05/22/2025

Two 20-something Asian kids get real about Mother’s Day, ambition, and the unspoken love of immigrant parents.

In this episode, we dive into how we celebrate Mother’s Day when "I love you" isn’t always said out loud. We talk about growing up with Chinese parents, redefining what ambition means outside of traditional success, and navigating the emotional gaps between generations.
