129. Rest Isn’t Laziness: The Hidden Cost of Being the Firstborn Daughter with Adaku Mbagwu

[TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to suicide.]

What happens when responsibility is placed on your shoulders before you even have language for choice?

In this honest and illuminating conversation, Serena Low is joined by Adaku Mbagwu, founder of Healed Hero and widely known as The First Daughter Coach. They explore the emotional, cultural, and psychological imprint carried by firstborn daughters — particularly those who grow up over-functioning, over-delivering, and quietly burning out while appearing “capable” and “strong.”

Adaku shares her own journey as a firstborn daughter in a Nigerian Igbo family, where responsibility was culturally assigned before birth. She unpacks how this early parentification shapes perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, and the belief that love must be earned — patterns that often follow firstborn daughters into leadership roles, careers, and entrepreneurship.

This episode is a compassionate invitation to awareness, self-honesty, and re-parenting — not through grand gestures, but through micro-moments of choosing yourself.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What “eldest daughter syndrome” really looks like in everyday life
• Why firstborn daughters often become the second mother in the household
• How unconscious family dynamics translate into careers, leadership, and burnout
• The link between perfectionism, over-responsibility, and invisibility at work
• Why firstborn daughters struggle to receive support — even when they give endlessly
• The cost of believing that love must be earned through performance
• Re-parenting yourself through micro-choices rather than radical overhauls
• The courage required to move from resentment to responsibility
• Why awareness — not blame — is the true turning point for change

SPEAKER_01 0:45

Thank you so much for having me, Serena. It's a pleasure to be here.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

Oh, I'm so excited to have this conversation with you.

From Breakdown To Purpose

SPEAKER_00 0:52

Could you begin by maybe sharing something of what brought you on this journey and why you do this work?

SPEAKER_01 1:00

Um, so I kind of landed on this by accident. Firstly, I'm a firstborn daughter. Actually, the name Adaku in the Nigerian Igbo culture, every firstborn daughter is given the name Ada, and then the rest of the name is unique to the child. But um, the Ada is known as the second mum. So before I was even born, it was ordained on me that I was going to have responsibility culturally. Um, but yeah, I think just through my own journey and then through my breakdown, I fell into depression and had a couple failed suicide attempts before I started doing the work to figure out how did I get to that place. And that work eventually translated into um people telling me that I should go into coaching and supporting people and thinking, uh I've been looking after people all of my life, and now you want me to go into a profession where I look after people? Why would I do such a thing? Um, but eventually I stopped resisting and I tested it out and I had a gift for it. And um, at first I wanted to help everyone. I was like, I don't know who to niche on. Everyone kept saying niche, niche, niche. And I'm like, humans are humans, you know? And um eventually I started to notice that the women, the people that were thriving in my work were entrepreneurial and executive women. I get told that my work is intense, so it's not everyone that can kind of deal with it, but these subset of women could. And then just about a year and a half ago, two of my clients asked for coaching on their dynamic with their firstborn daughters. And I realized, wow, why is it that these two back to back are having issues with their firstborn? And it was the same sort of thing. They were frustrated that they weren't a certain way, they wanted them to be more like them, they had these expectations, and I was like, why don't you have that with your other children? And that's when I took a step back and thought they're they were working on the same dynamic with their parents and they're recreating it unconsciously. Maybe there's something here. And when I took that step back, I Googled firstborn daughter and I saw eldest daughter syndrome, which is some research that came out in 2014, 2024. And that's when I was like, okay, there's something here, it's generational, and that I also realized that all of my clients that were female executives and entrepreneurs were firstborn daughters. So I and I had unconsciously attracted them, and then by seeing the pattern, I was like, okay, I want to do something to break this generational pattern because it just keeps continuing over and over again, and it shouldn't. So that's how I started working with this demographic of women.

How Eldest Daughter Roles Form

SPEAKER_00 3:41

That is the first such um description with such clarity that I've heard about the eldest daughter's syndrome. So tell us a bit more what makes this eldest daughter unique. I know you mentioned that in your case you were named for it or that role, even before you were born. But what makes a firstborn daughter different from the other siblings?

