Let me help.
NEED A BIG SISTER’S POV?Over the years, our founder, Samantha, has talked to hundreds of women on topics ranging from confidence, self-worth, dating, money mindset, habits and more. Now we have an “Ask a Big Sister” section of our weekly newsletter where she answers questions and gives advice on specific situations from our community!
A note from one eldest daughter to another:
You are allowed to not
have it all together.
You deserve support too.
About our founder, Samantha
I am not a guru.
(But don’t worry, you don’t need one.)
I am a girl who spent her teens and twenties chasing the the checkboxes. Get into a great school? Check. Get an impressive job? Check. Be social so you meet new people? Check. Get promoted so you have an elevator pitch at cocktail parties? Check. Figure out how to read people so you can fit in? Check.
I’m also a girl who was approaching (and is now in) her thirties and realized none of it was actually making her feel the way she wanted to. I was still struggling with not feeling fulfilled, with accepting shitty behavior in my dating life and with avoiding hard conversations because I was too afraid of being rejected.
So I made it my mission over the last five years to address these patterns and figure out what it really takes to feel “good enough” and legitimately like my life and myself. And as a big sister, I’m genetically unable to not share helpful advice when I know it will help, so I’m here to share what I’ve learned.
Talking to you,
Recovering people pleasers.
I know how good it feels good when you’re taking care of others. Being the dependable, responsible one feels so natural to you, it’s like it runs through your veins.
But you’re old enough now to realize that all the pleasing, overachieving and leading is leaving you exhausted, lost and lonely. You want to receive as much support, affection, and love as you give. I’ve been there and it starts with learning how to ask for help.
GUIDE
Want to run your own BFF board meeting?
This tradition helped my friends and I build workout routines, finish drafting a book, heal relationships with family and much more. Turns out, the difference between just saying the goal and getting it done were in a few tweaks.
This guide will walk you through how we set up our BFF Board Meetings, questions to ask each other and what made the difference in us actually following through so you can make the same leap. (And the guide has a bonus for those who don’t currently have besties to Board Meeting with so you can get started solo if needed!)
QUIZWhich type of eldest daughter are you?
Regardless of whether you were actually born first, you’re probably here because the eldest daughter archetype feels so friggin’ real to you.
But here at Eldest & Co, we’ve come to realize that there’s actually a couple of different types of eldest daughters and that figuring out which one you are can be key to figuring out how to unlock your next big phase of growth!
