It’s Exam Season again and I’m diving into one of the biggest flashpoints between mums and teenage daughters right now: revision.

If the idea of two hours a night feels impossible, sparks conflict, or leaves your daughter shut down on her bed scrolling TikTok - this episode will help you understand why… and what to do instead.

I’ll walk you through:

  • Why teens can’t revise like adults (and it’s not laziness)
  • What revision stress looks like in the body, brain and heart
  • The UK stats every parent should know
  • A practical, compassionate alternative to the “perfect” study timetable
  • How to protect your daughter’s wellbeing and support her success

You’ll leave this episode with insight, relief, and real strategies you can try this week.

A little heads up, I’ve opened the doors again to my WTF Membership and they’re open till 27th September 2025 at midnight BST.

Keep an ear out, because I’d love to welcome you inside.
