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.

Want to talk it through? Book a free chat - sometimes just saying it out loud is the first step.
