Cultural Norms that Impact our Symptomology (feat. Bora)
Bora is a 31 year old engineer and a mother of two who immigrated from Albania to the USA as a child. She shares about the impacts of a variety of cultural norms (like that of her home country, xenophobia in the US, her profession, academia, and childcare services) that have had a profound impact on her mental wellness.
Stay tuned for a second episode with Bora where we'll dive into parenting.
Just a note: Laurie had some audio issues on this episode but thankfully Bora's audio is great after the 2 minute mark. Sorry about that!
Bora refers to an episode with Connor in this podcast. This is reference to an episode of a podcast called Bold Beautiful Borderline and the episode can be found here.
