In this eighth session, we introduce a new topic and build on a slightly different conversation than what has been spoken about in this podcast. In this new series, "Traditions" we sit down and point out the different routines and habits that have been passed down through generations. We realize that just because something is a "tradition" doesn't mean it should still be done or held onto. Traditions can act like generational curses and can hold anyone back from breaking free from chains and accepting the truth that will set them free, and set them free indeed.

In this first part, we tackle traditions that are mainly found and practiced in the culture. The culture mostly touched on is Dominican culture straight from the island but also mixed with Dominican culture that has been slightly changed by living in the United States. Buying your own cleaning products when arriving at a vacation house to clean the house yourself because you don't trust the cleaning service that is professionally hired to clean the house in the first place. Vicks Vaporub, longaniza, pica pollo, natural herbal home remedies and more.

It is so interesting to see how certain traditions are carried on and how certain traditions are left behind and forgotten. There are many that keep you firm in what you believe in and make you stay true to your roots, but there are many that can keep you from progressing forward.

What traditions should we hold on to, and what traditions should we let go?

Real questions with real answers for real people.
