We've all heard the joke. An Asian child goes home with a 80% and their mother whacks them across the face with a slipper. These scenarios are funny but they're also grounded in a generational tension between Asian immigrant parents-- and broadly, immigrant parents of all races-- and their children.
Join Pola (@russiancoffee) and Carole (@ofmillienial) as they discuss with Taresa (@taresahe) her experiences on growing up with her mother's high expectations and while navigating a new country and new language, and how ultimately getting her therapy-adverse parent to go to therapy (achieving the unthinkable!) finally helped their conflicted relationship turn a corner. Taresa also runs a social media account where she expounds on Asian mental health and struggles.
