Have you ever felt like your entire identity was built around being the “good daughter”? Always responsible, agreeable, keeping the peace while inside you’re anxious, resentful, and completely drained?
In this episode, I dive deep into the hidden cost of the “good daughter” role and how it shapes your nervous system, self-worth, and adult relationships.
We’ll unpack:
How the good daughter/parentified child dynamic forms (especially in eldest daughters and first-generation households)
Why people-pleasing, hyper-vigilance, and repressed rage aren’t personality traits—they’re nervous system survival strategies
The connection between the fawn response, shame, and chronic anxiety, burnout, and even autoimmune symptoms
How confusing love with self-abandonment leaves you exhausted, resentful, and questioning your identity
What it looks like to break free: building safety in saying no, reclaiming your authentic self, and moving from obligation to devotion
If you’ve ever struggled with overgiving, people-pleasing, or carrying everyone else’s emotional weight, this episode will help you understand why and more importantly, how to step into a life where you feel safe being fully you.
