The migrant rule is simple: stay.
Stay in the job. Stay grateful. Stay safe.
I had plans.
But I also grew up with a rule I didn’t choose: keep the job, stay loyal, be grateful, don’t rock the boat.
In this episode, I explore the tension between personal ambition and the migrant script many of us inherit. The unspoken expectations around stability, loyalty, and security – and the guilt that shows up when we want something different.
This isn’t about rejecting our parents’ sacrifices. It’s about understanding the rules that shaped them… and deciding which ones still serve us.
If you’ve ever felt ungrateful for wanting more, this episode is for you.
