In this episode of the Level: Asian podcast, we’re back by popular demand for another Reddit Reacts! But once the mics turned on, things didn’t go quite to plan… (who’s cutting onions?)

We begin by reacting to stories from the “Not So Subtle Asian Parent Traits” Subreddit; from blurred boundaries, Asian love languages, financial expectations and more! However, what was meant to be a fun episode, quickly turned into group therapy, as a particular post hit a little too close to home.

This opened a vulnerable conversation, where the crew shared their experiences healing from family trauma, forgiving our parents’ mistakes and appreciating the challenges of the migrant journey.

Don’t forget your tissues, you’ll need them for this one!
