To wrap up September and Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Dr. Phebe puts on her therapist hat to talk about a topic that some of us have been avoiding. It might be us thinking it doesn’t affect us, or that we are too holy for it to impact us or people we love. Listen to learn about what signs to look out for and resources that are available in the community.

About Between Two Worlds with Dr. Phebe
From the publisher's feed
If you’ve ever had to explain therapy to your immigrant parent…
defend why you don’t want to be a doctor…
or survive an auntie asking “Where is your husband?” before saying…
hello…
Welcome. You’re among family.
Hosted by Dr. Phebe Brako — therapist, immigrant daughter, and professional translator of “what your parents meant when they said you’re acting too Western” — Between Two Worlds is the podcast where immigrant parents and their children come to laugh, reflect, and finally understand each other a little better.
Each week, we unpack the real conversations immigrant families have behind closed doors… and the ones they usually avoid entirely.
From church and career pressure to dating, therapy, identity, emotional expression, and generational expectations, this show explores the tension between:
- parents who sacrificed everything
- and children trying to build lives that honor that sacrifice without losing themselves
Dr. Phebe breaks down both sides of the generational divide, with humor, honesty, cultural nuance, and therapist-level insight, often joined by her very own immigrant mother for real-time perspective, wisdom, and the occasional loving accountability.
Because this isn’t about choosing sides.
It’s about building understanding.
So whether you’re the child in therapy, the parent trying your best, or the family mediator in the group chat…
Pull up a chair.
We’re bridging the gap, one awkward conversation at a time.
