   You're so desperate to be loved. We can tell.

   In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the viral story times cluttering our feeds (from women maxing out credit cards to move overseas to people altering everything about themselves for a partner) and looking at what’s really driving these illogical choices. While we usually say these people are "desperate for love," love is often just a cover story for deeper cravings: the desperate need to belong and the desire for public validation and attention. By examining both the honeymoon bubble of the person oversharing online and the preconditioned lens of the public judging them, I explore how forcing yourself into a desirable social category backfires, leaving you inside the box you fought so hard to reach, but strictly as an outsider looking in. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   The new mothers: no kid edition

   In this week's episode, I'm exploring one of the many topics I speak about in my book, Family Inc.: Guilt, Compliance, and the Corporate Reality of the Latin Home, and that is the burden of the "child parent." Long before they were adults, many young girls were thrust into parenting their siblings, managing their households, and carrying emotional weights far beyond their years. Today, as women with adult freedom and financial independence, many are making a conscious choice to opt out of motherhood entirely. This isn't a rejection of children; it’s a profound exhaustion born from having been a mother before having the chance to be a child. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   Silence! It's for your own safety

   We’ve been taught that “communication is key,” but over-explaining your boundaries and asking clarifying questions hands people the exact blueprint to manipulate you. Discover why strategic silence beats over-communicating, and how accepting people at face value protects you from being played. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   You're not just broke, you're creatively broke too

   In this episode, we're exploring our relationship with money and how we don't realize how it's affecting our creativity…in both a positive and negative way. We're also looking at how we glorify lack and ultimately place ourselves in dangerous situations just to provoke ourselves into creative states.

   Your suffering is someone else's paycheck

   In this episode, we look at how your suffering becomes someone else's paycheck. Whether it is quick-fix coping mechanisms or self-help gurus who thrive on keeping you dependent, everything you buy to soothe yourself is a transaction. We break down the difference between effective help and transactions designed to fund someone else's lifestyle while keeping you stuck. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   Child labor is very much alive, and it's entertaining your afternoons

   Child labor isn't just about dirty kids in 19th-century factories. When we view it through this narrow lens, we ignore how children are exploited today. This episode looks at child labor hidden in plain sight. We will explore unpaid domestic labor in the home and kids working as social media influencers. We will also look at how people use "helping the family" as an excuse for exploitation and how our culture prepares kids to become obedient workers. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   What does a child owe their parents?

   What does a child owe their parents? It’s a question that implies we’re born with a debt. But when did we accumulate it and what exactly did we borrow? On this episode, I explore the crushing reality of millions of adults who are slowly crumbling under the financial and psychological weight of supporting their parents at the expense of their own well-being. I dive into the unspoken contracts we seemingly signed at conception and why society immediately shames anyone who dares to want autonomy. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   Heavy is the crown (because society is sitting on it)

   Why do we instinctively believe that success doesn't count unless it is born from struggle? On this episode, I deconstruct society's obsessive glorification of struggle. From the cultural rejection of "nepo babies" to hustle culture, I unpack the unwritten rule that success without suffering is deemed illegitimate. I examine how this inherited worldview creates a psychological trap, forcing us to validate our worthiness through sleepless nights and burnout while judging everyone else. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

   You aren’t living in a matrix, you’re living in a sales funnel

   On this episode, I unpack one of the internet’s most persistent narratives: the idea that you need to “wake up.” From viral posts to online personalities, the message is familiar; most people are asleep, the system is rigged, and a select few have access to the truth. But where does this idea come from, and why is it so compelling? -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

    Society is trying to erase you (and using dating discourse to do it)

    On this episode, I delve into the societal pressures surrounding dating debates, focusing on the 50/50 model versus traditional provider roles. I emphasize that this discourse reflects a deeper issue: our culture's obsession with singularity of thought. The constant need for conformity leads to a rigid worldview, marginalizing those with differing preferences. -------- Almost every invisible script we live out (our relationship with success, struggle, obligations, and how these things pressure us to erase ourselves) was originally learned within the first institution we ever belonged to: the family.

    Welcome to What We Inherit & the release of 'Family Inc.'

    Welcome to the debut of What We Inherit, a podcast and newsletter exploring the systems (family, culture, labor, and religion) that dictate how we live, think, and belong. On this episode, I explore how unacknowledged traditions turn into hidden weights dictate how we show up in the world. This journey begins by dismantling the blueprint of the home. I share a sneak peek into Family Inc.: Guilt, Compliance, and the Corporate Reality of the Latin Home. The book strips away the sentimentality of the traditional household, exposing how parental guilt and resource weaponization distort the parent-child contract, confusing obligation with love.
