When Traditions Collide (Gratitude Series Part 1 of 3)

We're kicking off our 3-part gratitude series this November, and we're starting where it matters most: the dinner table.Thanksgiving hits different when you're first or second-gen. Your parents tried to blend in with turkey and stuffing, but the rice and beans still showed up. The pancit made an appearance. The traditions collided. And honestly? That's the beauty of it.In this episode, we're talking about what it means to celebrate holidays when your family comes from multiple cultures. How do you honor where you came from while building something new? What does gratitude look like when you're navigating immigrant guilt, family expectations, and a holiday that wasn't built for your story?Steve and Grace get real about their own Thanksgiving experiences; from Grace's mom never making turkey to Steve's family blending Puerto Rican dishes with "American" traditions. They talk about the pressure to perform, the beauty of making it your own, and why you don't owe anyone a seat at your table just because it's a holiday.This isn't about perfection. It's about presence. It's about choosing what traditions you carry forward and which ones you leave behind.If you're doing our 30-Day Gratitude Challenge with us, keep going.
