Email me at annehelenpetersen @ gmail OR submit a request to Patreon Support. Thank you for making the switch with us — the podcast in particular is much more at home here!I love books with complicated lore. I love plots that interrogate the way power accumulates and spoils — particularly but not exclusively on Ivy League campuses. I love it when a character learns of UNKNOWN POWERS, and I love a good heist. Which means I fell in love with Leigh Bardugo's books immediately. My favorite is Ninth House (and its sequel, Hell Bent) but she is equally well-known for the Shadow and Bone series and the duology Six of Crows, which was just re-released for its tenth anniversary... all of which pop up all over the Culture Study reading rec threads whenever we have them. So imagine my surprise when Leigh's team heard that Culture Study loved Leigh's work and would we like to have Leigh come on the show? YES, OF COURSE. And listen, I knew this conversation was gonna be great. But I didn't realize it was gonna be this great. We talk about genre, marketing, all the nerdy books she read as a teen, how to think about YA and exposure to the things that scare us, and, of course, whether there's gonna be a follow-up to Hell Bent. As always, we've worked hard to make this conversation interesting to people who aren't familiar with Leigh's work — all you have to be is interested in books, just generally — but if you're a fan, you're really gonna love it. Side Note: We're experimenting with producing our own (very imperfect) transcripts. You can find it here. If there's enough demand, we might consider putting in the not insignificant labor to make these super readable — but for now, they're a backup to the podcast, not a replacement for it.

We've reached the Track 5 on The Life of a Showgirl, "Eldest Daughter." Track 5s are known as Taylor's most vulnerable album tracks, and so Exquisite and Hannah spend time carefully uncovering the overwriting and cringe allegations.

Abundance Community member Veltimar shares how she's built her therapy niche around supporting over-giving women—especially eldest daughters—who struggle with stress and anxiety caused by blurred boundaries and family expectations. The conversation dives into common client patterns and behaviors, such as taking on too much responsibility or reaching a breaking point under pressure. We also discuss the process of shifting from an insurance-based practice to a private-pay model, covering financial planning, marketing strategies, and practical ways to build a stable client base while sustaining momentum in private practice.

I've never resisted Love is Blind so much as run out of time for it... but then Audie Cornish said she wanted to come on the show to talk about it, and I said: I will watch any reality show, in its entirety, to talk to you about it. (Cornish was previously best known as the co-host of NPR's All Things Considered; now she is best known as the host of CNN's early morning newscast and The Assignment with Audie Cornish). I did my homework and thought I had smart things to say about Love is Blind and then Audie had way, way smarter things to say, specifically about the ways in which this current season functions as a skeleton key for the ideologies battling for dominance in our cultural moment. Even if you've never watched an episode of Love is Blind, there's a LOT here about how people perform their identities and politics and relationship needs that will snag you — and if you have watched this season (or any season), you're gonna love it even more. What a privilege to have Audie Cornish on-air cackling over reality television, and what a delight!

People are fascinated by hoarding culture — in part because it presents a reality that's not that distant from our current accumulation habits. Like, turn one screw in my brain slightly more to the left, and my dahlia collecting habit becomes something that's widely understood as a social problem. When I heard about Amanda Uhle's Destroy This House, a memoir of growing up in a hoarding household, I knew listeners would want to explore that fine line between "proper" consumption and hoarding, the stories we tell about why people hoard, and the real difficulty in navigating hoarding behaviors by people you love.

Soo Jin and Linda sit down with therapists, Esther Lee and Helen Garcia to explore the unique experiences of eldest daughters, particularly in the context of immigrant families.

The conversation also highlights the importance of patience in relationships and the value of group support for eldest daughters navigating these dynamics.
If you've listened to Taylor Swift's newest album, you may have heard her song Eldest Daughter. If not, the gist is this: she sings about the pressure to seem strong, cool, and not let people down. As eldest daughters, this resonated with Brierley and me. So we dove in: what is eldest daughter syndrome? How does it develop during childhood and how does it shape your adulthood?

