Am I Bad Daughter?

If you're struggling to set boundaries, constantly second-guessing yourself, or feeling the quiet pressure to always be the “strong one,” this is for you.
It’s not your fault.
You’re carrying generations of expectations that were never meant to be yours alone.

This free guide isn’t about blaming your family or rejecting your culture.
It’s about helping you pause, get honest about the emotional weight you’ve been carrying, and decide what kind of daughter, woman, and person you want to be on your own terms.
This is for you if you’re done just “coping” and ready to start reclaiming your peace.
If that’s not where you are, that’s okay. This guide won’t make sense until you’re ready to stop showing up small and start healing.
But if you’ve been quietly whispering, “I can’t keep doing this,” then you’re in the right place.
