In this episode, I share some deep reflections from my trip to the Philippines last month. This visit really spun my views on family legacies and identity. For the last six years, I've been helping 1st and 2nd gen folks navigate their generational conditioning. Our conversations often dive into our backgrounds and how these shape us today. We really get to the root of what's passed down to us. But this trip? It opened my eyes in new ways.
