The Balanced Wheel Story

At Balanced Wheel, we understand that the loss of a loved one is one of life’s most profound challenges. Grief can feel isolating, overwhelming, and all-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be the end of your story. 

We believe that everyone who has experienced loss deserves the opportunity to heal, rebalance, and rebuild their lives. That’s why we’re here—to provide compassionate emotional support and practical tools to help you navigate the complexities of grief and rediscover purpose, strength, and joy.

Our mission is to help you move from grief to growth, offering guidance and resources to help you heal, rebalance, and thrive.

Our Founding

A Journey Born from Loss

Balanced Wheel was founded by Tolulope Olajide on 30 September 2020, six months after the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Chidinma. Tolu’s life changed overnight when he became a widower and the sole caregiver to their two young children, aged just 4 months and 2 years. In the midst of his grief, Tolu began writing a blog to share his journey—his pain, his struggles, and his efforts to adjust to a life he never imagined .

What started as a personal outlet to connect with family and friends during the Covid-19 pandemic soon grew into something much larger. Tolu’s candid storytelling resonated with others who were also navigating loss. His words offered comfort, hope, and practical advice to those facing similar challenges. Inspired by the legacy of his late wife and driven by a desire to help others, Tolu transformed Balanced Wheel into a registered charity in the UK and Wales in February 2021.

Today, Balanced Wheel is a beacon of hope for those grieving the loss of a loved one. We provide emotional support, practical resources, and a compassionate community to help individuals heal, rebalance, and rebuild their lives.

The Meaning Behind Our Name

Why “Balanced Wheel”?

The wheel is a powerful metaphor for life. It represents wholeness, balance, and the interconnected dimensions of our existence—emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, social, physical, and spiritual. Life’s journey is filled with bumps and challenges that can knock our wheels out of alignment. The loss of a loved one is one of the most significant adversities we can face, often leaving us feeling unbalanced and unable to move forward. At Balanced Wheel, we believe that even in the face of profound loss, it’s possible to heal, rebalance, and rebuild. Our mission is to help you realign your wheel, piece by piece, so you can move forward with strength, resilience, and renewed purpose. We’re here to guide you through the process of healing, offering support and tools to help you find balance and joy in life once again.
