El Valor del Trabajo | Work and Worth

In this episode, we talk about how work shaped our families — especially as immigrants and first-generation children. For our parents, work wasn’t just a job; it was survival, dignity, and sacrifice. But sometimes, that came with a cost: exhaustion, absence, or the belief that worth is tied only to hard labor. Together, we’ll reflect on how Papi’s relationship with work shaped the family, how it shaped me as his daughter, and what it means to redefine worth for the next generation.
