Too Much Responsibility, Too Little Reward

When you're expected to parent your siblings without the support or grace that's typically extended.

Welcome to Ada Love, a heartfelt monthly exploration of life's most meaningful connections. As an eldest daughter writing under this thoughtfully chosen pen name, I share intimate reflections and practical wisdom about navigating relationships, family dynamics, career paths, and personal growth.

My newsletter speaks directly to fellow "self-sacrificers" – those who have historically put others' needs before their own. Through vulnerable storytelling and gentle guidance, I aim to support readers in breaking free from patterns of excessive self-sacrifice, embracing healthy boundaries, and cultivating lives rich in both giving and receiving.

Each edition weaves together personal essays, actionable insights, and community stories that illuminate the path toward greater self-love, balanced relationships, and authentic fulfillment. Join me as we learn to honor our own hearts while nurturing the connections that matter most.
