Many of my Asian friends and I have experienced parenting in the form of helicopter parenting or Asian guilt to motivate us. After decades of conditioning, this becomes ingrained as a part of our psyche. And to be honest, for me, I’m still navigating and figuring out whenever I make a decision if I am being true to my heart center or doing it out of Asian guilt. “I have to do this to be a good Asian son”. In this episode, we cover:
  • My story of how I defied being a doctor
  • Being compassionate with my family and their expectations
  • Finding a career that my family doesn’t understand
  • Filial piety and impact on us
  • Compensatory strategies of being gay
  • Is it wrong to defy parental expectations
  • Why not following our truth has health consequences
  • Tips on how to manage parental expectations
  • What are the top 5 regrets of dying patients
