Why do we do the things we do? In this episode, we unpack the customs we grew up with: the ones that felt magical, the ones that felt heavy, and the ones we’re not sure we’ll carry forward. From childhood rituals and family expectations to weddings, surnames, and generational rules, we explore what it means to live between honoring your roots and creating your own path.

Traditions shape us. But we get to decide which ones shape our future.

Which tradition are you keeping and which one stops with you?
