If you’re ending this year feeling tired, emotional, and quietly wondering whether you’ve messed it all up as a mum, this episode is for you.

Not to fix you.
Not to tell you to “be more grateful”.
And definitely not to add another thing to your already full plate.

This is a pause.

In this year-end episode of The Teen Whisperer, I gently unpack why guilt gets so loud for mums and why that guilt isn’t a sign you’re failing, but a nervous system under pressure.

We talk about:

• why your daughter’s big emotions aren’t bad behaviour, but communication
• how guilt shows up in your thoughts, your body, and your parenting
• why labels and “fixing” often miss what girls actually need
• how stress, hormones, and exhaustion amplify self-doubt
• and how calm and confidence return when we lead with physiology before psychology

And finally, we gently bridge into January because change doesn’t happen overnight, and you’re not doing it wrong if things don’t magically improve on January 1st.

🎧 Press play if you need reassurance, grounding, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

Does Christmas leave you feeling like you’re failing, even though you’re doing everything?

The planning.
The organising.
The emotional holding.
The carrying of everyone else’s needs.

And somehow… you’re still exhausted, snappy, and quietly wondering what’s wrong with you.

Meanwhile, your daughter’s emotions feel louder, messier, closer to the surface and every reaction seems to press a button you didn’t even know you had.

If that’s you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, we unpack why this time of year hits mums and teen girls so hard, not from a mindset or motivation angle, but from the brain, heart, and nervous system.

You’ll learn:

• why Christmas overload isn’t a personal failing, but a physiological response
• how your daughter’s nervous system mirrors yours (and why that matters)
• what “mirroring” actually is and how it builds safety instead of conflict
• why regulation comes before behaviour change
• and how small, realistic shifts can bring more calm and connection over the holidays

We also talk honestly about:

• the mental load mums carry at this time of year
• why routines matter more than perfection
• and how asking for help models resilience, not weakness

Holidays are meant to feel lighter… so why does it sometimes feel like your daughter has disappeared into her phone and you’re left snapping, worrying, and wondering where you went wrong?

In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, we’re talking honestly about screens, social media, and why tech so often steals the season especially for tween and teen girls.

This isn’t about banning phones or blaming yourself. It’s about understanding what screens are actually doing to your daughter’s nervous system (and yours), why willpower isn’t the problem, and how to create realistic boundaries that don’t blow up your relationship.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why social media is designed to be addictive and why your daughter isn’t “weak” for struggling
• The 5 signs tech is impacting your daughter’s wellbeing
• How comparison quietly erodes girls’ confidence and sense of self
• What physiology before psychology really means when it comes to screens
• Simple, doable tools to reduce tech battles and support self-regulation — even during the holidays

If you’re a mum who feels like you’re failing, nagging, or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode is for you.

You’re not alone.
You’re not doing it wrong.
And there is another way forward 💛

Because remember: it’s physiology before psychology. Always.

Ever wondered why your daughter goes from excited… to overwhelmed… to melting down all in the span of 2 milliseconds?

Why she suddenly can’t cope with noise, people, plans, or even the Christmas tree lights?

It’s not attitude.

It’s not drama.

And it’s definitely not bad behaviour.

Christmas is one giant overstimulation cocktail - noise, crowds, expectations, late nights, comparison, pressure to “be happy,” and zero downtime.

Your daughter’s nervous system is basically running a marathon in a snow globe.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why festive seasons hit girls so hard
• What’s really behind the meltdowns, tears, snappiness and shutdowns
• How overstimulation, masking, and emotional pressure collide
• What YOU can do to stay grounded (even when everyone else is losing it)
• Real-life tools to help her regulate without lecturing, snapping, or shutting down yourself

Because Christmas chaos doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum.

It just means you’re a human mum, raising a human daughter, in a very intense season.

Listen in and let’s take some of that pressure off - for both of you.

And if you want deeper support through the messy, emotional, hormonal, “I-don’t-know-what-she-needs-now” moments… come join us inside WTF - What’s The Feeling.

It’s the safe, zero-judgement space for mums going through the same shizz as you.

Because remember, it’s physiology before psychology. Always.

In this episode, we dive into what’s really going on with your tween or teen girl: the hormones, the rewiring brain, the overwhelm, the pushback, and that totally normal “WHO even are you today?” phase.

I’m breaking down counterwill, the developmental stage nobody talks about, and why your daughter isn’t a mini adult (no matter how much the world expects her to be).

If she feels emotional, unpredictable, reactive or shut down… there’s a reason.
And once you understand the stage she’s actually in, everything becomes easier - for her and for you.

You’ll also get practical tools you can use this week to bring more calm, connection and confidence back into your home.

Grab your cuppa and get comfy, this one will help you breathe again.

Ever watched your daughter scroll and suddenly everything changes: her mood, her body language, her entire vibe?

One second she’s fine…
The next she’s tense, quiet, snappy, withdrawn…
and you’re left thinking: How can one little phone do this much damage?

In this episode, we’re diving into why social media hits girls so hard and how comparison, perfectionism, and online pressure slowly chip away at their confidence and self-worth.

You’ll learn:

• Why girls’ brains are more sensitive to online comparison
• How dopamine, cortisol, and constant notifications dysregulate her nervous system
• The link between social media and sleep, anxiety, and “mood swings”
• Practical tools you can use to help her feel safer, calmer, and more grounded online
• How to build her confidence offline so it isn’t shattered by likes, comments, or group chats
• The surprising thing your daughter needs most (and it’s not banning tech)

This episode is your guide to helping your daughter reclaim her sense of self without power struggles, shouting matches, or trying to police the internet.

And remember… she’s not addicted to her phone.
She’s addicted to feeling seen.

Let’s help her find that in ways that don’t break her.
