When You're Trying Not to Fall Apart: Supporting Girls' Mental Health and Mother-Daughter Relationships

Send us Fan Mail Apologies for the sound on this episode In this episode, I dive deeply into the challenges of supporting girls' mental health, especially for mothers working their way through the difficulties of the mother-daughter relationship during adolescent behaviour changes. We explore why your daughter's nervous system dysregulation directly affects your own and why it's not a sign of failure but biology. You'll gain insights into recognising your own dysregulation and learn practical techniques to help regulate yourself, so you can stay steady and present for your daughter. Plus, discover an anchoring sentence to return to when feeling overwhelmed and understand the importance of allowing yourself to struggle during tough parenting moments. If you're exhausted from trying to hold it all together for your daughter, this episode offers permission to be human while guiding you through ways to strengthen your mother daughter relationship through understanding and connection.
