In the premiere of Season 2, we’re diving deep into our first-gen immigrant experiences, sharing the real, unfiltered stories behind how we were raised. We talk about guilt, sacrifice, and drive. We’re peeling back the layers to reveal how the first gen experience plays a bigger role than anyone might realize.This episode gets real. We open up about the toxic thought patterns we’ve had to unlearn, like the idea that hard work alone is enough. We also talk about the "chip on our shoulder" that comes from being raised in immigrant families, and how that’s both pushed us forward and weighed us down. If you’re ready for a REAL convo on family, culture, and what it takes to succeed, this one’s for you.🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Season 2 of Tiger Sisters is here!!!
