58 | Tough Love (Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma)

Let's talk about the tough love we receive by our "tiger" parents. As Khmer-Americans, we deal with intense pressures and expectations to do well academically and professionally to honor our family's sacrifices and make them proud. We were taught to put others before ourselves, follow the status quo, work hard to survive, overlook our problems/issues, and not be expressive. This type of parenting style has impacted us in good ways and bad ways. However, tough love can be quite harmful, and now we have the opportunity to break that cycle of intergenerational trauma. We'll share our learnings and how we would approach parenting if we decide to one day start a family. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/2khmericansisters/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/2khmericansisters/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/2khmericansisters/support</a>
