If your teen rolls her eyes, says “yeah yeah,” or shuts down the moment you try to help, this episode on girls' mental health and adolescent behaviour is for you.

We’re not talking about forcing her to do things. Instead, we explore real, body-led behavioural messages that lower stress, ease resistance, and create calm in your home, effective parenting support that works even when she refuses everything you suggest.

You’ll learn how to:

• Shape routines around her nervous system, not against it
• Use sleep, daylight, movement, and breath to regulate yourself and the household
• Support her capacity without power struggles or arguments
• Recognise progress in moments of neutrality, not compliance

This episode is designed especially for mums feeling exhausted after trying all the traditional strategies who want practical ways to lead with compassion and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship.

We also touch on how support communities like WTF, for mums of girls needing understanding and parenting support, can help you feel less alone while navigating resistance, shutdowns, and eye-rolls.

Because sometimes, the best way to help your teen's mental health is to start with yourself.

And listen, if you’re sitting there thinking “I need more than this podcast episode”, I’m running a live webinar tonight - 19th February at 7pm GMT.

It’s free. It’s 45 minutes. And I’m going to teach you exactly what freeze looks like, why we miss it, and what actually helps.
You’ll also get to connect with other mums who are in the exact same place.
So if you want in, grab your spot here.

Spaces are limited because I want to keep it interactive, so if you’re thinking about it, just register now.  

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.
