The First Gen Madrina
E-57 Defying Expectations as a First Gen with Sara
Dear First Gens,
In this episode, Sara introduces a brand new theme for the month, Defying the Norm or Defying Expectations as a First Gen.
Sara discusses the different ways that first gens may have to defy expectations or defy the norm. Growing up, we may have a list of expectations that have been placed on us. As we get older, we may choose to not subscribe to these expectations and some challenges may arise. This may look like breaking intergenerational cycles, disrupting toxic family dynamics, choosing to not go to school or delay a career, or even choosing to not have children. It can show up in different ways, but it is mostly attached to our families and/or culture. It is important to have this conversation because it may feel difficult and lonely to manage this. This is why having a Madrina in your corner is so important!
P.S. This is not an exhaustive list as there are many different ways that this theme can come up for a first gen. Tune in to learn more!
Tell us on Instagram how you are defying the norm/expectations!
