Stress can sneak up on us, especially when we’re carrying the invisible weight of responsibility, caretaking, and perfectionism that eldest daughters know so well. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t take hours of self-care or a week-long retreat to reset your nervous system. Sometimes, all you need is five minutes.

True strength is letting your energy move with honesty and care, allowing yourself to be supported, and choosing softness when softness is what you need.

I created this Sunday Self-Care Ritual for Eldest Daughters as a weekly reset — a way to release responsibility, replenish your energy, and start the week feeling grounded… not depleted. Think of it as a soft place to land before life asks you to lead again.
