SE01E06 - Balancing Caregiving, Self-care and Business with Aisha and Sandra of Steady Care LLC

Author: Sara Orellena September 25, 2025 Duration: 16:57

Welcome to The Route to Success, the podcast where we explore the journeys of changemakers, innovators, and leaders making an impact in communities across the United States. I’m your host, Sara Orellana, and today we’re spotlighting two incredible women—Aisha and Sandra—the founders of Steady Care LLC.

Their mission is both powerful and deeply personal: to provide comprehensive mental health services to veterans, active-duty service members, and their families as they transition to civilian life. With lived connections to the military community, they’ve designed a program that breaks down barriers, removes red tape, and delivers wraparound support—not just for the individual, but for the entire family.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about the inspiration behind Steady Care, the challenges of balancing clinical work with launching a business, and the strategies they’re using to create a sustainable, purpose-driven venture. If you care about mental health, veterans, or building stronger communities, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