SPEAKER_01 4:09

So I can't say that this is definitive, but the pattern that I've seen is that there seems to be a dynamic specifically between the mother and her first girl that shapes that firstborn daughter. So and I have noticed, especially from my clients when I'm coaching them with their youngest, that they see the firstborn as a representation of themselves. So they want that child to be everything and more that they weren't, and they also want that child to love them in the way that was missing from their parent. So that puts a lot of pressure on a child to be kind of fill this emotional void and it's unconscious. So it's kind of like this is the first go around, this is a girl, she's like a reflection of me, and I've got to make sure that I make do the best job I can. And in doing that, it puts this pressure on a way that that child needs to be, a way that she needs to interact with the mother. And I think that's what shapes that dynamic of expectation, responsibility, parentification in terms of how that child should be looking after the mum or showing up in relationship to the mum. Um, and it's very different to the first boy. Um, in what I I know that the firstborn boys and girls have similar traits, but even research is starting to show that um firstborn daughters have significantly more pressure on how they should be and the role that they play in the household.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

Yes, I think in the in terms of the household, you did mention that the firstborn daughter is like the second mom. And I can think of many, many such cases of friends who are expected unconsciously, I think, to step up to be that extra pair of helping hands when moms are busy with the younger children, so they look after the siblings, they cook, they clean, they you know put them to bed and all the rest of it. So they they grow up very quickly and they come across as more mature and responsible. So what you're saying is that in a sense they have been shaped for this, prepared for this, and and there is also that expectation for them to act that way. And when they act out that way, they are praised for it, which means that they also get their own emotional need fulfilled.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

They don't really get their emotional need fulfilled, they are trained that what you do um um yields praise as a return. So then they feel I'm not worthy unless I'm achieving. So that's what it creates. It creates a belief that love has to be earned. So if their inemotional needs were fulfilled, then they would believe that they would, they are loved just as they are. But the whole, well, this is the expectation, and you have to step up. And when you do, we're like, oh my gosh, you're so amazing. It's like, oh gosh, I'm not amazing if I'm not doing everything. And then that's what creates this chronic need to be in control of everything and everyone and fix everything and everyone in order to be good enough to be loved.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

Yes. So what you've just pointed out is the difference between unconditional love that every human being is entitled to by way of their divine birthright, versus I have to perform, I have to earn, I have to do certain things, I have to tick the boxes. I have to make my parents proud, I have to make them look good, I have to uphold the family honor and this appearance of, you know, everything is as it should be, according to tradition. So I guess there's also that cultural intersection, isn't it, of our our own cultural norms and background and traditions that we're brought up in.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Absolutely. I think that across the board, firstborn daughters feel this pressure, eldest daughter feel this need to look after their siblings and be that second mum. Because it also applies to only girl, like children, um women that are the only child or women that are the youngest of boys, they still have this firstborn daughter um trait or attribute. But yes, I I do see just your the question slips me in terms of what you culture. Yes, with immigrant parents, there seems to be this um more explicit um pronunciation. So, like you said, a lot of your friends, it's kind of um indirect and it's not really conscious, the expectations is kind of implied. Whereas in the culture, I was told consistently growing up from aunties and uncle, well, you're the second mum of the house, you're the ada of the house. I even had a conversation with a new person I just met that was Nigerian this um this weekend, and he um he heard that my name's Adaku, and he said, Oh, you're the firstborn, so you're the like you're the mum of the house. So there's this kind of it it's led everywhere. Um, and it's more, yeah, with my other clients who are Vietnamese background and um Persian background, it seems to be this kind of explicit, well, of course, you're gonna play that role because that's what you're supposed to do in our culture, and that creates even more pressure.

Perfectionism At Work And Burnout

SPEAKER_00 9:25

Yes, so the girls grow up to be women who are natural caretakers for everyone else. How do you see this pattern playing out in careers and business?

SPEAKER_01 9:35

Oh, significantly. So, um, so these they're not all bad patterns. So I'll just kind of preface by saying that. I think that firstborn daughters are incredible human beings. Anyone that is friends or has a firstborn daughter in their life are really lucky because they are very loyal, they are very meticulous in how they show up, they hold themselves to a high standard. So anything that they deliver is of a high standard, which is great in Korea because they're going to produce high-quality work. Where it tends to have drawbacks is that perfectionism trait, the need to kind of have everything figured out and be kind of prim and proper slows them down. So where people will get things to 40%, put them out, make mistakes, adjust, and move forward, they will hold it back and keep working on it until it's near 100%. And even though they might put it out at 95%, they'll be beating themselves up for the 5%. So that's a lot of pressure and stress and self-criticism, which just in business, it means that their ability to scale is limited. In career, it means that a lot of the times they're not putting themselves forward for opportunities. They're hoping to perform and get seen because in they've just taken that dynamic of the parent at home into work. And now the boss is their parent. So they're like, okay, well, if I do more, then maybe you'll see me. And a lot of the times you kind of need to advocate for yourself and ask for that promotion and put yourself forward. So then there's that becomes this resentment that exists in their personal life of I give so much and no one gives back, then translates into work. I'm giving I'm doing so much and I'm not getting acknowledged with the promotions. And so the perfectionism slows them down, the hyper-independence slows them down because instead of using or creating a really strong ecosystem of support so that they can focus on strategic tasks, they kind of end up being the bottleneck. They don't trust people to deliver to their standards, so they have to have a their hand in everything, and that limits their ability also to move forward. It makes them overwhelmed, always teetering on the edge of burnout. Um, what other traits are there? Um so this need to perform in order to be loved causes them to constantly anticipate everyone else's needs, which is a great thing because they can pick up on nuances and things that allows them to consider other people, but it becomes an issue when they're sacrificing themselves or they're not communicating because they don't want to affect someone. And you know, it's that that overcompensation of what everyone else is thinking and feeling that kind of takes their eye off the overall objective and kind of disperses it and makes their guards or boundaries. They they typically have very loose boundaries that are dependent on whoever is needing them or who they feel that they need to show up for. So that's another thing that can affect their ability to move forward because they are allowing themselves to be distracted by things that are not aligned to the ultimate goal.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

