In this episode of Birth Order Unpacked, I sit down with Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) Chasity Russell, eldest of six sisters and first grandchild on both sides of her family. Chasity shares how cultural expectations and birth order shaped her role as nurturer, leader, and perfectionist.

Our dialogue explores the weight of these roles, the challenges of setting financial, emotional, and communicative boundaries, and the ways childhood dynamics often spill into adult relationships. With both personal reflection and clinical insight, Chasity highlights strategies for balancing autonomy, compassion, and connection.

This conversation offers listeners a framework to understand sibling hierarchies, family systems, and intergenerational roles, while inviting them to reimagine healthier, more intentional ways of relating.
