About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of family dynamics and cultural expectations with psychotherapist Agatha Peters.
In the final episode of this year, we talk about the weight of family and how cultural expectations around loyalty, obedience, and sacrifice can quietly blur into hurt. I’m joined by Agatha Peters, a Nigerian-American psychotherapist, founder of Beautiful Sunshine Therapy, and author of Trapped in Their Script, who brings both professional insight and lived experience to this conversation. Together, we explore family dynamics without rushing to labels or extreme conclusions. We talk about control, unmet emotional needs, boundaries, distance, and the often overlooked middle ground between staying and leaving.
