#12 - The Emotional Toll of Asian Parents Not Saying “I’m Proud of You”
In this episode of Late Night Hotpot, Jeremy and Zoe open up about the quiet pain of never hearing “I’m proud of you” from our Asian parents. We explore how that silence shapes our self-worth, fuels our drive, and sometimes leaves us questioning if we’re enough. From chasing dreams they don’t understand—like becoming an entrepreneur and breaking away from the traditional path—to navigating guilt, pressure, and unspoken love, we’re diving into all the feels. It’s raw, relatable, and just a little spicy. Pull up a seat at the hotpot.
