  • Struggling to Make Friends? The Eldest Daughter Experience


    In this episode , we explore how being an eldest or parentified daughter shapes the way we show up in friendships, from always being the “strong one” to struggling with vulnerability, boundaries, and asking for support.

    Many eldest daughters grow up prioritising others, managing emotions, and taking on responsibility early. But in adulthood, this can make it harder to build balanced, reciprocal friendships.

  • The Pressure of Being an Eldest Daughter | Founder Life, Burnout & Fear of Failure

    Why do so many eldest daughters become high achievers, and why does it often lead to burnout?

    In this episode, Kiran and Yasin explore the unique pressure placed on eldest daughters and parentified daughters to succeed, be responsible, and hold their families together.

    Many eldest daughters grow up being the reliable one, the helper, the role model, the emotional support system. Over time, this responsibility can lead to overwork, not only in our personal lives but in our professional lives as well.
