Is your daughter refusing school, waking with tummy aches, or spiralling before the day even begins? You’re not alone and she’s not “just being difficult” ad you are often told.

In this episode I unpack why school anxiety and refusal are actually a nervous system response, not bad behaviour. You’ll learn what your daughter is really signalling, and practical tools you can use in the moment to help her feel safe, seen, and supported.

This episode is real, raw, and filled with hope for you and your daughter.

If anything I’ve said today resonates, grab my free 60 Second Reset - it’s a two-sided guide, one for you and one for your daughter, that helps you read what’s happening in her nervous system and know exactly what to do in the moment.

Want to talk it through? Book a free chat - sometimes just saying it out loud is the first step.

Wish your daughter had her own podcast to help understand what’s going on? Send her to Girl You’ve Got This - available on all major platforms.

Don’t forget to subscribe so you’re the first to get new episodes, and leave a review - it helps other mums find the podcast too.

See you next time! 💛
