Mums, let’s face it - navigating social media’s influence on our daughters is one of the biggest parenting challenges today. In this episode, I’m diving deep into research from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation and Lisa Hinkelman’s The Girls’ Index to unpack how social media affects self-image, confidence, and mental health in teenage girls. We’ll explore the physiological impacts and why it’s crucial to take a “physiology first” approach to help our girls manage this digital landscape.

You’ll hear about:

 • The psychological and physical tolls of constant social comparison and validation-seeking.

 • How brain development and body chemistry make teens especially vulnerable to anxiety from social media.

 • The small, practical steps we can take to create positive change, including how my Glow Groups can support your daughter to reconnect with herself and understand her body’s signals.

If you’re ready to go beyond just monitoring screen time and instead take actionable steps to support your daughter’s well-being, this episode is for you.

Tune in and discover how you can be proactive in supporting your daughter’s self-awareness and resilience in today’s digital age.