And yet at the same time, I think typically these firstborn daughters are also high achievers, high performers. So they are ambitious in their own way. But what you're saying is because of this unconscious pattern that's running in the background, they hold themselves back, they don't communicate quite as directly or as often as they need to, they're constantly watching to please and to gain approval. So there is something inside them that is still seeking, that is not quite firm and solid and grounded.

Reparenting Through Micro Moments

SPEAKER_00 13:39

So, what does the firstborn daughter need to do once they become aware that there is this pattern running?

SPEAKER_01 13:47

Um, so they have to repair reparent themselves into wholeness. And what do I mean by that? When you said um, so they they their needs are fulfilled, and I said, no, their needs aren't fulfilled, they are chasing this external need, and they need to realize, okay, well, my parent didn't let me know that I'm okay as I am. So, what are the ways that I can do that? And when I work with clients, it's um in micro situations. So the moment that they don't speak up is when they need to speak up, and then they they tell themselves they matter because they're speaking up and advocating for themselves. In the moment where their boundaries are a little bit loose, they need to set the boundary. And there's going to be a lot of fear associated with that because it's kind of like, well, I've survived and achieved all of this, these results by being this way. So if I switch up, then what if I lose everything? And what if I lose everyone? And what if people don't love me or I lose my job? And these are all real kind of fears that the brain chucks up to kind of protect, because that's what it's designed to do. So um it's yeah, it's looking at those the patterns and analyzing those micro circumstances that they're showing up and making a choice to do the opposite in the moment. And that is then what kind of reprograms like, okay, well, I I'm good enough to take care of myself, I'm good enough to um to say no when I can't. I'm good enough to be able to speak up, I'm good enough to, you know, so and that's what starts reprogramming that I'm only worthy if other people are happy or if other people are validating me.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

I love that you mentioned the micro moments and the micro situations, because that means it starts with self-awareness. So you are inviting them to notice that every time something comes up, that could be a trigger, could be a challenge for them, or makes them really uncomfortable. And their default is to go a certain way, and now you're asking them to go the opposite way, which is going to be uncomfortable for them and very new. But the more they do that, the more they discover their own inner strength.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

It is, and you said the awareness part that's kind of hard for firstborn daughters, which may be triggering to hear because they are so brilliant. Um, but because their focus is so external, like who do I need to deliver for? What image do I need to portray to be the perfect person? Who do I need to make sure is happy and not offended? They often are not seeing all of the ways that they're showing up, you know. So they're like, well, everyone comes to me for advice and I'm achieving all these things. And even though people think that I'm great, I know that there's a like a level of performance that I'm nowhere near tapping into that I know I'm capable of. But they don't focus on that. They so to stop focusing externally and spend a little bit more time on like, okay, well, if I keep repeating all of these things, if everyone is taking advantage of me, I'm the common denominator. So what am I doing to contribute to that? Is that typically the hard kind of turning point for firstborn daughters when I start working with them. But once they are able to do that, it just opens this kind of um yeah, this floodgate of all of the opportunities there are to shift things.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Actually, now that you mention it, I think when you hold a mirror up to yourself for anybody, even those who are not firstborn daughters, anyone listening to this, the minute we're asked to hold a mirror up to our own behaviors, that's that moment of honesty. And we can either run from it and say, I'm not dealing with this, this is too hard, I can't face myself, or really take a moment to look in the mirror, see what we see, but not judge that, but just start from there. That's the baseline, that's the acceptance point. This is the reality as it is now. This is what I've been doing all this time, these are the patterns I've been playing out. What am I going to do now? And I think that takes courage. That's like a crossroads moment for any person.

