How to find your own path & heal parental relationships w/

[@user-tz9ic1zj7u]

I love the conversation of moving away from pitying ourselves and moving towards participating in teaching our parents in a fun playful way. After studying linguistics, I realized how much my immigrant parents did for me and that I grew up in a world where I had time to think about relationships in a way that they didn't. When I finally could see them with compassion, I became less reactive and instead of approaching them with accusations of what "they lacked", I approached them with praise for what they accomplished which created an environment where they felt safe to have conversations about what we could do together. I also loved the conversation of accepting love how it comes. Love languages are meant to help us understand the love others are giving instead of creating a gate of the only love we'll receive. I cried through the second half of this podcast.

I absolutely loved this episode! Great I got to know Leah a little bit better and I loved the part about having appreciation for our parents! This one hit me the most because I am at a point in my life where I start to realise how much my parents love me and have always loved me even though I wasnt aware and how much they gave me compared with what they had and received as children.

[@lizv2389]

This episode is by far the best. I loved how candid you guys were.. even talking about your emotions pre-recording. ily guys 🥹

[@ohkayee]

I've been meaning to watch this podcast and I am so glad I did. The narrative of learning to teach your parents how to love you really resonated with me. I love this group and I feel that this is making me feel validated about my disconnect with my parents and even my siblings. We can do this!!! Voice hugs

[@voicehugs]

🥹 such beautiful insights & takeaways! we got thissss 🩵 thank you for being here!! -Ro

[@alildiary7889]

Thank you so much for this episode. I think I've truly watched it at the right time. I loved everything you ladies mentioned about accepting our parents' experiences, honouring our own, and showing empathy to both sides. It means a lot for my own journey right now. Love y'all so much 💝*hug*

[@Kohiicha]

I feel super hugged in this episode 🤗 Thank you for this episode! I would surely rewatch this video whenever I feel anxious or lost in life. Also, this trio is such a perfect match, I could listen to you three talk about anything under the sun for hours. These types of podcasts really help me get through difficult times and I am so grateful that I could listen to you guys anytime. So much wisdom from Rowena, Vivian and Leah! Wishing you three all the best and sending warm hugs from afar!

[@charissaandriani5948]

This is officially my favorite video on KZbin ever 😭❤️ certainly did not expect to cry this hard 😭 thankyou so much Vivian, Rowena and Leah for being such an inspiration 💕

[@YuhanWu-s2d]

Your voice is so sweet 💕

[@emeraldjohnson6035]

Maybe I'm just not there yet in accepting my parents for who they are and the ways in which I was let down as a child, but I don't think they are "trying their best". Trying your best would mean they are doing everything they can do, which for me just doesn't ring true. I think they are just doing what they know. And it often feels like there is a canyon between what they know and who I am. I am working on accepting this first. Maybe in time my perspective will change, but for now it was low key upsetting to hear you all so willing to forgive your parents, and with such earnestness. I have tried and tried to meet my parents where they are, but I'm tired of being hurt. 💔

[@cwuhoo]

Thank you for expressing this side of the story. I go back and forth. There’ve been times where I understand and sympathize with my parents, and then there are still times where I feel it’s still not okay. It is what it is. It’s slightly comforting to realize that I’m not the only one going through these things.

[@kellibarnes2371]

Agreed. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Protect yourself however you feel the need to do. It took me awhile too and whatever the journey, it is ok! Not that I agree with everything my parents did... I have come to acknowledge they were products of their society and culture growing up, as the individuals they are... it's how they chose to live and be in the world based on the circumstances. They did their best as human beings living their life, in their bodies for the 1st time on this Earth. Learning more about their childhood and upbringing has helped me alot.

[@InternetStranger902]

Both can be true! They are doing what they know - which is sometimes the best they can do. I definitely don't like or forgive my parents when they try to excuse behaviour that I've expressed has hurt me. But I also can't expect them to change either if this is the energy they are approaching me with. Basically, it's up to you to heal yourself from what happened and let go of your expectations of them.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

Aaahhhh I love Leah!!! And now I get to cybermeet you two lovely ladies and you guys are astounding. You held such space for Leah to share her story organically.

