Love-ly

Under Lock & Key: Dating with Overprotective Parents


Listen Later

This week, our Love-ly host Mehak sits down with Genesis Sol, founder of the comedy variety show Witty Titties, to explore the impact of strict parenting, cultural identity, and growing up as a second-generation child of immigrants with a Venezuelan mother and Croatian father. Genesis shares hilarious and heartfelt stories of her mother’s overprotectiveness, how it shaped her social experiences, and the challenges and unexpected benefits of a conservative upbringing. They also dive into her experiences with her boyfriend’s daughters, her take on men’s social behaviors, and the deeper themes of immigrant family dynamics, gender biases, and the role of empathy in relationships.
