    The Eldest Daughter Rewrite: Culture, Queerness, and Coming Home to Yourself

    This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Sara Stanizai to talk about what it means to reclaim your culture, identity, and story on your own terms. Together, they explore how to honor your collectivist roots while honoring yourself, and how reconnecting to your culture can be one of the most transformative acts of self-love. This one is for you if you’ve ever felt too far from your culture, and you’re ready to do it your way, with pride, nuance, and tenderness. In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Sara Stanizai, a queer Afghan American feminist therapist, speaker, and host of the “You Did That!” podcast, to talk about cultural reclamation, eldest daughter energy, and finding belonging beyond binaries. From internalized shame and disconnection to reconnection, visibility, and purpose, Sara shares what it really looks like to redefine success and healing when you haven’t seen it modeled before. This episode is for the ones who have carried too much for too long. The ones who are learning that culture can be reclaimed with love, not guilt. The ones ready to take up space in their own way, bold, gentle, and true. Together, we talk about: Reconnecting to culture as a radical act of healingEldest daughter expectations and reclaiming self-trustIntegrating queerness, faith, and family on your own termsBuilding a therapy practice rooted in lived experienceBalancing collectivist values with self-honoring boundariesWhy integrity and self-trust are core to liberationDoing something you haven’t seen done beforeClosing Reflection Sara reminds us that there’s no test for belonging, once you claim it, you are part of it. That reconnection is not about doing culture “right,” it’s about doing it your way. And that healing means returning to yourself, honoring where you come from, and daring to live fully in your truth. This is for everyone learning to bridge the worlds they come from and the one they’re creating. About Sara Stanizai Sara Stanizai (she/her) is a queer Afghan American therapist, coach, and speaker.
