We explore why achievement often equals acceptance in immigrant communities and how we can break free from these cycles to embrace joy, rest, and intentional living. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a full-on permission slip to savor the slow and redefine what success looks like for you. Get ready to feel seen, heard, and totally inspired. What you'll get out of this episode… Your worth isn’t your to-do list—your value is inherent, not earned! Rest isn’t lazy—it’s revolutionary, fueling your creativity and joy!
