A short YouTube monologue by Dr. Cara where multiple speakers (or a single speaker rendered as A/B/C) candidly describe recent life changes—becoming a grandmother—and an unexpected health diagnosis (an abnormal heart). The piece connects personal vulnerability to leadership lessons about prioritizing health, resisting ego-driven over-responsibility, and the danger of believing only you can do the work.
Let me be real with you.
These past several.
Months have been intense.
My life transformed.
From an empty.
Nester.
To a grandmother.
When my daughter had her baby. Oh, my gosh. I still can't believe I'm a grandma.
I've been navigating.
The beautiful chaos of supporting her and my precious.
Grandson while.
Also facing a health challenge that I never expected.
You see, I found.
Out I have an abnormal heart.
And you know what? Prioritizing.
My health has.
Been very difficult.
It's created.
Internal conflicts because there's a voice that says, but people need you.
Your team.
Needs you.
Your family.
Needs you.
And so here's.
Where many leaders get.
Stuck in.
The trap of believing that.
We are the only ones who can.
Do what we do.
But that's not truth.
That's ego wrapped in.
Responsibility.
And it's dangerous.
