isn't dark. It's one of the most loving things you can do for the people you care about most.

The shift starts here.

• What nobody warns you about when loss arrives

What is Shifted On Purpose?

When Bola lost both parents within 100 days of each other, she learned the hard way that grief doesn't come with a roadmap, and neither does everything left behind. Shifted on Purpose is the podcast born from that loss. Each episode opens the conversations most families avoid: grief, legacy planning, estate prep, and relationships. Because it's not about what you leave behind. It's about what you pass forward.
