We’re taught that oldest means responsible, middle means independent, youngest means carefree. And sometimes that really does fit. But a lot of people don’t see themselves in those boxes, and there’s usually a reason for that.

Family roles are shaped by what was happening in your home, not just the order you were born into. If a sibling was struggling, if a parent was overwhelmed, if you were the one who adapted quickly or stayed easy, you may have stepped into a role that wasn’t “yours” on paper.

For example, that’s how a youngest can feel like the oldest. That’s how someone becomes the peacemaker, the planner, the emotional support, without anyone explicitly asking them to be.

These patterns are not random. They are ways your nervous system learned to create stability in your environment.

Birth order can explain part of the story, but it doesn’t have to define you. You’re allowed to understand the role you took on and decide what you want to keep and what you don’t ❤️

Side note: this was a fun little experiment, but asking the community on social media that does not know me personally, is not going to yield 100% accurate results because they are basing their decision off of parts that I choose to show on here. Throughout my time as a therapist, I have worked with many people that don’t align with their birth order sentence and of course some that do. It is an interesting topic that is of course, like most things, nuanced. I can’t possibly capture all meaning in one post. Regardless, thank you for being a part of this🫶🏼

Getting back to business was really hard🥲

I truly don’t feel I was ready for how motherhood would change me and all that it entailed. It has been the toughest and most remarkable transition of my life.

With no paid leave, a rude awakening of how new moms are treated in this world, and learning quickly how important a village really is… it took time to get my pink back🦩

To all you bada$$es out there. I see you. You’re doing your best and you’re killin it♥️
