In this powerful episode, we explore how the pressure to appear "good," "proper," and "respectable" can silence our truth and erode our mental health. Respectability politics—especially in marginalized communities—often teaches us to suppress emotions, avoid conflict, and present perfection to gain acceptance or safety. But at what cost? We unpack the hidden toll this takes on self-worth, emotional expression, and healing. Join us as we discuss how breaking the silence and challenging these social expectations is a vital step toward authentic mental wellness and liberation.Thank you for tuning in to Unpacking Me!
