What We Inherit

Is comparison  really  just a thief of joy? 💭 In this episode, I'm challenging the inherited narrative around comparison and exploring how it actually enriches our human experience. From teaching us gratitude by looking at where we’ve been, to acting as a bridge toward our desired future, comparison might just be the best tool we have for finding true clarity. Tune in as I dive into why you s...

In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the viral story times cluttering our feeds (from women maxing out credit cards to move overseas to people altering everything about themselves for a partner) and looking at what’s really driving these illogical choices. While we usually say these people are "desperate for love," love is often just a cover story for deeper cravings: the desperate ne...

In this week's episode, I'm exploring one of the many topics I speak about in my book, Family Inc.: Guilt, Compliance, and the Corporate Reality of the Latin Home, and that is the burden of the "child parent." Long before they were adults, many young girls were thrust into parenting their siblings, managing their households, and carrying emotional weights far beyond their years. Today, as women wi...

We’ve been taught that “communication is key,” but over-explaining your boundaries and asking clarifying questions hands people the exact blueprint to manipulate you. Discover why strategic silence beats over-communicating, and how accepting people at face value protects you from being played. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations,...

In this episode, we're exploring our relationship with money and how we don't realize how it's affecting our creativity…in both a positive and negative way. We're also looking at how we glorify lack and ultimately place ourselves in dangerous situations just to provoke ourselves into creative states. Tune in as we break down the real connection between financial status and the crea...

In this episode, we look at how your suffering becomes someone else's paycheck. Whether it is quick-fix coping mechanisms or self-help gurus who thrive on keeping you dependent, everything you buy to soothe yourself is a transaction. We break down the difference between effective help and transactions designed to fund someone else's lifestyle while keeping you stuck. -------- Almost every...

Child labor isn't just about dirty kids in 19th-century factories. When we view it through this narrow lens, we ignore how children are exploited today. This episode looks at child labor hidden in plain sight. We will explore unpaid domestic labor in the home and kids working as social media influencers. We will also look at how people use "helping the family" as an excuse for exploi...

What does a child owe their parents? It’s a question that implies we’re born with a debt. But when did we accumulate it and what exactly did we borrow? On this episode, I explore the crushing reality of millions of adults who are slowly crumbling under the financial and psychological weight of supporting their parents at the expense of their own well-being. I dive into the unspoken contracts we se...

Why do we instinctively believe that success doesn't count unless it is born from struggle? On this episode, I deconstruct society's obsessive glorification of struggle. From the cultural rejection of "nepo babies" to hustle culture, I unpack the unwritten rule that success without suffering is deemed illegitimate. I examine how this inherited worldview creates a psychological tr...

On this episode, I unpack one of the internet’s most persistent narratives: the idea that you need to “wake up.” From viral posts to online personalities, the message is familiar; most people are asleep, the system is rigged, and a select few have access to the truth. But where does this idea come from, and why is it so compelling? -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationsh...

On this episode, I delve into the societal pressures surrounding dating debates, focusing on the 50/50 model versus traditional provider roles. I emphasize that this discourse reflects a deeper issue: our culture's obsession with singularity of thought. The constant need for conformity leads to a rigid worldview, marginalizing those with differing preferences. -------- Almost every invisible s...

Welcome to the debut of What We Inherit , a podcast and newsletter exploring the systems (family, culture, labor, and religion) that dictate how we live, think, and belong. On this episode, I explore how unacknowledged traditions turn into hidden weights dictate how we show up in the world. This journey begins by dismantling the blueprint of the home. I share a sneak peek into Family Inc.: Guilt,...
