Capítulo 239: Eldest Daughter Syndrome: Unpacking the Pressures
Update: 2025-07-09
Description
In this episode, Diosa and Mala unpack “Eldest Daughter Syndrome,” recently explored by FIERCE by mitú, diving into the pressure to always be responsible, the emotional toll of raising siblings, and the unspoken role of being the bonus parent. They explore how these early expectations create anxiety, lead to rebellion, and force many eldest daughters to set boundaries later in life. From parentification to possible links with autoimmune illness, they ask: Is the weight of being the eldest daughter making us sick?
