All weddings have some family drama, and all families have their own generational tension. It’s no different for Mai Neng Moua and her mother, Yer Vu.

Yer Vu was once a different kind of bride in a different country. She has expectations for her daughter’s wedding. Mai Neng knows this … but she has her own expectations, too.

This episode is about two equally strong women and how growing up in two very different cultures can affect a relationship.

About Terrible, Thanks for Asking

Terrible, Thanks for Asking is more than just a podcast (but yeah, it’s a podcast).

It’s a show that makes space for how it really feels to go through the hard things in life, and a community of people who get it.
