This week’s Professionals episode is a powerful and emotional collaboration with the remarkable Charlotte Bayala creator and host of The Cancer Caregiver Podcast.

Together, we’re giving voice to the truths caregivers often carry but rarely say out loud — the fear, the grief, the quiet resilience, and the love that stretches through even the hardest days.

This episode is raw, reflective, and full of insight for anyone in the cancer space — whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or both.

Charlotte Bayala is a cancer caregiver advocate, breathwork coach, and the creator of the award nominated The Cancer Caregiver Podcast, a show dedicated to supporting the emotional and mental health of caregivers navigating a loved one’s cancer diagnosis. Drawing from over a decade of personal caregiving experience and more than 12 years as a yoga and meditation teacher, Charlotte helps caregivers prioritize their well-being with practical, compassionate tools they can actually use, especially on the hardest days.

Whether through her guided breathing meditations, workshops, or powerful storytelling, Charlotte brings a calm, grounded voice to caregiving conversations that are often overlooked. She’s on a mission to change how we support the people who are holding everything, and everyone, together.
