EP 24. Breaking Oldest Daughter Burnout: How Laura Reclaimed Her Peace & Negotiated a 5-Figure Raise
In this powerful episode, host Evie sits down with one of her clients and longtime friend, Laura Ashley Hernandez — a proud Chicana, environmental scientist, business owner, and podcast host. Together, they dive into Laura’s deeply personal and transformational journey from burnt-out overachiever to a confident, boundary-setting, five-figure-salary-negotiating powerhouse.
Laura shares what it was like growing up as the eldest daughter in a multigenerational line of eldest daughters, and how that shaped her identity and sense of responsibility. She opens up about the challenges of unlearning the need to prove herself — especially in the corporate world — and how stepping into the Self Worth Accelerator Mastermind helped her embrace self-compassion, reclaim her power, and negotiate her worth.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of over-delivering, undervaluing yourself, or wondering if you're “allowed” to walk away from a job that doesn’t serve you — this episode is for you.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- How Laura broke generational patterns of “first-daughter overachiever” energy
- The identity crisis that followed her decision to quit a “dream job” that drained her
- Why walking away was the ultimate act of self-worth — even without a backup plan
- How she transformed shame and burnout into confidence and clarity
- The role community, coaching, and nervous system regulation played in her healing
- What it looked like to negotiate her next role with a $32k salary increase
