note on: reflections, resolutions, and getting shit done
Welcome to 2026 and the first episode of the new year! This episode is all about reflections, resolutions, and getting shit done. Whether you're sitting with your journal reflecting on 2025 or mapping out your intentions for 2026, this episode walks you through the entire process: from thoughtful journal prompts that help you process the year (the joys, the challenges, and the lovely things), to the psychology and neuroscience behind achieving your goals (we're talking about the reticular activating system, your brain's built-in goal GPS!), to practical strategies that I've personally used over the years to stick to my goals and make things happen.For my eldest daughters specifically, we’ll touch on saying no and boundary-setting, because the truth is that all the goal-setting in the world means nothing if you haven't established and maintained boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being. We're talking about how saying no to requests that aren't yours to carry is actually saying YES to your own goals and how the space you create through boundaries is where your dreams actually get to grow. If you haven't listened to that boundaries episode yet, definitely go back to it after this one; both episodes work well together!Finally, I end on some verbal and visual practices: affirmations, gratitude journaling, brain dumps, and vision boarding techniques (fun fact: 80% of what I've put on my vision boards has come true!) that you can start implementing in the new year and beyond!“note on: saying no and boundaries 101”:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/0NSGllicz3y4qii4sQgFhX?si=3l72iPqTTlW3_nE2syQ26gApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/notes-from-an-eldest-daughter/id1827173315?i=1000730687732Recommended Readings:Locke & Latham: Goal-Setting Theory: Locke, E.

note on: saying no and boundaries 101
Hello, hello! This is the pilot episode of the new series, "note on"! This series focuses more on topics that concern the average eldest daughter: setting boundaries, cultural expectations, mental health, friendships and dating, and finding your voice beyond family duty, among many other topics! The series is more in-depth, exploring my own personal journeys with these topics, some journal prompts I utilized to work through the tough moments, as well as practical tips and reminders to help fellow eldest daughters (and anyone else tuning in). "note on" is a project that I hold close to my heart and I hope you're able to take something away from it, even if it's just one piece of the puzzle we call life!

There was an attempt to sing, attempt being the operative word. Alas, another episode of ‘we’re not really strangers Wednesday’s’! Truly enjoyed recording this episode; starting off the month of October really well with this episode! Additionally, there’ll be something new coming this month, so stay tuned for that. And as always, thank you to all those who’ve been supporting the podcast; it truly means the world to me 🫶🏾0:00 - intro + weekly check-in2:15 - Card #1 (friendly advice)4:25 - Card #2 (attempting to sing)7:01 - Card #3 (Hi-life)11:03 - OutroConnect With Me:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eldestdaughternotesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eldestdaughternotes/Substack: https://substack.com/@eldestdaughternotes?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageEmail (Business Purposes ONLY): [email protected]<33

wnrs wednesdays: relationships (w/ self), unlearning, and love languages
Another episode of ‘we’re not really strangers Wednesday’s’! Recording late at night has now become a habit (which I’m breaking ASAP 😭), so if this gives night routine ready, add away to your evening listening session. Big bonus, it’s the shortest episode yet, so great listen for listeners who struggle to multi-task with audio (you know who you are).
