Your daughter isn’t lazy, unmotivated, or just being dramatic - she’s overwhelmed. 

In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, Rach unpacks the sneaky nervous system responses that look like procrastination, perfectionism, or apathy, especially during big life transitions like finishing school, starting a job, or leaving home.

You’ll discover:

  • What her body and brain are really trying to tell you
  • Why she clings to the “uncomfortable comfort zone”
  • The difference between “I don’t care” and “I’m scared”
  • A powerful 1-minute breathwork reset you can use anytime
  • How play and micro-moves help her get unstuck without pushing

Plus, Rach shares practical tools you can use today to support your girl -  and calm your own nerves while you’re at it.

This is the episode every mum needs when her daughter is frozen in fear but doesn’t know how to say it.

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.
