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!!!

How old is too old and how young is too young for getting your MBA? This is one of the most common questions we’ve received from listeners and we tackle it head on in episode 2 of the Tiger Sisters video podcast series. We also start off with some candid highlights and lowlights from our week including a free peer therapy session for Jean’s fight against her engrained workaholic tendencies and Cherie’s feelings of "profound loneliness" post-non-stop socializing at business school. We hope you find this episode enjoyable and helpful! Hi everyone, it's Cherie and Jean. We're giving an inside look into our experiences at GSB (Stanford) and HBS (Harvard) MBA programs, and beyond. Think of us as the internet’s career big sisters! Let us know in the comments what other questions you have about career, school, or life.
