The Daily Unscripted Life of Risse

Kids EN ↓ 44 episodes

I am an Asian American (Filipino) full-time working mama of 3 kiddos navigating through life while my own mom and MIL constantly give their two cents and.make.me.question.all.of.the.things! I am coming to you with my unscripted life and sharing everything and anything going on in my life. I am comparing and contrasting being raised by my first generation immigrant Filipino parents and now raising my own children. I’m trying to navigate the fact that I want my children to know their roots and where their parents and grandparents came from, but also weave in Western and Modern values.
