  • Redefining Success: A Candid Conversation Across Cultures
    Feb 28 2024

    In this heartwarming yet thought-provoking episode, hosts Carmen and Sense dive deep into the murky waters of success and familial support. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions as they share personal anecdotes, starting with a touching story of a Filipino couple's journey to their dream wedding, sparking a broader conversation about the role of family in setting the stage for success... or debt.

    Carmen opens the door to a vulnerable exploration of her upbringing, questioning the financial and emotional foundation laid by her family. Was it a setup for success, or was it a blueprint for debt? The absence of a father figure and the struggles faced by her mother lead to a broader discussion on the disparities in familial support and wealth creation, particularly within Black families in the United States. This episode doesn't just ask what success means; it tears down the conventional metrics, revealing the harsh reality that success is not a one-size-fits-all achievement.

    Sense, bringing her Caribbean perspective, injects a fresh and insightful angle into the conversation. She highlights the cultural shock of the American norm of independence at 18, questioning whether this tradition is more of a hindrance than a help. Her reflections offer a glimmer of hope and a call to action for families to rewrite the narrative of success for future generations.

    Together, Carmen and Sense navigate through the complexities of societal expectations, racial and cultural disparities, and the evolving definition of success. They ask poignant questions: What does success really mean to you? How did your family dynamics shape your path to success? And perhaps most importantly, could you count on your family financially, both as a child and as an adult?

    This episode is not just a conversation; it's an invitation to reflect, to challenge the status quo, and to envision a world where success is inclusive, attainable, and defined on one's own terms. So, tune in, keep an open mind, and join Carmen and Sense on this enlightening journey. Whether you're seeking validation, answers, or just a good old-fashioned chat between friends, this episode promises to deliver all that and more, wrapped up in the warmth and honesty of two voices that are eager to share and listen.
