Before you ever had a crush, a best friend, or your first paycheck, you had them. The Original Roommates. The ones who handed you your first emotional blueprint: your parents. Or, as my siblings and I like to call them, “The Parentals.”
In this episode, I’m unpacking the complicated, often unspoken layers of the first relationship that taught you how to be in the world. The relationship that shaped everything. I share what it was like growing up as an African immigrant kid in the U.S.—where “I love you” was rare and obedience wasn’t optional. Add to that mix a private school with a side of nuns and the holy side-eye. Yeah… If you’ve ever tiptoed around family expectations, wrestled with immigrant guilt, or tried to earn love through achievements, tune in. Oh, and, spoiler alert: the moment you stop living for approval is the moment you start living in alignment.
