Welcome back to eat your Crest podcast.
I'm Crystal.
I'm Jisoo.
And I'm Monika.
So today we have another special guest.
She's actually a future lawyer, so hit me up when you're famous and rich.
She's one of my closest long time.
Friends, and I really like this fact.
She and I met once, but the one time we met, we spent, like, an hour talking about our MBTI and how similar we were to each other.
And then from then on, we had, like, an instant, long time connection.
It was like a permanent bond was formed.
I know.
Welcome, Monica.
Thanks for having me.
So we invited Monica on this week, and we wanted to talk a little bit about dating and expressing love, especially through a, like, cultural aspect.
We're all Asian Americans, and I feel like there are different ways that parents express their love to either each other or to their child.
And then in terms of, like, dating, relationships, sex, those kinds of topics, asian parents aren't the most, like, open about those topics, from what I've noticed.
So we each have our own kind of experiences with these, so we wanted to spend some time and discuss it.
I feel like, especially as a child, you spend so much time with your parents that whatever you see your parents do, you kind of take that in as fact or whatever the right way of doing something might be.
So I feel like, for me personally, my parents were always pretty affectionate, but not in, like, the traditional american family sense.
