Teen Whisperer | Understanding Teen Girl Mental Health
This podcast is your essential guide to understanding teen girls, teen girl mental health, and parenting teen girls.
Whether your daughter is a tween, teen or young woman, and you want to understand what the friggidy frigg is really going on beneath the tricky behaviour, the big emotions, and the screen she won't put down, this is the podcast for you.
It focuses on the unique challenges of tween and teen girl’s development, including hormones, anxiety, emotional cycles, and communication struggles. Learn how to decode teen behaviour, and support your daughter using tools and real-world experience that cuts through frustration and guilt.
Every week, I bring you the biology, the physiology, the tools, and the honest conversation that should have happened years ago. The nervous system science behind her behaviour. The truth about what tech is actually doing in her body. The Whole Body Reset tools that give her something better to reach for, because we can't talk it out of our girls. But we can give their nervous systems somewhere better to go.
Shocked. Inspired. Eyes wide open. That's what I want for you.
Because so much of what we've been told about parenting girls is wrong, wrapped up in control, pressure and guilt. The world isn't set up for our girls. But there is a different way. A way that starts with understanding her body, her cycle, and the world she's actually living in.
And if you’ve ever wondered how her scrolling is never just about why she scrolls like it’s going out of fashion… Check out my new freebie on the individual episode description - 15 Quick Wins and give her the thing she’s actually craving.
Let's make understanding our girls a revolution, one episode at a time, so our girls grow up feeling seen, safe and capable. And we can stop parenting from fear and start parenting from insight and confidence.

Regulation Before Behaviour: Transforming Parenting for Girls' Mental Health
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When your daughter is dysregulated, traditional parenting methods like consequences, logic, and talking often don’t work, not because you’re doing it wrong, but because her nervous system isn’t available for any of it.
In this episode, I dive into girls' mental health and teenage behaviour, explaining why everything you’ve been taught about parenting falls short when the nervous system is dysregulated.
You’ll discover two transformative frameworks: the simple in-the-moment roadmap (Safety → Regulation → Capacity → Reconnection) and the comprehensive WTF Method, which guides mums through the five-stage journey from confusion to integration in understanding their daughters' behavioural messages.
You’ll learn why rational conversations fail during dysregulation, how to navigate your mother daughter relationship more effectively, and where you currently stand in this important parenting journey.
If you’ve felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to respond to your daughter's challenging behaviour, this episode offers practical parenting support to help you notice her state before responding and build stronger connections.
Tune in to gain clarity, confidence, and a new perspective on nurturing your daughter’s mental health and behaviour during these critical adolescent years.
When the nervous system can’t regulate, sleep suffers. And when sleep suffers, regulation is harder
