What kind of pressure has your family put on you about how your life should look? Do you live with cultural expectations? Whether your parents are immigrants, rich, or just come from a humble background, we all have expectations put on us from our parents. In this episode, we are talking about the iconic movie Coming to America. We are discussing cultural and family expectations that can affect us and how we live. We also discuss things that we have learned and come to believe about ourselves and how it can affect how we show up in the world and our relationships. Of course, we always have questions that need answers. As usual, mental health in the black community is different. Join Charmaine and Jasmine, two licensed therapists, in this discussion.

The enneagram is…. We decided that we wanted to learn more about the enneagram and of course find something within the culture to relate it to, so why not the characteristics of the cast of Girlfriends. We invited the amazing hosts from the podcast Enneagram for the Culture @EnneagramFortheCulture to join us in this conversation and explore what enneagrams are, how they do and don’t define us, and how the enneagram types show up in our behaviors and friendships.
