Tam is in the “middle generation”. The balance between talking about mental health with her parents and learning how to teach her son to be in tune with his mental well-being. We discuss:

• her parents talking her out of using therapy
• people-pleasing tendencies as a survival tactic
• how to be there for other people but also set boundaries for your own emotions
• create space to process instead of suppressing your emotions 
• childhood bullying trauma 

Bonus: Kristy and Angie get their Oracle cards read for the first time

"I so much want to be the obedient good daughter to them, but I don't wanna do it at the expense of my own health.” - Tam Tran