A deeply personal exploration of eldest daughter syndrome—the invisible load that comes with being the responsible one, the second mom, the example. If you're an eldest daughter who learned that being helpful mattered more than being carefree, this episode is for you. We explore how love and responsibility got tangled up early on, the connection to anxiety and depression, and the path toward healing while honoring both the gifts and the weight of this role.In this episode, you'll learn:Why eldest daughters are more likely to struggle with anxiety and high-functioning perfectionismThe research behind birth order, gender, and anxiety ratesThe "wolf pack metaphor" and why eldest daughters often walk in front, taking the hitsHow nervous system regulation creates space to hold both/and truths about your childhoodPractical steps for healing over-responsibility and self-abandonment patterns3 Takeaways:The Eldest Daughter to High-Functioning Anxiety Pipeline is Real: Research shows firstborns with siblings are 48% more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety.You Can Love Your Role AND Grieve the Cost: It's not either/or—you can have had good parents AND experienced unintentional hurt. You can cherish being the big sister AND be healing from the weight of it. When your nervous system settles, you gain the capacity to hold both truths without one invalidating the other.Healing Requires Reclaiming Play and Rest: Far too early, many eldest daughters stopped playing and started managing. Healing means experimenting with "good enough," letting things go undone, and proving to your nervous system that rest and play are survivable—not frivolous.Practical Steps for Healing:Name the pattern out loud: "I learned to be hyper-responsible and that my worth comes from what I do"Practice both/and thinking rather than either/orLearn to regulate your nervous system to access nuance and self-compassionExperiment with asking for help in low-stakes situations // Ask yourself: "What would 'good enough' look like today?"Play 1% more, rest 1% moreIf you have kids, model that responsibility doesn't mean carrying everything alone—Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

If you grew up being called “so responsible” or “self-sufficient” before you even hit kindergarten...this one's for you. In this episode, Lex dives into eldest daughter energy: where it comes from, how it shows up, and why it's not something to fix, but something to finally redefine. Expect honest reflections, a few laughs, and a collective sigh of relief from every eldest daughter who's just a little tired of running the world. Follow Lex on Instagram: @alexismcraewhite
Female listeners; if you're the oldest of multiple siblings, you probably know the drill. Being the big sister often means being thrust into a parental role from a young age and sometimes having to sacrifice your own personal growth as a result. And discussions of this phenomenon have been increasing in the last year or so. The term "eldest daughter syndrome" has emerged and started trending on Tiktok from 2023 onwards. At the time of recording, the #eldestdaughtersyndrome hashtag had accrued over 1000 posts and nearly 50M views. What exactly does eldest daughter syndrome entail then? Where does all this stem from? Why don't we hear about this with boys? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is a kakistocracy, in the world of work ?

The kids are at home, the holiday activities are seemingly endless and you probably need a break. So welcome back to the podcast that's not just any parenting podcast. On the show today: You're officially excused from ever attending your child's sport practice. Don't believe us? Just ask the professional soccer player Abby Wambach. Plus, are you an eldest daughter? Well, so is Taylor Swift and the birth order theory might explain a lot. And, magicians are having a moment. But this time it's not just for the kids. So get the girls over, put the kids to bed and enjoy some whimsy. And our recommendations:
The role of the eldest sibling is often rife with high expectations, great responsibility and sometimes a little trauma. Now imagine being the eldest DAUGHTER. It's a unique experience that may come with many wounds that we try to escape from, and heal on our own. It is only after experiencing that nothing heals you like Jesus, that you can forgive and finally step into your God ordained role as the leader in your family that He has created you to be. Don't let the enemy trick you out of your spot!
Type A women (and often eldest daughters) can do anything except slow down, relax or relinquish control, am I right? Today, Louise and attachment psychotherapist Stephanie Therapy dive into the world of the Type A, eldest daughter woman: always on, always busy, always in control and subconsciously allowing these traits to filter into all areas of her life - love, lust, dating, partnership but also how we eat, spend, work, over work, recover and rest, too. The pair start by unpacking childhood patterning, mirroring, and the idea of the ‘family thermostat' before moving into how these traits follow us into adolescent and adulthood. From there, we look at how they amplify further and at what point it becomes ‘too much' or they are no longer serving us. The pair talk about what it really means to receive leadership without needing to micromanage everything (and how to incorporate this into their dating and love lives too). The pair shift into somatics for busy brains, why traditional meditation doesn't always land for Type A women, and how subtle shifts - like micro-asks, polarity in relationships, nervous system cues, and language swaps-can create more space for support and receivership in your life. Remember: you're not broken. It's about keeping the systems that serve you and softening the ones that don't. Excited for you to enjoy this!

This week…Here's my speaking script from this live performance. Close to a transcript, but I changed a few lines on the fly… some even on purpose.Today I'm talking family, friends, love… not known as autistic “superpowers.” So let's start with a quick blow up of the whole fucking superpower thing.1.

ShamelessFamily is freaking complex. For me? More disappointment, failure to meet expectations. Not being the son… or brother… the family ordered.Live long enoughYa get a lot right,Get a lot wrong.Get to knowWell enoughYa can't be a saintLurking in shadow…Living life perfectlyShameless.Shameless.Oh let me beShameless…No sun setsOn a painless life,So no moon shinesOn a stainless wife.Oh let me be… comeShameless.Scaling Mount MarcyThat night as Elvis died,Got branded a MountebankAs my sister grew colder.Stalking Death ValleySame sister… now dead… to meSame stars… chill my shouldersNow living life perfectlyShameless…Shameless.Oh let me beShameless…No peak capsAn aimless life,And no grave ever filledBy a blameless knife.Oh let me be… comeShameless…No mask hidesThe pain in life,So no words canExplain my fight.So, let me Be… comeShameless.I call this one it burns. I didn't write it about autism. But families face terrible trials. This was my response to one.3.

