Ep 23: Why Comparing Yourself to Your Parents Hurts
Stop Comparing Yourself to Your Parents while Still Honoring Them
Having immigrant parents, it can be hard to make sense of our experiences without feeling guilty about what our parents went through and comparing our experiences with theirs.
In this episode, I share some of the questions from the Honor Your Motherhood panel held by Asian Mental Health Project that we didn't get to answer live. These questions are so important.
Whether you're a parent or not, you can reflect on the stories you've inherited, the patterns you may still be carrying, and how to create more space for your own needs, feelings, and growth.
I talk about family history, self-care, and what it really means to honor your parents' experiences without losing yourself in the process.
Take a listen if you've ever wondered:- How do I have compassion for my parents without dismissing my own experience?
- Where is the line between honoring their sacrifices and carrying their pain?
- What can self-care actually look like in everyday life?
