Caribbean Parenting Styles and the Hidden Wounds They Leave

Nicky & Mernelle Season 1 Episode 5

Caribbean Parenting Styles and the Hidden Wounds They Leave 

In this powerful episode, we take a deep dive into Caribbean parenting, exploring the normalized use of authoritarian discipline, physical punishment, and emotional neglect. What are the unspoken wounds left behind by a culture of "tough love"? And how do these early experiences shape our sense of self, safety, and connection as adults? Join us as we unpack the generational patterns, cultural context, and personal impact of parenting practices that often go unquestioned—but leave lasting emotional scars.
