Back to EpisodesLooking After Yourself as a Mum of a Girl: Understanding Stress and Body Signals
Description
This episode is a heartfelt message to every mum working her way through the day to day life of parenting teen girls and supporting their mental health. We explore the behavioural messages your body sends when you're running on empty and how suppressed stress affects not only you but your mother daughter relationship.
Discover what permissioned release looks like in real life, a manageable approach that brings relief rather than guilt. Learn about teenage behaviour through the lens of biology, and why taking care of your nervous system is crucial not just for your daughter's wellbeing, but for yours as well.
This episode offers parenting support tailored to understanding and managing the pressures that come with teen girls, helping you find balance and resilience in your journey.
