Hola, soy Viry
Learning to finally put myself first
As the eldest daughter, I’ve spent most of my life showing up for everyone else. Every week, I write about choosing me, which is harder than it sounds.
The short version.
Eldest daughter. First in my family to do a lot of things. Currently on PTO from the job of holding it all together.
Prefer to listen? It’s also a podcast!

Perfectamente in Progress
A weekly letter for first-gen eldest daughters making room for themselves. Stories from a life that’s ahead on some things and still in the thick of others.
- Proof you’re not the only one
- Stories that don’t skip the guilt
- One small step every week
Start here
Three letters I’d hand a new friend
New here? These are the ones I’d send you first: a new way to think about goals, fifteen years of love, and a reminder that the fun doesn’t stop once the roles start.
Productivity
When goals feel too heavy, try this instead
Relationships
I told him at 17 he’d never be my priority
Joy
My PT has a dad band (and more of a life than I do)
Free workbook
More than your Roles
For when you’re the one everyone leans on. Space to figure out who you are outside the roles you play, and what you want just for you.
speaking & workshops
Let’s work together
I speak and facilitate workshops for first-gen professionals and the teams that support them, on navigating corporate, building community at work, and creating a career that makes room for your own dreams.
Let’s connect
The everyday in-between that doesn’t make it into an essay.
