Moving away from home is often seen as a rite of passage — chasing dreams, gaining independence, and finding your place in the world. But for many Desi kids, it also comes with a heavy side of guilt. In this episode, we talk about the emotional weight of leaving our families behind — the pressure to stay close, the fear of disappointing loved ones, and the silent struggle of homesickness even in moments of success. From FaceTiming through milestones to redefining what "being a good daughter" looks like, we share our stories and open up about what it really means to grow while grieving distance.
