Listen "An Ode to Immigrant Parents"
Episode Synopsis
In this week’s episode of Jumping into Jupiter, I reflect on the quiet sacrifices and deep love of immigrant parents — the ones who built lives from the ground up so their children could dream freely. What started as a simple moment of seeing a group of young girls pooling their money for a sweet treat turned into a wave of realization about my own childhood and the lessons I carry from growing up as a first-generation kid.Through stories, reflection, and love, I explore how we now move through adulthood not just for ourselves, but for them — to honor their sacrifices, heal what they couldn’t, and help their inner child finally rest. This episode is a love letter to where we come from, to the parents who made it possible, and to the understanding that growing up sometimes means seeing them — and ourselves — with gentler eyes.