This one's rough. And long. And complex. It may not need a T.S. Eliot pretentious footnote. But I try to intertwine family, control, and religion. And real events from the winter of 97-98. When the Hale-Bopp comet was fading in the Northern New York skies. And the memory of the Heaven's Gate suicide cult was still fresh in the national mind.This is a hybrid piece. In my mind it's a movie. With scenes, background music. Jump cuts. But you guys probably loved Pulp Fiction. So I pray you can follow me.5. sneaking your mother's creepy g-d on highPrelude, December 1997I begin, “There…There's Heaven's Gate.”She fiddles with the binox dials.“Where should I look?”She asks breathless,Trudging bootless.I barely hear herOver the crackling snowBeneath my feet, but say,“There…That smudge in the sky.”I point again.UFO CultChooses Suicide,The TV said.Thirty-nine bodiesIn matching Nikes,The photo read…I close wet eyesTo the hiss & sizzleOf the Northern LightsOver my head,SilenceThen the cold murmurof the cold mother...“That's why they died?”She shrugs.My eyes open… careful, I shrug,“Maybe… they saw a signal from aliens.Or maybe God on high.Who knows what grimdark signThey read that silent night…”Wordless, clueless… a comet sailedRibbons of green and purple light.One cold blue, one hot pink tailFading from history's sight…So we stroll on intoFake New Year's dinnerCuz not everyoneCould schedule inThe Real One.How rare it isA two-tailed comet in the sky,A lover doesn't lie with her eyes,To greet one free man before you die,How rare it isHow rare it isDinner Musicmy mother in a halo of candlesmy mother wrapped in smokemy mother in dark shadowsmeasuring the length of my ropeShe gathers reports from her childrenThis year's fugue & pedal point,Her table a feast of sand.Youngest Mark files his,A new open source project…“I'm really getting seen.”Lifting my glass to himFrom the dark walnut table,I sip vodka… Neat.Martha next, from her foreign outpostA well-received talk given…Vodka.

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!I think we've outdone ourselves with a 2 HOUR LONG EPISODE!! This week, we got a very special guest - Sara's brother Sabri! We've referenced him A LOT in past episodes and he was actually one of our very first guests in the earlier episodes (pre-video days lol). We had to bring him on for his very own episode and we shared all the funny childhood stories, some life and career advice and our usual banter. We feel like there was still so much to be covered so if you want us to run it back and bring him on for a future episode to cover more life/career advice or any other topic, let us know...he might be asking us for some form of payment though
Growing up is tough… but some siblings are pushed to take on more, and grow up faster. Ellie Lopez captures that feeling many of us know too well, in her poem, ‘Ballad of the Eldest Daughter.' Here she is reading it LIVE on the streets of San Francisco's Mission District as part of the Flor Y Canto Literary Festival back in June.
In Episode 215, we dive deep into the realities of Eldest Sibling Syndrome, exploring the pressure, responsibility, and silent expectations that come with being the firstborn. We unpack why being alone for too long can turn toxic, shifting solitude from a place of peace to one of isolation and unhealthy habits. The conversation then flips to empowerment, breaking down the power of manifestation—how intentional thoughts and actions can reshape your reality. This episode blends honest storytelling, personal insight, and practical takeaways, leaving you with both self-awareness and tools for growth.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Were you the one who always held it together? The responsible one? The one who made sure everyone else was okay—sometimes at the cost of your own well-being? In this episode, we explore what it means to grow up as the eldest daughter—and how the roles we took on early in life may have shaped how we show up as women, physicians, caretakers, and leaders. Whether or not you're technically the eldest daughter, if you're a woman in medicine, you may recognize yourself in this conversation. Together, we share our personal stories, the burdens we unknowingly took on, and the healing that's possible through mindfulness, self-compassion, and intention. Pearls of Wisdom: Eldest daughter syndrome often mirrors what is expected in medicine: overresponsibility, emotional caretaking, perfectionism, and silent overwhelm. Mindful awareness helps us gently unpack the roots of these tendencies—where they began and why they persist—without blame or shame. Healing begins with recognition and continues with rest, boundaries, support, and a willingness to unlearn. You are allowed to stop carrying it all. And doing so may be the most loving act for yourself and those around you. Therapy, coaching, rest, and mindfulness are all powerful pathways to releasing what was never meant to be yours alone to hold. Reflection Questions: When did you first feel like it was your job to hold it all together? What have you mistaken for compassion that was self-abandonment? What might reclaiming your story look like now—with boundaries, rest, and gentleness? Are there areas where forgiveness—for yourself or others—might bring relief? Stay with us until the end for a grounding mindful moment—a space to breathe, feel, and explore what you've been holding... and what you might lovingly choose to lay down. If you're ready to stop carrying it all—and begin honoring your own needs with compassion—consider joining me for coaching: https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching For deeper integration and connection with others who share your lived experience, I warmly invite you to join a retreat: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If your organization or institution is seeking healing, inclusive conversations, and support around leadership, well-being, and identity, I would love to speak or lead a workshop for your group: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang is also available to bring her expertise and compassionate voice to your team or conference.

