If home feels like a battleground over screens and moods, this one’s for you.

We’ll dive into why social media hits girls harder from the dopamine highs to the self-doubt lows and how it messes with her developing brain.

You’ll hear simple, in-the-moment tools to help you both find calm again and rebuild real connection in a world that thrives on distraction.

Because it’s not about the phone, it’s about her physiology, and her need to feel seen.

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.
