Fear. It’s the quiet thief of confidence and it’s still living in our daughters’ bodies years after COVID.

In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, I unpack:

  • How lockdown rewired our girls’ nervous systems
  • Why “I don’t care” shrugs, meltdowns and shutdowns aren’t attitude - they’re fear
  • My personal story of watching this happen with my own daughter
  • Three practical tools you can use today to help your girl feel safe again

This isn’t about labels or quick fixes. It’s about understanding what’s really going on so you can stop second guessing, feel confident, and reconnect with your daughter.

Listen now and share with a mum who needs to know she’s not alone.

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. It’s my space for mums just like you, where we go deeper into understanding your daughter, decoding her signals, and giving you the support and tools you need so neither of you feels alone in this. Keep an ear out, because I’d love to welcome you inside.
