Don’t be so sensitive.”

“It’s just banter.”

“That’s just how boys are.”

Sound familiar? These aren’t harmless comments — they’re signals your daughter may be learning to ignore just to stay safe.

In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening when girls experience everyday disrespect — whether that’s unwanted comments, online messages, or boundary-pushing behaviour that’s brushed off as normal.

You’ll learn:

• What’s going on in your daughter’s nervous system when she feels unsafe or disrespected
• Why she might laugh it off, stay silent, or shut down — and why that’s not weakness
• How to support her in regulating her body before expecting her to speak up
• Simple, science-backed tools to help her respond with confidence

Plus, I’ll walk you through one powerful 4-minute practice that helps build connection without needing a heavy “talk.”

This one might bring up emotion — anger, guilt, even old memories — but it’s too important to avoid. Let’s start changing the story for our girls.

If today's episode landed for you, if you heard something that made you think yes, that's my daughter, that's exactly what's going on, then I want you to know there's a place where we go deeper on all of this together. It's called WTF - What's The Feeling - and it's my membership for mums who are ready to stop firefighting and start actually understanding what's going on. You'll find the link here. Come and have a look. I think you'll feel right at home.
