In this week's WUBU episode, we are joined by Jeff.

This episode is a journey of self-discovery, and embracing one's genuine identity.

We begin by exploring the often invisible yet heavy chains of expectations that bind many of us. These chains come in various forms – cultural norms, family roles, societal expectations, etc. and how these expectations can limit us from living and being who we truly are, and from genuine happiness.

Jeff had the courage to be himself, and that meant accepting to limit his involvement in his parent's lives. This bold decision to step away from the mould, to venture into the realm of personal truth and freedom is inspiring.
