we're so back with a real hard hitting topic we know yall gonna relate to. as brown people, we're given by expectations by everyone!!! our parents, distant family, society, culture, sometimes it feels like we dont even have the space to explore ourselves because we're busy making others happy. this episode is all about craving acceptance, the appropriate balance of expectation, and how we detach ourselves from the needs and pressures of others, and more! we expect you to listen!!!
