Overfunctioning Anonymous: Confessions of a Recovering Eldest Daughter

In this episode of Misinformed, Beth celebrates a huge career milestone as she steps into her dream role as a play therapist, while SJ gets uncomfortably honest about falling back into old “eldest daughter” survival patterns. From growing up as the built-in family manager to overfunctioning in jobs and relationships, SJ shares how those early responsibilities shaped her boundaries (or lack thereof) — and what it’s taking to reclaim her time, energy, and sparkle. There’s a trip to South Korea, a murky aura, sibling protest signs, and the reminder that sometimes doing less is the bravest thing you can do. It’s funny, raw, and a must-listen for anyone who’s ever been told, “I don’t have to worry about you.”
