Send us Fan MailYou can build a great life and still feel like you’re failing if your identity is glued to being the fixer. I’m talking with Adaku Mbagwu, a firstborn daughter who went from childhood scarcity and taking on a “second mom” role to earning six figures young, then hitting a brutal turning point: depression, suicidal ideation, and a season of homelessness before she rebuilt from the inside out and grew a 2.4 million-pound business.We get honest about what “firstborn daughter syndrome” can look like in real life: over-functioning, resentment, people-pleasing, money instability, and a quiet belief that love has to be earned. Adaku shares the coaching question that cracked everything open for her: “Who told you you had to do that?” From there we unpack the savior complex, codependency patterns, and how our subconscious beliefs can keep recreating the same outcomes even when our intentions are good.If you’re a high-achieving woman, an eldest daughter, or someone healing trauma while trying to grow a business or lead a family, this conversation will give you language, clarity, and next steps.
