as a child of immigrants I feel this so hard. The expectations are enormous. Thanks for writing and sharing an actionable solution about mental framework to work through it.
I love that quote from Adam Grant and I've posted it on my social media at least once, maybe twice recently.
I'm an academic who had a mom who stayed home. My dad is a church worker and therefore money was always a struggle. I'm constantly in search of financial stability (which should be "easy" with my husband and I making decent pay but life happens) and trying to be everything my family need to be. This whole piece really hits home.

Wow this is so good and definitely lots to ponder. That Adam Grant quote is fantastic, too 🤯