[@KnowledgeIsPower_24-o8b]

I like really needed this. Thank you so much for your enchanting vibes + wisdom ✨💕

[@nichepeach]

I'm loving this episode so much aaaaahhh

[@Kristin9418]

I've been listening from Korea, and I was eagerly waiting for a new episode😭😭🩷 I'm so happy to finally have a new one! 😭❤

[@Annettely]

Omggg Leah!!! Love this podcast. Thank you all three for creating these

[@neurofuzzyricecooker]

love all the characters on this podcast and the direction it's going but also, maybe i'm just not the target audience but I greatly greatly would prefer a less formalized version of interview. I feel like the whole bloomberg fortune 500 character introduction is not necessary nor is the prepared list question bullets. I'd love to just hear u guys talk about how you guys met what you guys were doing before coming to the room or something like leah's sleepover series where u guys can walk around and interact w things even if it's not filmed. regardless so grateful this podcast was done thank you guys so much for sharing

[@DevilDears]

What a great episode! I loved the parents talk! All three of you individually had such great insights. ❤ I think it’s fair to say that there are some parents who really just don’t love their kids and in that case it’s ok not to try to fix things with them and only work on yourself (Viv mentioned that a little bit) but many relationships can still be improved like you suggested by reframing and relearning. Feminism/activism is doing so much in this convo, btw. I think that’s a small part of where Lea’s wisdom comes from because to break down old structures, we need to learn what those toxic influences are first. I’ll probably use some of your tips and read that bell hooks book, too! Peak voice hugs!

[@marygraceortega3621]

This kind of conversation with my friends is one of my wish🥺

[@Moustache2312]

i am just in a transition period of my life, figuring out whether to stay with my partner of 2 years, whether to move back home for a short time and many other decisions ahead of me. i have watched leah's videos for few years now and i am really grateful for stumbling upon this podcast episode, especially on this day, you girls gave me company in my difficult times, whilst i was alone in my apartment, whilst i ate my dinner, stretched and then chilled whilst watching the vid. i send a voice message to my mom 'cause leah talking about not appreciating her parents' love made me cry and i know that i don't return enough back as i tend to forget myself in the world of sharing my day-to-day struggles, it also made me more confident in building a better relationship with her through asking and communicating, which i suppose one forgets is possible with parents. thank you girls for this incredibly soothing and educative episode, i will definitely go and listen to more, hope that you are taking care of yourself well :)

[@Californiansurfer]

Beautiful. I grew up in Downey Cali 1974. Growing up Mexicano Americans we respect our parents which i lost my Dad three years ago. It’s differnt now. White culture looks down on supporting your parents. My father lived till 83. I worked in 2012 to 2023. I worked in Kentucky , indiana , michagan and texas. I am back home. Home is not. Same WTH out my. DAD.❤❤❤

[@sbenkimmie9579]

this conversation feels so heavy personally...im a little overwhelmed actually.

[@voicehugs]

sending you the biggest virtual hug 🧸🫶 if this convo/these topics aren't sitting well with you at the moment, no need to force it ~ we'll always be here if/when you're feeling up for it! -Ro

[@vanillalatte5227]

Where's the issue? Where's the issue? I shed a tear when Leah started talking about her dad and having immigrant parents. I totally can relate to what she said. WHERE'S THE TISSUE?

[@allanpeter7700]

Interested in more about couch surfing, seems a little dangerous, but Im guess europe in safer

[@user-nc7jj7vx2z]

🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@ny1114]

i dont like how she mostly only looks at one person when talking.. the other host could feel left out

[@voicehugs]

Hi! Viv here ◡̈ Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We’ll definitely take your feedback into account to help improve the visuals in future videos. Fwiw, I definitely didn’t feel left, so don’t worry! Nerves were super high for this interview since it was all of our first times trying something new. We feel so grateful that Leah shared her presence and mind with us during this convo and hope that regardless of the visuals, her beautiful story was still able to shine through ♡

[@Majorkmir]

Yes it’s annoying and it gives Mean girls vibe( usually people are aware of it and don’t do it at least in front of the camera

[@winniemerino]

she is not a mean girl :,)

[@yellowofficial1198]

Exactly!!! So uncomfortable to watch at some point coz girl someone should tell her how to be considerate with her environment. No hate tho.

[@nichepeach]

honestly, it just looks like since they are talking about really personal and maybe difficult topics, leah mostly looks at rowena because she probably feels safer looking at someone she trusts while opening up about such things, rather than looking at someone you just met. also, focusing is easier when you don't think about looking at everyone in the room. I try to look at everyone when I'm in a group and I keep getting distracted because I'm just thinking about looking at everyone haha
