I was elbow deep in Dungeness crab, and I hadn’t planned to say it, but I did. I told my mom to seek the help of a therapist instead of venting to me. And thankfully, none of my worst fears came true.
In this episode, I share what led to that scary moment that stresses me out just thinking about it and what happened after. I reflect on the unspoken emotional labor in immigrant families, and how we get to shape our relationships with our parents as adult children.
If you’ve ever wanted to set a boundary with your parents but were worried it would break the relationship, this one’s for you ♥️
I’d love to hear your version of this story. Leave a comment or send me a DM on Instagram / LinkedIn.
