How do we move past the constant worry of needing to feel safe or secure to a space where we can feel empowered, trusting, and living up to our truest selves?

How awkward was the sex talk in middle school?

wow hey look at us on an episode roll! For this week's episode, PhD student Yesenia Zetino who studies immigrant mental health, helps us understand why we struggle to set boundaries with our parents as we get older, why it makes us feel so guilty to say no, and how making ourselves a priority will always be better in the long run.
