Don’t be so sensitive.”
“It’s just banter.”
“That’s just how boys are.”
Sound familiar? These aren’t harmless comments — they’re signals your daughter may be learning to ignore just to stay safe.
In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening when girls experience everyday disrespect — whether that’s unwanted comments, online messages, or boundary-pushing behaviour that’s brushed off as normal.
You’ll learn:
- What’s going on in your daughter’s nervous system when she feels unsafe or disrespected
- Why she might laugh it off, stay silent, or shut down — and why that’s not weakness
- How to support her in regulating her body before expecting her to speak up
- Simple, science-backed tools to help her respond with confidence
Plus, I’ll walk you through one powerful 4-minute practice that helps build connection without needing a heavy “talk.”
This one might bring up emotion — anger, guilt, even old memories — but it’s too important to avoid. Let’s start changing the story for our girls.
