Episode Description
In this episode, I delve into understanding girls' mental health through identifying the emotional states that your daughter might be experiencing: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
Many parents struggle to decode teenage behaviour and the behavioural messages their daughters are sending, leading to confusion and miscommunication. Using real-life examples, I explore the observable signs of each state and what each truly needs rather than common misconceptions.
You’ll learn how to stop guessing and start recognising these states confidently by asking one simple but powerful question: “Is the energy moving OUT or IN?” This episode provides practical parenting support for strengthening the mother-daughter relationship by helping you respond with insight, not frustration.
If you’ve been exhausted by misreading your daughter’s signals and want to improve your connection, this episode offers valuable tools to better understand adolescent behaviour and support your daughter’s mental wellbeing.
