For the next few episodes, we're checking in with some of our early guests. When we spoke last year, Merk Nguyen, podcast co-host and producer of Adultish,  was struggling to be more than a dutiful daughter to her Vietnamese parents. Recently, she's had a realization about her identity, that led to a very important conversation with them.
