In this episode, we sit down with Clementina Jose, a licensed master social worker serving communities in New York and New Jersey, as she shares her insightful journey and deep commitment to supporting youth in underserved areas. 

Our conversation touches on the complex parental expectations prevalent in immigrant households and offers transformative advice for teens navigating these pressures: focus on what you can control and “do your best and leave the rest,” as her father wisely advised. 

Clementina also offers valuable insights for parents striving to better support their children’s emotional growth by reflecting on their parenting approaches and understanding their children’s unique identities and paths.
