What does a child owe their parents? It’s a question that implies we’re born with a debt, but when did we accumulate it, and what exactly did we borrow? In this episode, I explore the crushing reality of millions of adults who are slowly crumbling under the financial, emotional, and psychological weight of supporting their parents at the expense of their own well-being. We dive into the unspoken contracts we seemingly sign at conception, and why society immediately shames anyone who dares to want autonomy over their own life.
Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.
