CW: Mention of suicide
On this Mother's Day episode, Amy and Leslie speak in a real and honest way about their relationships with their toxic Asian mothers and their journey in navigating through them within their cultural confines. While Asian women tropes have been prevalent throughout media, they break down the history of toxic Asian women tropes and how they are "accepted" through the cultural idea of "han" (恨). Given the cultural expectation of indebtedness to one's parents, Amy and Leslie speak to the unrealistic sacrifices they have made and the guilt that they each experienced through their intergenerational trauma, and how they each fought against this toxicity. Through these reflections, one can better understand how to choose peace for oneself.