This episode is based upon a teaching about the eldest son. We all love the story about the prodigal son and how the father accepted him back with open arms. But what about the eldest son who had been working in the fields all those years. You will love the life-changing teaching!
Always the responsible one? The strong one? The one who “should” have it all together?In this validating episode of Normalize The Conversation, licensed psychotherapist Kathryn Lee explores the emotional weight of being the eldest daughter—and how the “should be” mentality often leads to anxiety, burnout, and disconnection from your true self.We dive into:✅ The silent pressures eldest daughters carry in families✅ How over-responsibility and perfectionism impact mental health✅ What it means to listen to your body and break generational patterns✅ Practical steps to let go of who you were told to be—and become who you areWhether you're the eldest daughter or someone healing from over-functioning, this episode offers insight, compassion, and permission to finally put yourself first.
The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Send us a textQuentyn Martell and his traveling companions joined up with the Windblown to get to Slaver's Bay. Now it's time to ditch their new friends and turn their cloaks to Daenerys Targaryen's side of the war. The timing of the move is integral. However, before they can make their break, they catch a break that makes their task a whole lot easier. Simon and Mackelly offer them fresh brown cloaks to turn.Chapter Review:Prince Quentyn Martell and his traveling companions survived the siege of Astapor, having signed up with the sellsword company the Windblown to earn passage to Slaver's Bay. Now, under the direction of the Yunkai generals, the company is turning their sights to Meereen. Quentyn knows it's time to desert before they end up fighting against the very woman he's been sent to marry. The task is easier said than done, as they have made friends in the company. Making matters worse, rumors are spreading around the camps about the horrible atrocities Daenerys has committed, causing the prince to second-guess his marriage plans.The Tattered Prince, the leader of the Windblown, has been given instructions to keep Astapori refugees away from Yunkai, as many carry the bloody flux. They are to turn them back to Astapor or drive them toward Meereen. However, the sellsword captain has his own plans. He assembles many Westerosi-born members of the company and orders them to secretly defect to Dany's side. He figures their Westerosi roots will make a good cover story for their defection to the Targaryen queen. That way, whichever side emerges the victor, the Windblown will come out on top.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Quentyn Martell - "Frog" - Eldest son, and second child of Prince Doran Martell of Dorne.Gerris Drinkwater - "Dink" - Quentyn's companion.Archibald Yronwood - “Greenguts” - Final member of the trio.Windblown - Sellsword company that has entered the fight against Daenerys Targaryen.Tattered Prince - Captain of the Windblown.Daenerys Targaryen - Last remaining descendent of the royal Targaryen line, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, claimant to the Iron Throne of Westeros.

In this episode, Diosa and Mala unpack “Eldest Daughter Syndrome,” recently explored by FIERCE by mitú, diving into the pressure to always be responsible, the emotional toll of raising siblings, and the unspoken role of being the bonus parent. They explore how these early expectations create anxiety, lead to rebellion, and force many eldest daughters to set boundaries later in life. From parentification to possible links with autoimmune illness, they ask: Is the weight of being the eldest daughter making us sick?

In this tribute to her father, delivered at the Evangelical Library in London, Lady Elizabeth Catherwood fondly recounts Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's strong affinity to books and reading. She begins by recalling some of her memories of her father, who always had a book in his hand. She recalls a beach holiday, where all her family was playing and enjoying the sun, sand and water in beach attire, but her father was fully clothed in a suit, sitting quietly by a rock reading “The Divine Imperative”. “Everyone took reading as a part of him” she states. Lady Elizabeth then goes on to list some books and aspects of reading that Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones disliked: paperbacks, digest and encyclopedias, over-concentration on “style” in books, agonizing over words, novels, and wrong intention for reading. Next, she lists the positive aspects of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's reading such as his phenomenal memory, the amazing breadth and depth of his reading, his ability to point out dangers in books, and the variety in his reading (both basic and elaborate). She then expands on Dr. Lloyd-Jones's favorite genres to read, that being Welsh hymns (as he was "a true Welshman"), church history, biographies, and of course, the Bible. To end her tribute, she speaks on how her father had confidence in his faith on his death bed. He had fought a good fight. He had finished his race.
