"Tell me when to stop," is not something that you hear at my dinner table but is what you hear all the time at Olive Garden. Growing up, it was hard to have the right amount of things you need to help nurture your growth. In this episode I sit alone talking about how even though I didn't get the things I wanted, I now can do that since I'm grown up. Additionally, I challenge you the audience to find out what great things came out of restrictions.

No I'm not actually cooking anything for you to judge. The name of this episode is a metaphor for the amount of judgement I've faced as a child. Being criticized in aspects of my life when I know that I'm not perfect but I'm expected to be. Now I end up being my worst critic because I adopted this self judgement and I am accompanied by my sister to talk this through.

Let's maximize our ROI... at a buffet. In this episode I am accompanied by my sister talking about the savings that we saw growing up that our parents have have shown us. Given today's day and age there is something I can learn from my parents. They have shown me that they have gone through so many lengths to save a quick buck and all for the sake of nurturing my sister and I.

Heated exchange are common between child and parent. For me that was no different. Being under the same house with parents can be difficult when you think you're ready for the outside world when in our parents' eyes, you're not. This episode is just me, myself, and I where I tell you a story about my experiences.

Literally am still learning how to cook more Vietnamese food, but figuratively I am trapped in my own thoughts. I want to express that even living on my own that the very thing that I was trying to break away from I'm still doing it to myself. The idea of second guessing where I'm at in life is now a question I ask myself instead of my parents. Sometimes it's hard to not think about these things but join be on a one-on-one session of me going through my thoughts.

No this isn't a show of the MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay. This is a new episode talking about the struggles of always being compared and having to fight to be the "better" child in the family. Who's the best chef is an analogy of our parent always finding some way to brag about us to other kids or even vic versa, where the parents are comparing their friend's son that's only 12 years old and is already in college... y'know that stuff. I'm accompanied by Choney talking through the struggles of facing these comparisons and how it shaped us today and how we go about coping.

Have you ever tried to reach for that jar of candies/cookies in your pantry even though your parents told you not to? I haven't but I've always seen that in movies but figuratively I have. To me I've always found it hard to listen to my parents and I wonder why I feel so obligated to have such independence from them. When they tell me that I can't do something but even though I feel like what I'm doing is the right thing for me. Now that I'm away from them I can do all the things that I want but somehow it feels weird to have all this freedom and do what I please. In this episode, it's just me, myself, and I just speaking out loud on how I still feel like I want to be dependent despite me being my own adult.

The chef knows what's best... or do they? Not in this case because the sous chefs (us) might know a little more than what our parents do, especially when we're a little older and are progressing into our adulthood. Kitchen's Best Practice is an analogy that our parents always know what's best and for us at their kids to follow what they say but times have changed and we as the younger generation knows what is really happening in this world. We are grateful that our parents have led us to the place we are today but it's time they have more confidence in us. In this episode I am once again accompanied by my amazing sister, and we talk about what happens in our life and we hope that we aren't the only ones that share this sentiment!
