About this listen
In this episode, Mary talks with Adaku Mbagwu—a Nigerian-born, Tulum-based transformational guide and the self-proclaimed “first daughter disruptor.” Through her global community, Healed Hero, Adaku helps high-achieving firstborn daughters release generational pressure, perfectionism, and the invisible labor that keeps them exhausted—and build success that actually feels good.
What we cover
- Eldest-daughter dynamics across cultures (Nigeria, UK, Mexico)
- Invisible labor, hyper-independence, and why “strong” isn’t a life plan
- The Strategic Vulnerability Framework: awareness → sharing → receiving → magnetic authenticity
- Sibling dynamics, resentment loops, and how to repair without losing yourself
- Coaching case study: from stuck at $160K to $1M+ by unlearning “I must be needed”
- Practical scripts for asking for help (without feeling weak)
Guest: Adaku Mbagwu — Transformational Guide, Founder of Healed Hero
Host: Mary McCorvey — Experience Over Expectation (author & podcast host)
