Bless This Rooster: First-Gen Superstitions That Raised Us
from Unapologetically First Gen · host Lesley Braga, Stacy Braga
This week, Lesley & Stacy are diving into the cultural quirks and beliefs that stuck with us long after childhood - aka, all the superstitions we inherited (and maybe still follow). From the iconic Portuguese rooster to the deep-rooted fear of catching a cold from… wet hair?? Yep, we’re unpacking it all.We talk:The legend behind the Galo de Barcelos 🐓Why wearing a jacket became a moral obligationThe war on wet hair and cold feetHouse shoes, slipper politics, and crumb-related traumaAnd the mysterious "needle test" that “predicts” how many kids you’ll haveSprinkled in, of course, are a few chaotic kid stories, cultural call-outs, and laughs about how these things still lowkey run our lives. Come for the folk tales, stay for the barefoot confessions.Share your cultural superstitions with us over on Patreon: http://patreon.com/UnapologeticallyFirstGenPodcast📲 Connect with us on Social Media: Instagram and Threads: @stacybragacopy and @StreamlineWithLesleyPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/UnapologeticallyFirstGenPodcastSubscribe & Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.Thank you for tuning in, and as always, we appreciate your support! ❤️
