Teen Whisperer | Understanding Teen Girl Mental Health
This podcast is your essential guide to understanding teen girls, teen girl mental health, and parenting teen girls.
Whether your daughter is a tween, teen or young woman, and you want to understand what the friggidy frigg is really going on beneath the tricky behaviour, the big emotions, and the screen she won't put down, this is the podcast for you.
It focuses on the unique challenges of tween and teen girl’s development, including hormones, anxiety, emotional cycles, and communication struggles. Learn how to decode teen behaviour, and support your daughter using tools and real-world experience that cuts through frustration and guilt.
Every week, I bring you the biology, the physiology, the tools, and the honest conversation that should have happened years ago. The nervous system science behind her behaviour. The truth about what tech is actually doing in her body. The Whole Body Reset tools that give her something better to reach for, because we can't talk it out of our girls. But we can give their nervous systems somewhere better to go.
Shocked. Inspired. Eyes wide open. That's what I want for you.
Because so much of what we've been told about parenting girls is wrong, wrapped up in control, pressure and guilt. The world isn't set up for our girls. But there is a different way. A way that starts with understanding her body, her cycle, and the world she's actually living in.
And if you’ve ever wondered how her scrolling is never just about why she scrolls like it’s going out of fashion… Check out my new freebie on the individual episode description - 15 Quick Wins and give her the thing she’s actually craving.
Let's make understanding our girls a revolution, one episode at a time, so our girls grow up feeling seen, safe and capable. And we can stop parenting from fear and start parenting from insight and confidence.

Christmas - Why Emotions Run High at Christmas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
Your daughter’s nervous system is basically running a marathon in a snow globe.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why festive seasons hit girls so hard
- What’s really behind the meltdowns, tears, snappiness and shutdowns
- How overstimulation, masking, and emotional pressure collide
- What YOU can do to stay grounded (even when everyone else is losing it)
- Real-life tools to help her regulate without lecturing, snapping, or shutting down yourself
Because Christmas chaos doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum.
It just means you’re a human mum, raising a human daughter, in a very intense season.
Listen in and let’s take some of that pressure off - for both of you.
And if you want deeper support through the messy, emotional, hormonal, “I-don’t-know-what-she-needs-now” moments… come join us inside WTF - What’s The Feeling.
It’s the safe, zero-judgement space for mums going through the same shizz as you.
Because remember, it’s physiology before psychology. Always.
If this episode helped you to feel a little more seen, understood and less alone, I'd love to welcome you into WTF - What's The Feeling - don't you know? A supportive community where mums make sense of what's really going on with their daughters, together.
Because you shouldn’t have to figure this all out on your own.
