Episode 14: ¿Salimos Bien? What It Means to Be ‘Okay’ in a Family That Survived So Much
Manage episode 500879523 series 3666284
In this episode of La Mesa con Papi, I sit down with both of my parents to talk about something that haunts a lot of first-gen kids:
Did we turn out okay?
And what does “okay” even mean when your parents raised you through survival, sacrifice, and silence?
We talk about expectations—spoken and unspoken. About what our parents hoped for us, and what we hoped they’d see in us. About the pressure to succeed, to behave, to be the “proof” that all their hard work was worth it. And about the quiet grief that comes with feeling like you can never fully repay the people who gave up everything for you.
It’s vulnerable, honest, and deeply needed.
