Being the only daughter isn't just a family role—it's an experience that leaves a lasting imprint. Without siblings to share the spotlight—or the pressure—only daughters often become the emotional center of their families. Sometimes they're praised for their maturity, sometimes weighed down by it. Over the years, I've worked with many women who grew up as only daughters, and I've also had the privilege of raising one myself. In my journey as a parent of an only daughter, I continuously work to show up as the mom she needs now, adapting and growing alongside her.
