Eldest Daughter Syndrome

from The Happy Eating Podcast Hosted by Carolyn Williams PhD, RD & Brierley Horton, MS, RD

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?
