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.
