    Remembering the Good Old Days... (But Not Really)

    In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of nostalgia and explore how our memories can often paint a rosier picture of the past. Join us as we discuss the bittersweet nature of nostalgia, the selective memory that often accompanies it, and how our longing for the "good old days" can sometimes blind us to the present. We'll explore the psychology behind nostalgia, discussing why we're drawn to the past and how it can provide comfort, escapism, and a sense of belonging. However, we'll also examine the potential downsides of nostalgia, such as its ability to hinder our ability to move forward and appreciate the present. Through personal anecdotes, expert insights, and audience interactions, we'll explore the bittersweet reality of remembering the good old days. Is it truly a comforting escape, or is it a trap that prevents us from embracing the present? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    10/ The Problem With the Hyphen (Identity)

    WHAT?! It's the end of Season 1 everyone! To wrap things up, we're diving into a complex topic we can all relate to: hyphenated identities. We'll be getting personal, sharing our own experiences and struggles with self-identification, both now and growing up. You'll hear about the two main viewpoints on hyphenated identities, along with the pressure to explain yourself in a way that feels truly representative. We'll also discuss the challenge of balancing all the threads of your identity. This topic is surprisingly complex, with debates raging across society, academia, and even grammar! But at the heart of it all lies a simple question: "How do YOU identify?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    9/ Why Am I So Risk Averse?

    Hey everyone! This episode gets personal as we delve into the topic of risk aversion in our own Brown communities, especially for immigrants and their children. We kick things off by being real with you. Launching this podcast? It was a rollercoaster of excitement and hesitation – Completely embodying this theme, right? We explore the idea that many of us, you know, "sharp people with a lot to offer," often gravitate towards practical paths with clear-cut success – doctor, lawyer, engineer. Safe choices, with a roadmap, especially for immigrants and first-generation folks finding their way in a new world. But what about the artist's path, the entrepreneur's leap? This episode doesn't shy away from the challenges Brown folks face when venturing outside those traditional lanes. Creative fields, for example, lack that clear definition of success, making them inherently riskier. It's no wonder there can be a natural pull towards playing it safe within our communities. We weave our own stories into the discussion, exploring how our identities as second-generation Brown women shape how we approach risk ourselves. The big question we tackle this episode: Is risk aversion holding us back, or is it a strategic approach in this new world for our families? Tune in to find out! Don't miss out on all things Gupshup!
