In this insightful episode, Dr. Slava is joined by her co-hosts, JD Yusef and Dr. Ihab, for a candid discussion on how traditional Arab gender role expectations shaped the mindsets of their parents—and how those beliefs, in turn, influenced their own immigrant journeys.
Together, they reflect on questions such as:
- How did these cultural expectations impact their sense of identity and belonging?
- In what ways did these inherited mindsets either help or hinder their integration into Western society?
- What shifts in thinking were necessary to create empowered paths forward in their new environments?
With personal stories and deep cultural insights, this episode offers an authentic look at the intersection of heritage, gender, and mindset—revealing both the challenges and the resilience within immigrant experiences.
If you’re passionate about culture, mindset, personal growth, or the immigrant journey—this episode is for you.
