Growing Up Between Worlds (Part 1)

About this episode

Dalia and Mary discuss the complexities of growing up between cultures and the emotional challenges that arise from their immigrant backgrounds.

What does it mean to grow up between worlds, and what do you do with the parts of childhood that were never quite explained to you? In this episode, Dalia and Mary get personal, tracing the quiet weight of navigating identity, culture, and the kind of emotional tenderness that doesn't always survive a family's survival mode. Both children of immigrants, both carrying stories they've held for a long time, sit with a question that hits differently the older you get: what was missing? The conversation goes somewhere raw and ends with an invitation for our audience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
