14. The Weight of Being the “Good One”

So many eldest daughters grow up under an invisible set of rules- be responsible, don’t rock the boat, make everyone proud. This unspoken Good Daughter Contract might have kept you safe as a kid, but in adulthood it often turns into people-pleasing, overfunctioning, perfectionism, and a deep fear of disappointing others.

In this episode, we explore:

What the Good Daughter Contract is and how it forms in childhood
Why the “good daughter” role is really a nervous system survival strategy (not a personality flaw)
How it impacts your relationships, career, and self-worth
Practical steps to start rewriting the contract—so you can create safety, self-trust, and authenticity without guilt

If you’ve ever felt like being the “good one” was your job, this conversation will help you see where that script came from and how to write a new one that feels like freedom.
