What a beautiful thing. I'm glad you brought up worry because I think about how many parents are out there and older siblings in similar situations where they almost have too much insider information of what's happening in the environment.
Imagine sharing a meal with your family while diving into deep, sometimes tough conversations. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'Talk With Your Mouth Full'. This time, we meet a Brazilian family of three—a mom and her two daughters, aged 24 and 14—who have navigated life between Brazil and the United States. Their story offers a unique lens on how cultural background and family dynamics can shape attitudes toward substance use.
The family talks about their experiences moving between two countries, how cultural differences influenced their decisions, and the role of open communication in their lives. You’ll hear firsthand how these factors impact their views on substance use and the challenges they face. This episode is a heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the importance of understanding cultural influences and maintaining strong family ties.
Whether you're a parent, a sibling, or someone interested in the intersection of culture and addiction, this conversation offers valuable insights and encourages you to think about your own family dynamics.
