## Resource

This week on Half Past Chai, we’re breaking down the everyday family habits we grew up with and how they still show up in our lives today. From money and meals to emotions, boundaries, and expectations we’re comparing Indian family culture vs American family culture. If you’ve ever dated outside your culture, married someone with a totally different upbringing, or realized your “normal” wasn’t actually universal this episode is for you. Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛 New episodes every Monday at 7 am. Don’t forget to subscribe, and as always, we love you!
