2026/02/18

Send a text If you believe anxiety in girls only looks like panic and restlessness, think again. In this episode, I explore an often overlooked aspect of girls' mental health: the freeze response. When your daughter can't get out of bed, refuses to eat, or becomes withdrawn and silent, it’s not laziness, it's a biological survival mechanism known as the dorsal vagal shutdown. I'll help you understand adolescent behaviour better by showing why freeze is frequently mistaken for depression...

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.

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.

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.

Christmas - Why Emotions Run High at Christmas

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.

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.
