Send us a text If you’re ending this year feeling tired, emotional, and quietly wondering whether you’ve messed it all up as a mum, this episode is for you. Not to fix you. Not to tell you to “be more grateful”. And definitely not to add another thing to your already full plate. This is a pause. In this year-end episode of The Teen Whisperer, I gently unpack why guilt gets so loud for mums and why that guilt isn’t a sign you’re failing, but a nervous system under pressure. We talk about: ...

Send us a text Does Christmas leave you feeling like you’re failing, even though you’re doing everything? The planning. The organising. The emotional holding. The carrying of everyone else’s needs. And somehow… you’re still exhausted, snappy, and quietly wondering what’s wrong with you. Meanwhile, your daughter’s emotions feel louder, messier, closer to the surface and every reaction seems to press a button you didn’t even know you had. If that’s you, this episode is for you. In this epi...

The Reset Your Teen Really Needs: Play

Teen Whisperer Podcast: Understanding Behavioural... ·

2025/12/10

Send us a text Ever noticed how your daughter can spend hours building, drawing, dancing, or just messing around and people around her say, “Isn’t she too old for that?” What she’s doing is regulating her nervous system, processing emotions, and making sense of her world, all through play. Pressure from school, friendships, social media, and the constant need to “perform” leaves her little downtime to actually process her world. In this episode, I’m breaking down: • Why messy, “pointless” p...

Christmas - Why Emotions Run High at Christmas

Teen Whisperer Podcast: Understanding Behavioural... ·

2025/12/03

Send us a text Ever wondered why your daughter goes from excited… to overwhelmed… to melting down all in the span of 2 milliseconds? Why she suddenly can’t cope with noise, people, plans, or even the Christmas tree lights? It’s not attitude. It’s not drama. And it’s definitely not bad behaviour. Christmas is one giant overstimulation cocktail - noise, crowds, expectations, late nights, comparison, pressure to “be happy,” and zero downtime. Your daughter’s nervous system is basically running a...

Her Rewiring Brain: The Stage No One Talks About

Teen Whisperer Podcast: Understanding Behavioural... ·

2025/11/26

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into what’s really going on with your tween or teen girl: the hormones, the rewiring brain, the overwhelm, the pushback, and that totally normal “WHO even are you today?” phase. I’m breaking down counterwill, the developmental stage nobody talks about, and why your daughter isn’t a mini adult (no matter how much the world expects her to be). If she feels emotional, unpredictable, reactive or shut down… there’s a reason. And once you understand the stag...

One second she’s fine… The next she’s tense, quiet, snappy, withdrawn… and you’re left thinking: How can one little phone do this much damage? In this episode, we’re diving into why social media hits girls so hard and how comparison, perfectionism, and online pressure slowly chip away at their confidence and self-worth.

Yup. I get it. That’s your body saying STOP. And if you don’t listen, it’ll make you.

This week, we’re pulling the curtain back on what really happens inside our girls and us, when bereavement hits.

2025/10/08

Send us a text This week, we’re talking periods, body changes, and helping your daughter feel at home in her own skin. While heavy bleeding, pain, and mood shifts can feel overwhelming, many of the struggles girls face around their cycles are a response to societal shame, lack of understanding, and the world being set up for men, not a problem with them. I break down the 28-day cycle and what each phase really means in everyday life. I also share why understanding her cycle is just as much ab...

When Survival Shows Up as Behaviour

2025/10/01

Send us a text This week, we’re diving into neurodivergence. While a diagnosis can be life-changing for some girls, many behaviours we’re quick to label as “symptoms” are actually responses to stress, screens, and an overwhelming world. I break down why physiology comes before psychology, exploring the nervous system, neuroplasticity, and how your daughter’s body and brain are doing exactly what they’re meant to do: survive. I also share simple reframes and practical tools to help her (and yo...

She's Not Lazy - She's Scared of the Future

2025/08/20

Send us a text Fear of the future is eating our girls alive. It hides behind slammed doors, endless scrolling, half-finished work, and the shrug that says, “I don’t care.” But underneath procrastination and perfectionism is the same raw truth: she’s terrified of failing, of disappointing, of not being enough or of letting you down. In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, I unpack why procrastination and perfectionism go hand in hand - especially in the shadow of any kind of results. You’ll hea...
