If I'm hearing you, right, yes, or thinks they're different, because really your kids aren't different, it's, it sounds like it's just the environment that they're dropped in.
Ever wondered how cultural norms shape our lives? In this episode of the '3-21 NoKiddin' Gambling Addiction Recovery Podcast', Bobbie the Awesome chats with award-winning author Allison Hong Merill. Allison opens up about her experiences growing up in a Chinese culture where gender roles were strictly defined. She shares the struggles she faced simply because she was a girl, and how these experiences influenced her writing.
At 22, Allison moved to the US, where she continued to explore these themes in her memoir 'Ninety-Nine Fire Hoops'. This conversation isn't just about gender inequality; it's about resilience, personal growth, and finding one's voice in a world that often tries to silence it. The episode also touches on how family dynamics can perpetuate harmful behaviors like gambling addiction and the crucial role of self-care and mental health in recovery.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion that sheds light on the power of personal transformation.
