E105. The Guilt Trip We Never Asked For 🥹
Description
In this episode, Jessie and Mary open up about filial piety and how it’s impacted their own lives. From childhood expectations to adult responsibilities, they share personal stories about the weight of “respect” that often feels more like a lifelong duty.
They explore how filial piety has evolved—shifting from unquestioned obedience in past generations to a more complicated mix of gratitude, guilt, and boundary-setting today. What does respect look like in modern Asian families? And how do you honour your parents without losing yourself?
If you’ve ever felt torn between living for your family and living for yourself, this conversation will hit close to home.
