Talking about mental health is hard enough — but when you're navigating cultural expectations, generational gaps, or immigrant family dynamics, it can feel almost impossible. This episode dives into the challenges of opening up with family members who may not have the same language, values, or experiences when it comes to emotional wellbeing.
We’ll explore practical ways to start those conversations with kindness and patience, while still advocating for your needs. Whether you’re trying to explain therapy to your parents, or just hoping to be heard without judgment, this one’s for you. Healing starts with connection — and it’s okay to take that first step, even if it’s a small one.
