In a candid statement, Carol shared that she chose to step down from her radio show on LBC, where she had been working. The decision came after she realized that her recent health scare was a “warning sign” to slow down.
Carol revealed that for years, she had worked tirelessly, often seven days a week. However, after feeling the effects of accumulated fatigue, she found herself hospitalized. Fortunately, after several tests and evaluations, it was determined that there were no serious or underlying health issues.
Decision to slow down
After a heartfelt conversation with her family and closest friends, Carol made the difficult decision to limit her work to Monday through Friday, which means she will no longer host her Sunday show on LBC. In an Instagram post, she explained:
“After working seven days a week for as long as I can remember, I finally burned out just over two weeks ago and ended up spending the night in the hospital. Fortunately, after many tests, we found out that I don’t have any underlying health issues.”
“So, after a serious talk with my family and friends, I took the health scare as a warning sign to slow down a bit and now I will focus on working only during weekdays.”
While the presenter was sad to give up her Sunday show, which she described as “really lively and a total joy”, she assured fans that she is not saying goodbye to LBC entirely.
Carol reassured her followers, stating that she will continue to be part of the “LBC family” and make occasional appearances. She thanked the public for their ongoing support and promised that, despite reducing her workload, she will continue to “cause trouble” and call out corruption and injustice.
