Is your daughter shutting you out, lashing out, or saying things that sting — and you’re left wondering how to reach her without making it worse?

In this powerful episode of The Teen Whisperer, we’re diving into one of the most important tools you’ll ever use as a mum: how to really listen — not to fix, but to help her feel safe, seen, and heard.

You’ll learn:

  • What’s actually going on in her brain and body when she melts down or shuts down
  • Why your calm response is more powerful than the perfect words
  • And how to use “regulation-led listening” to turn conflict into connection

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t know how to help her anymore,” this episode is for you. With science-backed tools (like co-regulation and breath matching) and grounded, mum-to-mum guidance, you’ll leave feeling more equipped to hold space — even in the hard moments.

Your simple tool this week? A hug. Or if that’s too much — just your calm breath, beside her.

Because she doesn’t need you perfect. She needs you present.
