"You don't understand." 
"You're so controlling." 

When your daughter shuts you down, it's instinct to defend yourself, explain, or fix what's wrong. 

But here's the physiology: that response may be exactly what widens the gap. 

In this episode, we explore what happens in her body and mind when she feels unheard, and the one shift in how you respond that can rebuild the bridge between you. 

No judgment. Just tools for real connection.

If this episode helped you to feel a little more seen, understood and less alone, I'd love to welcome you into WTF - What's The Feeling - don't you know? A supportive community where mums make sense of what's really going on with their daughters, together. 

Because you shouldn’t have to figure this all out on your own.
