29 - Unlearning Cultural Norms

About this episode

This episode discusses the journey of unlearning cultural norms that no longer serve individuals, focusing on beliefs in Black and Brown households.

In this episode, we talk about the messy, liberating journey of unlearning cultural norms that no longer serve us. From gender roles  to ideas around success, marriage, and mental health. We discuss the deeply rooted beliefs passed down in Black and Brown households, and how we’re actively choosing to rewrite the narrative. We explore what it means to honor where we come from while still giving ourselves permission to grow in a different direction. Unlearning isn’t disrespect, it’s healing.
