About this episode
Today’s class is our monthly guest episode, and our substitute teacher is Monica Denais, a licensed professional counselor and host of the Café with Monica podcast who helps ambitious women — especially first-gen women and eldest daughters — navigate anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and the pressure to hold everything together!
In this episode, we’re diving into eldest daughter syndrome: what it is, how it shows up, and how to stop carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs.
We cover:
- The subtle signs you’ve been living with it
- Why boundaries feel so hard
- How to untangle your worth from responsibility
- How to lead without burning out
If you’ve always been the strong one, the fixer, or the responsible one… this one’s for you, bestie! 🫶
