From moving out, to not wanting an arranged marriage, to choosing a partner your parents didn't pick, we're reading your stories and getting into why so many first-gen kids carry this weight. We talk about setting boundaries without cutting ties, what it looks like when your family's love comes with conditions, and how to stop feeling selfish for simply wanting to live your life. 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!
