immigrant parents

Today’s episode is a follow-up/continuation of last weeks podcast on internalized capitalism and self-worth. I was inspired by several conversations (with you all) after last weeks episode, and I wanted to share some of those conversations and perspectives today. We talk about how parents can unknowingly exacerbate this voice of internalized capitalism and we explore how the work life balance of different countries could play a role in ones level of internalized capitalism.

I talk more about the pressure of monetizing hobbies and the unnecessary sense of urgency in our society- to not just add degrees, certificates, skills, clients, etc-  but to do it FAST.

Lately I’ve been feeling really grounded and content, and whats been helpful for me is not asking how much can I do? and how fast? But rather, what can I let go of? How much can I not do?

It’s really deep and important work to let go of some of these old structures and internalized beliefs about our value, after all, we can’t keep building the house if the foundation is shaky.

Articles referenced in the pod: 

This article ranks the "7 countries with the worst work life balance" - with the 2 criteria being time devoted to leisure/personal care and working hours.

An article titled Worldwide Work-Life Balance Index 2023 ranks the 10 best cities for work life balance with 10 factors including: average working hours, minimum legal annual leave, maternity leave policy, etc. (I read the country names and not the city names- oops! Apologies for any confusion there.)

Here's an article that shares why the U.S. may be the most overworked developed nation in the world - this includes lack of parental leave benefits, lack of paid vacation time and sick leave, and no maximum work week length. 

There are so many more interesting articles - this is topic I'll keep diving into!

What are your thoughts on internalized capitalism? How has it affected you?

 This is conversation I want to continue to engage in.

Asian parents don’t seem to give their kids the “sex talk” like typical parents in American movies. In fact, the entire topic of sex (and even dating) can be taboo, with the exception of very vague advice or discouragement.

So where does that leave us? Today we discuss the Asian-American version of a “sex talk” and explore how our parents’ relationship impacts our understanding of love.
