That slammed door? It’s not just teenage attitude. It’s her nervous system trying to cope.

In this real-talk episode, I unpack what’s really going on behind the mood swings, shutdowns, and outbursts - and how you can respond without losing your own sanity in the process.

Because here’s the truth:

Your daughter’s brain is still developing.

Her body is overloaded.

Her hormones are cycling - often with the moon.

And her behaviours? They’re messages, not just meltdowns.

We’ll cover:

  • What her slammed door is trying to tell you
  • How her body reacts before her brain does
  • Why 1 in 3 UK teen girls report high anxiety levels - and what’s behind that
  • One powerful tip to help her (and you) reset in 90 seconds

You’ll leave this episode thinking: “Ahhh, okay - now this makes sense.”
