If your daughter often shuts down when you offer encouragement, withdraws when things get difficult, or loses motivation under pressure, this episode is essential listening for you.

I explore the ins and outs of girls' mental health and the freeze response that can cause teenage behaviour to seem like defiance or laziness. Discover why the common phrase "You've got this" can sometimes deepen her shutdown and what the freeze response feels like within her body and mind.

I discuss how overwhelm affects her confidence and self-belief, why avoidance is often a form of protection rather than rebellion, and most importantly, how to rebuild her confidence through parenting support that emphasizes safety and patience.

This episode provides a nervous-system-led reframe designed to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship without pressure, helping you understand the behavioural messages your daughter is sending.

By tuning in, you'll learn how to support your girl's mental health and foster growth with empathy and insight, paving the way for a stronger, more connected relationship.

If screens are the biggest fight in your house and conversations about phones end in shutdown or silence, this episode is for you.

I dive deep into girls mental health and adolescent behaviour to uncover why phone battles often miss the real issues underneath.

Rather than banning phones, I explore how behavioural messages manifest through freeze responses and why phones become an important coping mechanism for overwhelmed girls.

Learn why phone detoxes can backfire, how freeze behaviour shows up as avoidance or withdrawal, and what screens are doing for her nervous system.

I'll share practical parenting support strategies to reduce tech battles without power struggles and reveal one simple mother-daughter activity that builds safety without forced conversation.

This body-first approach helps mums understand the root causes of behaviour and fosters connection, not control. Tune in to shift your perspective and improve your mother daughter relationship by responding with insight rather than frustration.

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.
