Have you ever felt like you’re carrying an invisible job title in your family… with no training, no paycheck, and somehow you’re still expected to be “grateful” for it?

In this episode, Allison is interviewed by Jay Razzouk (corporate attorney + co-founder of ProSCALE Legal) and we talk about the real weight a lot of adults with immigrant parents carry: being the interpreter, the fixer, the supporter, the responsible one… while trying to build your own life too.

We get into what happens when you don’t name these roles (burnout, resentment, emotional exhaustion), and why learning boundaries + communication isn’t about becoming “selfish”… it’s about creating relationships you can actually stay in without abandoning yourself.

Allison also shares personal experiences and offers strategies for setting boundaries and effective communication to maintain healthy familial relationships.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between two cultures, two sets of expectations, and two truths at the same time, take a listen to this episode.
