If you’re a mom feeling exhausted, invisible, or like you’ve lost your spark, this conversation is your call to pause, reset, and rise. Ashley unpacks the spiritual and emotional toll modern motherhood takes on women and offers a clear, Christ-centered path back to purpose, peace, and power. About the Guest:Ashley P.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana fills in for Avik and speaks with Prakash Radhakrishnan, a UK-based logistics professional and devoted caregiver. Prakash opens up about growing up with two siblings with special needs and how caregiving became second nature to him. He breaks the stereotype that caregiving is a female role, shares the emotional toll it often takes, and reveals how he navigates resilience, emotional fatigue, and support while managing a demanding global career. From mental exhaustion to the silent stressors caregivers face, Prakash gives voice to what often goes unseen and unheard. This conversation is not just about caregiving—it’s about empathy, inclusion, and creating support systems in families, workplaces, and communities. About the Guest:Prakash Radhakrishnan is a global logistics expert and passionate advocate for caregivers. With lived experience balancing a high-stress career and caregiving for siblings with complex needs, he now works to raise awareness, challenge societal norms, and support caregivers through storytelling and action.

Consistent small actions—like a phone call—can deeply impact those we care for. Caregivers need support systems too—resilience can’t be sustained alone.
