Bonus: Stop Telling Children of Immigrants to be Authentic
In this bonus episode, Sahaj Kaur Kohli breaks down “authenticity” and how harmful — albeit well-meaning — this term can be for children of immigrants and bicultural folks. Instead, she advises on a new way to think about authenticity and “being real” for those straddling and living between cultures. We also hear from one of you on how cultural code switching can feel divisive between the workplace and home due to gender norms.
This is an example of bonus content that will live exclusively in the Substack community Culturally Enough throughout this season.

So We’ve Been Told is a bold take on wellness, love, and family by sharing what it means to live between cultures. In a new eight-part series, award-winning therapist Sahaj Kaur Kohli breaks down the stories we’ve been told about bicultural identity, relationships and mental health. Featuring real talk, practical advice, expert wisdom and stories from her 250,000-strong community, Brown Girl Therapy, Sahaj helps you understand your past and unpack the present so you can thrive on your own terms.
The eight episodes will explore: living a double life between cultures, family secrets, intercultural relationships, narcissism in immigrant families, duty as a form of love – and control, estrangement, boundary setting with immigrant parents, immigrant guilt, and sex.
This show is for anyone who lives between cultures – or anyone who loves, works with, or knows someone who does (hint: you!).
