Teen Whisperer Podcast: Girls Mental Health & Behaviour
by Rach Friedli - Girls Mental Health & Behaviour Specialist
This is THE podcast for mums of 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 and big emotions, this is the podcast for you. Discover what’s really going on so you can stop second guessing, feel confident again and improve your mother/daughter relationship with your daughter. Too often we're told it's "just" hormones, emotions or that they're too sensitive. But what if I told you there's something else at play? Something no one talks about - the body sending messages through behaviour. These are natural responses to an unnatural world, and when you understand them, you can start responding with insight not frustration. Shocked, inspired, eyes wide open - that's what I want for you. To realise that so much of what we've been told about parenting is a lie, wrapped up in control, pressure and guilt.

Understanding Teen Girls’ Hormonal Intelligence | A Game Changing Framework
Send us Fan MailThis week we’re starting with a game changing truth: your daughter is literally a different person every single week. As women, we run on a 28 day cycle, not a 24hr one. In this episode I reveal why every strategy you’ve tried (the calm voice, the books) has felt hit-or-miss and show you how to read her hormonal signals as “information”, not problems to fix. Her phone use, mood swings and door slamming aren’t behaviour issues, they’re signals from the body. Learn the physiology behind her shifts so you can parent with confidence, not guilt.
