This Podcast explores the lived experience of growing up between cultures as a second-generation Asian in New Zealand. It reveals the tension of navigating different cultural expectations—balancing expression and restraint, belonging and difference—while trying to make sense of identity.

Alongside these challenges, it touches on mental health struggles that are often unspoken or misunderstood, both within families and communities. Seeking support becomes a personal journey, not only of understanding emotions but also of bridging the generational gap through communication and education.

At its core, it reflects the process of accepting complexity—learning that identity need not fit into a single category but can exist across multiple worlds, shaped by both culture and personal experience.
