Text Your Eldest Daughter Question

As the first/second-generation eldest daughter, early on, it's expected that you'll "be the example."

Your path is laid out for you based on your family's cultural expectations.

Whether that's the type of education you pursue, when you get married, who you marry, and when you have kids.

But what if you don't want to follow the exact cultural expectations that have been expected of you?

How do you pursue creating the life you want in the way you want to do it without offending your parents, ruffling family feathers, or being perceived as a failed example to your siblings?

In this episode, we talk with holistic health coach and founder Illie, who is also a first-generation eldest daughter.

She shares the exact steps she took to forge her own path opposite of her cultural expectations, how she overcame the challenges she faced on the journey , and how it all impacted her relationship with her family.

As a first gen eldest daughter you achieve many firsts on your own.

But one that is very new to you and your parents are feeling your feelings.

This either feels very familiar or very scary.

However, feeling your feelings is learning to navigate them in ways that are safe so that you can show up for yourself in the ways that you need.

In this episode we're joined my licensed marriage and family therapist, Victoria Cortez.

-The tension of honoring our family culture and tradition but also accepting there’s parts of it we don’t want to pass down to our future children.

-What to do if your family isn’t presently supportive of you going on a healing journey via therapy.

-What to do knowing you can’t control or change your family.

-One simple tool you can use right now to start feeling your feelings if you don’t know where to start.

-What to look for and what to ask when searching for a therapist who’s a right fit for you.

As Victoria encourages, be a cycle breaker.

Every first-gen eldest daughter wants to hear from their parents “I’m so proud of you”.

But what happens when the pursuit of this praise and acknowledgment from our parents ends up compromising our health, relationships, and work/life balance?

You want to make your parents proud but also feel happy with the life you're creating.

In this episode, I share two things you can begin doing in order to start living life on your terms without guilt, instead of making decisions from a place of hoping it's enough to make your parents proud.

As a first gen eldest daughter you can be apprehensive about taking a step toward a new path or toward a dream you've only kept to yourself.

Like changing careers from one that is lucrative to one that feeds your passion, from deciding to travel full time for a year instead of allowing the pressure to marry to keep you going on endless dates, or from wanting to train for your first 5K instead of believing you'll only be the girl who binge's Netflix on the couch after work.

You're afraid to pursue these hidden dreams because you have fear of failure, fear of being wrong, fear of people's judgements, or fear of disappointment.

In today's episode we have guest, Soul Connection Coach, Claudia-Sam on to discuss 3 steps to take in order to trust yourself to do things your way and pursue your dreams even when it's scary to move forward with so much uncertainty and fear.

As your Soul Connection Coach, Claudia-Sam helps you to get back on track and in alignment with who you really are.

The times of people-pleasing, not knowing what you want, getting sick over and over again, being stuck in overwhelm and overthinking, and pushing down your emotions are OVER!

Claudia-Sam helps you to recognize the difference between the voice of the Ego self and the one of your Soul Self so that, as a passionate Leader and trailblazer, you can finally make the impact in the world that you are here for (with confidence).

Using her Tune-In method and the teachings of A Course In Miracles, she works with individuals one-on-one, in groups, and also through businesses to help them slow down while still being productive. This includes ditching the self-care guilt, creating a deeper connection with their Higher Self and flexing their soul connection muscle so that they can be their own inner guides to fulfillment and happiness now.

Claudia-Sam worked in Media for over 10 years in Montreal, Canada, and after burning-out, she dove into making her life better so that others’ can also thrive without fear, self-doubt, worry or stress.

She taught yoga all over the world and has thousands of students on Insight Timer.

It 's so easy for us to focus on how we’re going to change something or fix it. We jump straight to the strategy without ever stopping to be with ourselves first.

Some of the questions we should be asking before jumping to strategy are: 

Is this in alignment with my end goal? Does this meet where I’m at in this present season? Do I have the capacity for this right now? Is there a more efficient way I can go about doing this?

But you know what, who wants to look in the mirror at themselves internally to see what’s lying beneath? Who likes facing the deepest scars or thoughts that we would rather hide from the world and ourselves?

We all have traditions in our families that we carry over to each generation.

For some of us life-giving health habits are not one. We are the first in our families to start a new trend toward a quality health & well-being.

At times this can feel isolating, tiresome, and more like a burden.

How do you navigate being the first in your family to invest in your health & wellbeing while everyone criticizes  or judges you?

Is it worth continuing on despite the support?

In this episode I share about my personal experience with this and what thought you can hold on to moving forward on your pursuit of wellness.

Does your plate always seem to be full? Every time you turn around someone needs you, or asks you to do something? Are you  starting to feel exhausted, and not just on a physical level?

Guess what? I have, for years. 

In today’s episode I share the process of how I went from being a burnt out caregiver , struggling mentally, feeling forgotten , and exhausted to now having peace of mind, joy, and living out things I never thought would be possible in just 1 year.

I share in this episode just how my family and myself became victim to the very things I saw my patient's endure. Which led to me discovering something I never knew existed.
