The Bottom Line Is

Caregiving can change every part of your life—including how you see yourself.

In this episode of *The Bottom Line Is…*, Sierra sits down with Monique Duell for an honest and emotional conversation about how caregiving changes your identity. When your days become centered around appointments, advocacy, responsibilities, and constantly showing up for someone else, it can be easy to lose sight of the person you were before becoming a caregiver.

Monique shares her personal caregiving journey, the emotional weight of putting others first, and what it takes to reconnect with yourself outside of the caregiver role. Together, Sierra and Monique discuss caregiver burnout, guilt, changing relationships, loss of independence, and the struggle to make space for your own needs, dreams, and identity.

This conversation is for every family caregiver who has ever wondered, “Who am I outside of caring for everyone else?”

You are more than your responsibilities. You are more than the strong one. And your identity still matters.

Is healing from depression possible?

Healing isn't always linear, and it doesn't mean every difficult day disappears.

It means learning, growing, asking for help, and finding hope one step at a time.

This conversation with Domonique Briggs is one you'll want to save and share.
