what if we just… quit perfectionism?
hello lovely!
I am so glad you are here. Welcome to a place for all of my Eldest Daughters: you know, the brave, resilient women who find themselves somehow running it all while trying to ease into adulthood and live a softer life. The ones who act as another parent to their siblings, break generational cycles, and are in pursuit of happiness and peace.
This blog is for you.
As an eldest daughter myself, I know all too well the constant battle between being a people pleaser and being confident in who you are. Come with me to find our voice and set our boundaries together!
that’s why I’m here
To Help You Find Peace, Coping Skills, and Joy
I’m the oldest of five children. My youngest sister was born when I was in high school. Needless to say, I saw what babies were like early in life…and I changed a lot of diapers. When you read the phrase “parentified child” in a textbook, my pictures is probably next to it.
Of course, it took time for me to come to terms with that responsibility, and LOTS of boundaries. I’m still learning! But this blog is here to provide all my eldest daughters out there with answers to the deep stuff like, “What is Eldest Daughter Syndrome?” to fun topics like podcasts, books, & creative pursuits!
Creative hobbies are my bread and butter. I’m always trying something new and loading up on supplies. The latest: textured painting (& blogging, of course!).
I’ve been married to my amazing husband since 2022. We were introduced by my friend (his sister!). He’s an Eldest Son.
I love to explore new places, even right down the street. I’m by no means a world traveler, but new experiences are the spice of life!
I’m an eldest daughter through and through. No matter what part of my life we are talking about, that defining characteristic shines through, and I’m proud of it.
