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
