Episode 234: Self-Sovereignty and Breaking Free from Generational Healing
Welcome to this new episode of Bucci Radio!
If no one influenced how you lived your life, how would you live it? In American culture, individualism is prioritized over collectivism. Individualism is the focus on the self over the tribe, and collectivism focuses on the tribe over the group.
This can be a difficult transition for immigrants today whose culture prioritizes the collective, leaving many struggling to find themselves and navigate their conflicting cultural differences.
Today’s guest is my friend Nicole Nowparvar. Nicole is a licensed psychotherapist and life coach who helps her clients build confidence, master life transitions, and connect to their true selves. She’s also the co-founder of Chaya–an organization that helps empower the Jewish Iranian community in Los Angeles.
Nicole shares her story about how she has broken out of her own cultural and generational norms, taking her healing journey into her own hands, and found a way to blend her culture, traditions, and authenticity. Not only that, but she forges her way in leadership within her community by educating and empowering others who struggle with similar challenges through her programs and practice.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
- Prioritizing collective welfare
- Collective vs. individualistic
- Subconscious patterns
- Immigrant challenges
- Navigating conflicting cultures
- Traditional and “modern” living
- Perceptions based on our upbringing
- Shame and decision making
- Tips on how to find yourself
- Leadership in a community
