If you are the firstborn daughter, this one is for you!

You are the one who had to grow up fast, hold everything together, be the strong one, the responsible one, and also the one who doesn’t get to fall apart.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your anger is not who you are; it’s a signal. A signal that you are tired. That you need support. That you deserve rest too.

Today I share my own journey as a firstborn daughter; the burnout, the guilt, the pressure, the unspoken expectations, and what it means to begin healing without abandoning the people you love.Healing here doesn’t look like cutting everyone off.It looks like learning to love yourself, too.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why firstborn daughters often carry more than their hearts were ready for
• The hidden exhaustion behind “being the strong one”
• How anger can be a messenger, not a flaw
• Releasing guilt without losing love
• What it looks like to rest without feeling like you’re “failing”
• Returning to yourself; not who your family needed, but who you are
• And why choosing peace is not selfish, it’s sacred

Takeaways:

• Firstborn daughters are conditioned to be responsible, even when it costs them emotionally.
• Anger is often unspoken grief; for the childhood you didn’t fully get to have.
• Boundaries do not mean disrespect.
• They mean love with truth.
• Healing the anger beneath the surface is how we break generational patterns.
• You deserve rest, joy, softness and support; not only survival.
