Breaking Second Generation Cultural Expectations
If you've ever felt stuck between taking care of your family and building the life you want
If you've ever wondered whether you're being a "bad daughter" for choosing yourself
Or if you've struggled with guilt every time you try to do something different
This conversation is for you.
I joined Dana Malstaff, founder of BossMom, to talk about what it's really like growing up with immigrant parents as a second generation adult.
We talk about why so many adults with immigrant parents feel responsible for everyone else, and what actually helps you move toward the life and relationships you want.
We talk about the thoughts that quietly keep us stuck, why boundaries feel so uncomfortable, and how you can start making changes without feeling like you're abandoning the people you love.
If you're trying to build a career, start a business, become a better parent, or simply feel more at peace in your relationships, I think you'll see yourself in this conversation.
Stay until the end to get the 4 key things you can start doing today to comfortably start doing more of what you truly desire.

That's what BossMom is for. Dana is an author, speaker, podcaster, and the creator of Nurture to Convert marketing, and she's spent over a decade helping moms build businesses that actually fit the lives they're living.
