Fear of the future is eating our girls alive. It hides behind slammed doors, endless scrolling, half-finished work, and the shrug that says, “I don’t care.” But underneath procrastination and perfectionism is the same raw truth: she’s terrified of failing, of disappointing, of not being enough or of letting you down.
In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, I unpack why procrastination and perfectionism go hand in hand - especially in the shadow of any kind of results. You’ll hear:
I share a story about my daughter who refused to start on, let alone hand in assignments and how a tiny shift helped her rebuild courage and momentum.
This episode is for you if you’re tired of saying “Just get on with it” and ready to understand what’s really going on.
Because your daughter doesn’t need you to fix the future - she needs you to help her feel safe enough to take the first step today.
Want to talk it through? Book a free chat - sometimes just saying it out loud is the first step.
