Guest Episode - Stop Saying Let Me Know If You Need Help

Episode 4: On a Tuesday evening in April, Tomi Fanilola got a FaceTime call that changed everything. Her healthy, vibrant mother, her best friend, her prayer warrior, had just suffered sudden cardiac arrest. She was 59 years old. In this raw conversation, Tomi shares what no one tells you about sudden loss. Why "let me know if you need help" is the laziest response. What actually helps when someone is drowning in grief. And why she'll talk about her mom for the rest of her life, whether people are comfortable with it or not. If you've ever wondered what to actually DO (not say) when someone experiences loss, or if you're grieving right now and need permission to do it your own way, this is for you. IN THIS EPISODE: The reality of sudden loss: operating in shock while still having to functionWhy "let me know if you need help" doesn't work, and what doesWhat grief actually reveals about the people in your lifeThe worst things people say to someone who's grievingWhy you can't "trigger" someone who's already thinking about their loved one 24/7The conversations about legacy and end-of-life planning we avoid (but shouldn't)How to own your grief journey without letting others dictate your timelineLiving intentionally with the people who matter, while you still can ABOUT TOMI FANILOLA: Tomi Fanilola is a vibrant speaker, Wellness Coach, and MC with over 15 years in the beauty industry.

The Conversation We Almost Had

Episode 2: The Conversation We Almost HadI had the chance to ask my mom how she wanted to be buried. We were watching TV. It was just the two of us. Nothing heavy about the moment. I let it go. In this episode, Bola opens up about the conversation she almost had with her mother, and the cost of letting it slip past. But this episode isn't only about the conversations we don't have. It's about what happens to everyone around a loss, not just the person grieving. You'll meet four types of people in this episode. One of them is you. What you'll take away from this episode: The four types of people who exist in every loss, and which one you might be without realizing it. Why "let me know if you need anything" is the lazy way out, and what to do instead. The decision Bola and her four siblings made together that held their family up when nothing else could. What showing up actually looks like when you don't have the words. Why it's never too late to reach out, even if weeks, months, or years have passed. Whether you've recently lost someone, you're supporting someone who has, or you're simply preparing for a conversation you've been putting off, this episode gives you language for what you're carrying, and permission to put some of it down.

Losing Them Changed Everything

Episode 1: 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. IN THIS EPISODE What nobody warns you about when loss arrivesWhy grief comes with a to-do list, and what that actually looks likeThe silence we think is protecting our families, and what it's actually doingWhy love alone is not enough, and what preparation changesThe three types of people sitting with this conversation right nowWhy talking about legacy isn't morbid, it's love in actionSHIFTED ON PURPOSE MOVE OF THE WEEK Download the Future Readiness Check — 15 things your loved ones would wish they knew if something happened to you.
