If you were the responsible one, the fixer, the emotional glue—this episode is for you.
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by coach and guide Jasmine Braxton to explore the complex reality of being the eldest daughter. From carrying unspoken family expectations to feeling like you have to be the strong one all the time, we talk about how this role shapes your identity, relationships, and self-worth—and how to begin the healing process.
Jasmine breaks down the “eldest daughter wound,” how it plays out in adulthood, and why awareness alone isn’t enough—you need real tools to create emotional safety and boundaries.
In this episode, we explore:
✅ What the eldest daughter wound is and how it shows up in your life
✅ The link between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and childhood roles
✅ Why it’s so hard to rest when you're used to being “the strong one”
✅ How to set boundaries without guilt
✅ Tools to reclaim your identity outside of who you take care of
If you've ever felt like you're responsible for everyone else’s emotions, this episode will feel like both validation and a permission slip to choose you.

It is for the woman who looks like she has it together, but inside she knows she is meant for so much more. The woman who is done being the person everyone leans on while her own dreams stay on the back burner.
This is for you if you are tired of talking yourself out of what you really want, tired of waiting for the right time, tired of living a life that looks good on the outside but feels misaligned inside.
