Why Eldest Daughters Struggle—and How to Stop People-Pleasing
Growing up as the eldest daughter often means carrying invisible burdens you didn’t ask for. In this episode, we uncover the roots of Eldest Daughter Syndrome—the perfectionism, people-pleasing, and caregiving that starts in childhood and quietly sidelines your dreams. We explore how family dynamics and inherited trauma shape your mental and physical health, from anxiety to ADHD-like symptoms, and why addressing these patterns is essential for true freedom. Join me as we redefine independence, embrace feminine energy, and reclaim the boundaries, power, and success you deserve.
