If screens are the biggest fight in your house and conversations about phones end in shutdown or silence, this episode is for you.

I dive deep into girls mental health and adolescent behaviour to uncover why phone battles often miss the real issues underneath.

Rather than banning phones, I explore how behavioural messages manifest through freeze responses and why phones become an important coping mechanism for overwhelmed girls.

Learn why phone detoxes can backfire, how freeze behaviour shows up as avoidance or withdrawal, and what screens are doing for her nervous system.

I'll share practical parenting support strategies to reduce tech battles without power struggles and reveal one simple mother-daughter activity that builds safety without forced conversation.

This body-first approach helps mums understand the root causes of behaviour and fosters connection, not control. Tune in to shift your perspective and improve your mother daughter relationship by responding with insight rather than frustration.

If your teen rolls her eyes, says “yeah yeah,” or shuts down the moment you try to help, this episode on girls' mental health and adolescent behaviour is for you.

We’re not talking about forcing her to do things. Instead, we explore real, body-led behavioural messages that lower stress, ease resistance, and create calm in your home, effective parenting support that works even when she refuses everything you suggest.

You’ll learn how to:

• Shape routines around her nervous system, not against it
• Use sleep, daylight, movement, and breath to regulate yourself and the household
• Support her capacity without power struggles or arguments
• Recognise progress in moments of neutrality, not compliance

This episode is designed especially for mums feeling exhausted after trying all the traditional strategies who want practical ways to lead with compassion and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship.

We also touch on how support communities like WTF, for mums of girls needing understanding and parenting support, can help you feel less alone while navigating resistance, shutdowns, and eye-rolls.

Because sometimes, the best way to help your teen's mental health is to start with yourself.

January can make it feel like everything should be different: new routines, new energy, new rules and yet your daughter is still avoiding work, shutting down, or pushing back. If you’re standing there wondering, “Why isn’t this changing? What am I doing wrong?” this episode is for you.

This week, we unpack parenting support and why behaviour doesn’t shift overnight, how to spot small wins you’re probably overlooking, and practical ways to support your daughter when she’s unmotivated without nagging, rescuing, or burning yourself out, to improve your mother/daughter relationship.

You’ll learn:

• Why behaviour is the last thing to change, not the first.
• How to recognise quiet signs of progress.
• Why regulation always comes before motivation.
• How to support her in real life, even when she resists.

Plus, I share why slow progress is still progress and why you don’t have to do this alone.

🎧 Tune in and take the pressure off yourself this January.
