Listen "Chapter 38: Confessions from the oldest daughter"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Antihero Unplugged, the episode reflects on what it really means to be the oldest daughter. It explores how first-borns often become the family’s emotional fixer, overthinker, and unofficial therapist, and how that responsibility can feel both exhausting and isolating. Through a story from a family dinner, it highlights the moment an oldest sibling realizes they give advice to others that they haven’t even given themselves, sparking a journey of setting boundaries, saying no, and practicing self-care. The episode also draws on examples from Fiona Gallagher, Lorelai Gilmore, and Elsa, showing how strength and burnout often look the same, and emphasizes that being the glue doesn’t mean losing yourself.Copyright © 2025 Cecilia Isabel Gonzalez.
