In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s hitting so many of our daughters hard: the invisible weight of self-pressure, perfectionism, and fear of failure. If your teen has ever seemed overwhelmed, frustrated, or withdrawn, this one’s for you.

We’ll unpack how these challenges show up in her feelings, behaviours, and emotions - and why they’re more than just “teen drama.” From what’s going on in her brain, body, and heart to the impact of societal pressures, I’ll help you understand the deeper “why” behind her struggles.

Plus, I’ll share three practical tools you can use to help her right now - focusing on motivation, breath-work, and the power of sleep. These strategies aren’t just effective, they’re simple enough to try today.

And if you’re looking for more support, I’ve got you covered with resources like the Mum2Mum Connection for moms, the Glow Group for teen girls, and my guide, Raising Confident Girls in a Digital World.

Let’s work together to help your daughter thrive - not just survive.

Tune in now, and let’s be proactive, not reactive!