The Question That Shifts Everything

SPEAKER_01 18:05

It really does. It really does. It was um it was the aha moment that kind of started my personal growth journey. It was difficult because when I was at depression and felt suicide attempts, and a lot of these firstborn daughters who may be listening, maybe at that point of burnout and feeling severe exhaustion, the go-to thing to do is to blame all of the things externally that are contributing to that. So I was frustrated with my family. I'm like, all they do is take, take, take. No one ever checks in with me. Like they just think I'm an ATM with unlimited funds. Like I had all of the complaints. And then I had to, a coach of mine, the first coach I worked with, said to me, Who told you you had to do all of those things? And I was like, What do you mean? If I don't do it, who will? Like everything will crumble down. I had all of these rebuttals, and he just kept asking the same question until I ran out of um excuses. And when he asked it one more time, I was like, Why do you keep asking that question? Who said I had to do it all? And I was like, Who did say I had to do it or wow, no one actually said you have to do this? So I've taken on the role and I've trained everyone to be this way, and now I'm angry with them. So if I want something to change, then I have to change, you know, and that was the beginning of like a whole new world for me. So it is difficult, but it's the most powerful thing you can do because every time you're pointing your finger, you're zapping your power away.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

I was expecting you to say the three fingers pointing back at yourself. That's a nice one. That's a nice one. But yes, yes, taking responsibility for ourselves that we are the ones who make the change. That is huge because it's so much easier to blame by looking outwards. When I look outwards, yes, I'm giving my power away, but it also means I don't have to deal with it right now. It's not my problem, it's their problem, it's their fault. If they changed, then I would be fine. I don't have to do anything else. So I'm the victim. And I think, you know, I think all of us at different points in our lives not that we consciously want to be the victim or the martyr or do we feel all that resentment, but we do allow it to build up to that point where we almost feel self-righteous in that feeling of I'm really hard gunned by woe, woe is me, and all that sort of how do you guide someone to get to that point where they can stand up and say enough of this?

SPEAKER_01 20:37

Um,

The Payoff Of Playing Small

SPEAKER_01 20:38

I don't think I can guide someone to do that. So there are clients who've been working with me for four years and or more, and um one of the most triggering things that they hear me say is it doesn't hurt enough because they want to argue with me and argue the case of where they are, and I'm like, okay, be there. You know, it's like I don't I don't need you to change. And then they're like, but help me. And I'm like, I you need to want to move, you know, it's like I can't really jump into your being and decide to let go and look at what is in my control and what I can work at. But I think that people can accelerate that process um where if they're ready by looking at the payoffs that they have from holding on to being a victim. So there's multiple payoffs. So you could be avoiding responsibility, you could feel like um you need to that that's your way of feeling validated by making someone else the villain in your story or whatever the reasons are. When I looked at um the pattern that I had of making a lot of money and losing a lot of money, I had that for a few years. And I was like, if I'm contributing to this, why might I be contributing to it? And I've noticed that when I had a lot of money, everybody needed stuff. And I felt pressure to give it all away. And then I felt like I had to keep working to make more. And when I needed a break, I just got rid of the money. And I was just like, I look, I can show you my account because it was easier than saying no. You know, it's like I couldn't have it and say no. And um when I saw that, I was like, do I really want to keep this pattern of making lots of money and losing it just to have a break? Or can I just learn how to say no? And realizing that there was it was worse to have those peaks and troughs than to kind of deal with the short-term discomfort of just saying, I wish I can help you, but I don't have excess to be able to do that, was what allowed me to move through that pattern and and not create it again. So it just depends on how bad it's hurting. And unfortunately, as humans, we seem to need to be put through a lot of pain before we let go of habits and patterns that we're we get used to and become accustomed to.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

It's so true. There's something about pain that drives us to finally make that change and become a different person. I

The Face Self And Secret Self

SPEAKER_00 23:09

also want to ask you about the what do you observe as the intersection, if any, between being an introvert, a quiet achiever, a firstborn daughter?

