Ep 10: Turning 40 Epiphanies & Celebrating Season One!

Turning 40 has been a wake up call for us - not in the “crisis” way but in the what’s most important to us kind of way. Using this year’s epiphanies to help us realign to our dreams and the life we want to be living has been so useful! We, Krystal & Kenecia, share our epiphanies, reflections, and candid stories about health, money, creative goals, and wanting to really EXPERIENCE life! Did you have epiphanies when you turned 30, 40, 50, 60, & beyond? We’d love to hear your take on the clarifying and potent insights that come with the privilege that is aging!

Ep 8: Breaking Free of Family Roles

Discovering yourself beyond the role of eldest daughter is essential for learning who you are, what you stand for, and who you want around to support you. In this episode of Eldest Daughter Diaries, hosts Krystal and Kenecia, share openly about what their process of individuation - the process of becoming distinct, whole, and independent from those around you - looked like. We talk about losing friends, being misunderstood, and rooting into who we want to be in this life.

Ep 6: Solo Travel & the Courage It Takes

We didn’t grow up knowing solo travel was a thing but our solo trips have been some of the most transformative, amazing experiences of our lives! There’s a lot to it and it took time to work up to, especially traveling as women around the world. Today, we talk about: * How we came to know about solo travel * Solo travel as a learned skill * Building confidence in solo travel often starts with small steps * Exploring different cultures is synonymous with personal growth * The loneliness is real * Navigating new environments can be both challenging and (mostly) rewarding * Safety is important while traveling * Travel can help you connect with different parts of yourself * Solo travel can lead to unexpected adventures! * Adventuring in your own company can change your life endlessly for the better!
