In this deeply heartfelt episode, I’m joined by a special guest whose story, though shaped by a different life path, mirrors my own in unexpected ways. Bound by a shared cultural heritage yet marked by different lived experiences, we come together for a raw and honest conversation about the invisible weight so many of us carry: “cultural expectations.”

This isn’t about blame. It’s not about airing family secrets or criticizing traditions. It’s about awareness. It’s about healing.

We explore the impact of growing up in cultures rooted in love and protection, yet often burdened with control, guilt, and unrealistic ideals. Together, we unpack how these ingrained beliefs shaped our relationships, delayed our self-discovery, and challenged our careers, self-worth, and sense of identity.

You’ll hear us wrestle with the tension between honouring our roots and honouring ourselves.

This episode is a beacon for first-generation immigrants who’ve ever felt caught between two worlds, for those who feel guilt when choosing themselves, and for anyone trying to reconcile tradition with truth.

Tune in for a conversation that brings clarity, compassion, and hope. The healing journey may be long, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
