It feels like every teenage girl is struggling with anxiety right now. 

But what if we’re looking at it the wrong way?

Not every anxious moment means she has an anxiety disorder. 

In fact, most of the time, her anxiety is just a natural response to an overwhelming world - not a sign that something is wrong with her.

In this episode, we break down:

✔ Why anxiety doesn’t start in the brain (and what actually triggers it).

✔ The difference between an anxious response and an anxiety disorder.

✔ How to help your daughter feel safe again - without reinforcing the anxiety cycle.

If you’ve ever wondered WTF is going on when your daughter spirals, this episode is for you.

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.
