What happens when the daughter you love more than anything starts slipping away?
When every conversation turns into a fight, when she locks herself in her room - not just physically, but emotionally?
When you’re walking on eggshells, afraid that one wrong word will push her further?
I know that feeling. Because I’ve lived it.
I’ve stood outside her door, heart pounding, not knowing if she was okay. Not knowing if I should walk away or try again. Not knowing if I was failing her.
But here’s what I need you to hear: You are not failing.
We’re told teen girls are just “moody.” That it’s just hormones. That it’s just how they are. But what if that’s not true?
What if her anger, her shutdowns, her spirals - aren’t bad behaviour, but biology?
What if her emotions aren’t attitude, but signals - messages from her body, screaming to be heard?
The day I stopped asking, What’s wrong with her? and started asking, What else is at play? - everything changed.
That shift saved my daughter’s life. And it saved mine too.
If you’ve ever felt helpless, exhausted, or so f*cking alone in motherhood, this episode is for you.
Listen now and join the movement: WTF (What’s The Feeling?) - because it’s time to stop just surviving and start truly understanding.
