We're not just one thing, Reader. I'm an eldest daughter, a book nerd, a Texan, a former overachiever and a writer. You may identify as an eldest daughter, an athlete, a traveller, a programmer, or anything else you want. Which is why we knew when we think about Eldest & Co, it wouldn't serve anybody for us to just be all one topic all the time. But we have some new faces around here so I wanted to make sure you were aware of all the various topics we're covering on our website and the most recent content in all those areas: Confidence & Mindset
Dating & Relationships
Productivity & Organization Money & Career
Travel & Lifestyle
Do you have a topic that you would love to have more resources on? Hit reply to this email and let us know (I swear we read every single one!) Love your internet big sis, Samantha (Founder of Eldest & Co) |

I'm all looking polished, put together but trying on clothes is the bane of my existence (and no, just doing it at home isn't that much better). This has certainly affected how many upgrades I've made in my closet over the years, so I'm probably a prime candidate for a personal shopper or something, but that's a subject for another day. I bring up dressing rooms because they demonstrate a key principle of how we achieve our goals:...
I hate running, Reader. Like really dislike it. For years, I hated exercise in general specifically because I hated the feeling of the tightness in your chest when you're struggling to breathe and it feels like your body is screaming at you to stop.
