Parental Doubt & The Accidental Butt
from Culturally Distressed Hosted by Loic Pichot and Miyoko Sakatani
This week, Loic discovers he may have accidentally grown a butt at CrossFit, and Miyoko has thoughts. But things get a little deeper from there. We dig into the inner saboteur: that voice that tells you the arts aren't for people like you, that you're not smart enough, not connected enough, not from the right place. Loic opens up about growing up in rural France where theater felt like another world, and Miyoko shares the moment her mother's offhand comment about nursing school became the fuel that pushed her through it. We also talk generational trauma, late bloomers, and why connecting back to joy might be the only real antidote to self-doubt.Plus: Loic's improv class is finally a place where being French is celebrated, not explained. And Miyoko's ukulele band reminded a room full of strangers that music makes us more alike than different. Culturally Distressed is a podcast about cultural identity, generational differences, and the confusion in between, hosted by French-American comedian Loic Pichot and second-generation Japanese American Miyoko Sakatani.
