Not many of us realise the impact that kind words can have on others, and that they are memorable and life-changing to us.   

We sit down with Leo from @leos_index to talk about the differences between expectations and positive affirmations, how we are shaped as adults by the words spoken to us as children, and how we can be the future we want to see, by speaking more kindly and encouragingly to ourselves and each other.  

Do you have words of affirmation that you say to yourself or your loved ones? 

What are they and how have they helped make a positive change?

Us third culture kids have the task of balancing western ideals on body image with our cultural upbringing, have you ever been called fat by your parents or aunties, just to have your plate loaded up by them in the same breath???

We discuss how the way we were raised has had an affect on how we view our bodies, the insecurities we struggle with, and how we’re building our confidence to pass it on in the future.

Does your mum bring you a full plate as an expression of love/apology for calling you a fat ting? Comment below 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Episode 2.12: Is it Culture or Religion? Ft Meriam | Growing Up Britishh Podcast 

@officialmeriam of @c.conversationpodcast joins the Growing Up Britishh team to discuss how culture and faith were used when we were growing up. 

For most third culture kids, our parents raised us with a blend of cultural customs and religious expectations, sometimes blurring the line between the two and creating a whole new set of rules for us to follow! 

Can you relate? What’s more important to you now - culture or faith? We wanna hear from you! Comment below 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Society tends to view women who have children with a number of different partners much more harshly than men who have several children to several women - do you think that’s true??