SPEAKER_01 23:22

I know extroverted firstborn daughters and introverted firstborn daughters. And I have a little bit of a question mark with the introvert-extrovert question because I've been exploring it for myself. I would describe myself as an introvert, but I don't think that it's nature, I think that it's nurture. Because growing up, I had this gift that I have to be able to hear what people were saying and kind of understand the truth behind what they were saying, and I would blurt it out because I was a child, and people weren't ready to hear what I had to say. So they would get triggered. And then my friends would say things, I've got to be careful about who I bring you around. And you know, so then I started feeling like, oh my gosh, I make people feel bad. And so, in order to limit my impacts on people, I need to hide out or I need to ration my time with people. And that became a trait that kind of followed me. And when I'm in new crowds that I don't know, I'm completely quiet. But when I'm with the people that I love that accepts me as I am, I'm very funny and loud. And so I thought I was an introvert, but I think I lose energy because I'm overthinking the impact that I might have on people. Um, not to say that uh introvert and like I don't, I just have a question mark on it because I kind of just blankly took on that title, and then the more I've delved in, the more I've realized that no, I think I became this way based on how the world was responding to me. So, but with firstborn daughters, um I would say that even the ones that are extroverted. Okay, I have an answer. Firstborn daughters have the face version of themselves, and then they have the secret version of themselves. And they typically are really good at ticking all the boxes, keeping this image of perfection and being accomplished and composed, and they don't really show their vulnerabilities. So a lot of the work that we do is to get them to wear their vulnerabilities because that's what makes them humans. And um I would say that there is a part of firstborn daughters that is silenced, and that's the part of them that becomes invisible, and that's the part of them that doesn't communicate their needs, and that's why they feel like people don't show up for them, or people don't know how to show up for them because they don't ever express that they're in need, because they need to have everything together, because if they're perfect, they are loved because they've had to they've learned to earn love. So I don't know whether that ties into the introvert-extrovert question, but that is definitely a pattern that I see as a three-line for first bond doors.

SPEAKER_00 26:18

Thank you. It's not a clear answer because I don't think there is meant to be a clear answer to this whole, you know, discussion about personality and traits and how people are. What I've learned from interviewing so many people is on both sides of the spectrum, as well as those who say they are ambiverted, I think is that our traits evolve with the seasons, with where we are in life, with our circumstances, with the environment. And as you mentioned rightly as well, it's also nurture. So I've met people who said they were extroverted up to a certain point in school, and then something happened, and then they became very introverted. And I've also met introverts who say that over time they grew more extroverted. And that that was probably due to the initial maybe shyness, you know, awkwardness at a certain age and stage of life. And then you develop the confidence to, you know, that that social side of yourself, you allow that side to be seen, and and but you find that it's actually safe for people to see you that way. So I think a lot of it comes back also to our self-perception of what safety looks like for us. So if safety looks like being perfect and performing all the time and holding ourselves up to very high standards and looking put together and never revealing that we are under stress or we are cracking or we're not sleeping, or you know, something's really bothering us, then that's how we that's how we show ourselves in the world. But then there is a cost, I think. When we suppress that part of us that that is calling out for help or that needs to be heard or needs to say something, and we're actually commuting that voice, I think that would be the problem.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

Exactly. Absolutely. Um, it is, and I think the human design is to love and be loved. And first one daughters are really great at giving love and they want love to come back, but they're not great at receiving love. And one of the things that that creates that barrier is the inability to outwardly be honest about what they're experiencing that is not of the positive or not shiny and perfect, and um yeah, I I it's it's sad because it they're so loving, but it stops them from cultivating true deep relationships, and because the reason the love songs and movies that are sad are successful is because people identify and connect with them. So um yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:40

Yeah, it's that inability to ask for what they need.

SPEAKER_01 28:45

Or just to express, I'm not I'm not good right now.

Learning To Ask For Support

SPEAKER_01 28:49

I'm not, I don't have it together. Like sometimes the work in the muscle of just verbalizing those low vibrational emotions uh it's uh takes a lot of courage at first, and then once they can start acknowledging them, then it becomes easier to know what they need. I think they're so they've gotten used to dismissing their needs for so long that some of them don't even know. It's like I know that things aren't really working right now because I'm trying to juggle everything and everything seems to be dropping, but I I don't know what I need, you know. So it's like, okay, well, can we just acknowledge I'm overwhelmed, I'm stressed, I'm struggling to carry this. And then in doing that, the needs become a little bit more clear.

unknown 29:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 29:33

I think it's it's when we are in our hits for way too long and we are rewarded for being in our hits, but then we become disconnected from our hearts, from our souls. We don't have the language for it anymore, we lose the muscle for it as well. So all that part from the neck down just atrophies and becomes disconnected. So what you are doing is really important work of bringing all that back together into one you know holistic person. And that's how we all should be. We are not just one thing, we are many things, we are many aspects. You know, there's so much nuance to each human being. And I think you know, when we we try too hard to perform and to meet others' expectations, believing that that is how it should be, or that's how it's always been, and therefore this is what I have to do in order to be loved, then something very vital is missing. So thank you for
