Kayla is joined by journalist, finance expert, and author Carmen Rita Wong to talk about her extremely personal memoir in which she unpacks the complicated relationship with her parents and own identity. It wasn’t until after her mother’s death that Carmen learned the truth of her biological father and to the extent in which her parents went to feed the lie. She reflects on how her mother’s mistakes impact her own intentional parenting and how to understand parents as the individual humans they are without forcing forgiveness.&nbsp;&nbsp; Follow Carmen<ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carmenritawong/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/carmenritawong</a></li><li>Check out “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?” <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677394/why-didnt-you-tell-me-by-carmen-rita-wong/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677394/why-didnt-you-tell-me-by-carmen-rita-wong/</a></li></ul> Follow Us:<ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/</a>&nbsp;</li></ul> <hr> Hosted on Acast.
