Coaching Motherhood: Conversations For Our Daughters12: The Art of Decoding: Can You Help Her Read Her Body? When exam pressure becomes physical - that weight on the chest, the knot in the stomach, the tension in the shoulders - logic and willpower alone won't shift it. In this episode, we explore what happens when your daughter's nervous system perceives threat, why telling her to "try harder" actually makes things worse, and the four powerful mini conversations you can have this week to help her move through pressure rather than staying stuck in it. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why the nervous system speaks in sensations, not words - and what that means for supporting your...
2026-02-0516 minCoaching Motherhood: Conversations For Our Daughters11: When Exam Advice Goes Wrong - and the 4 Key Revision Styles You Need to Know Traditional exam advice can often assume all students are naturally organised and respond well to structure and pressure. That describes about 25% of students. And even for them, 'work harder, push through' often accelerates them towards burnout rather than success. If your capable daughter is struggling with revision despite following all the school's advice, this episode explains why. The standard guidance — detailed timetables, 45-minute study blocks, remove distractions, push through — was designed with one type of nervous system in mind. But when that advice lands on a different type of brain, it creates exactly the pressure that...
2026-01-2912 minCoaching Motherhood: Conversations For Our Daughters10: When Bright Girls Underperform: What We Can Miss About Exam Stress"Exam anxiety isn't a motivation problem. It's a nervous system problem. And once you understand that, everything about how you support her changes." If you have a daughter facing major exams, you've likely already seen anxiety showing up — and with girls, it often hits earlier and harder. But exam pressure is fundamentally different from everyday teenage stress, and what works for friendship drama often backfires during exam season. In this episode, I explain what makes exam anxiety unique, introduce the three distinct patterns it takes in teenage girls, and share what your daughter actually needs fr...
2026-01-2210 minCoaching Motherhood: Conversations For Our Daughters09: Is She Overwhelmed—Or Just Avoiding? How to Tell the Difference"When you understand the difference between overwhelm and avoidance, you stop guessing—and start responding with exactly what she needs." One of the hardest questions we face as mothers of teenagers is knowing what our daughters need in the moment: Do they need us to step in, or step back? Push gently, or pull right back? In this episode, I share what anxiety actually looks like in teenage girls—both the loud, visible kind and the quiet, easily-missed kind—and give you a practical framework for knowing whether your daughter is genuinely overwhelmed (and needs you to pull back) or avo...
2026-01-1514 minCoaching Motherhood: Conversations For Our Daughters08: One Goal-Setting Shift That Helps You Both Feel Motivated (More Than Pressured)The first week of January brings a unique kind of pressure—the expectation to set ambitious goals, to feel motivated, to transform. But what if that pressure isn't motivation at all, but comparison disguised as inspiration? In this episode, I share what happened when my family and I tried the TCUP framework over Christmas, then explore why intention-setting (rather than goal-setting) might be the kinder, more sustainable path forward—for both you and your teenage daughter. You'll learn a practical 5-step Sophrology-based practice for setting intentions that honour where you actually are, not where you think you shou...

By the time Christmas arrives, you're already exhausted. During our research with 21 mothers of teenagers, Christmas came up again and again as the most challenging time of year. One mother said: "The only reason I haven't tried a calmer approach is general exhaustion. When you're not as exhausted, you're not as...

What your daughter wants most this holiday isn't more activities or a full agenda. After years of asking teenage girls this exact question, their answer surprised me every single time. The Swiss Boarding School Discovery Each year as term ended, I asked: "What are you most looking forward to over the holidays?" These were students from some of the wealthiest families in the world—with access to luxury holidays and amazing experiences. But their answer was always the same: "Do nothing. Be at home. Just relax." What they were craving wasn't excitement but pr...

The Moment That Changed Everything Just before bedtime one winter evening in the boarding house, I'd led a group of girls through a visualisation exercise—helping them see themselves confident and ready for upcoming exams. As they filed out, one girl stayed behind. "Miss," she said quietly, "I could only see it going wrong. I couldn't see the good version where it all goes well." That moment stopped me in my tracks. This teenage gi...

The Moment Everything Changed A few years ago, Kate was working as Housemistress at a UK boarding school—teaching, leading wellbeing sessions, supporting 50 teenage girls, all while running on adrenaline and caffeine. She was teaching stress management whilst barely keeping up herself. After burnout forced her to step back, she returned and did something different. Instead of broadcasting capability, she sat with her girls and showed them he...

You can see exactly what she needs to do. So you offer clear, kind advice that would absolutely work—if only she'd follow it. She nods. Says "okay." But something in her voice tells you she has no intention of doing what you've suggested. And a week later, nothing has changed. If this sounds painfully familiar, you're not alone. The parenting approach that worked beautifully when she was younger simply doesn't land anymore. In this episode, I share what I...

Same wall. Sound familiar? In this episode, I share why that invisible barrier goes up the moment you ask questions—and the simple neuroscience-backed shift that changes everything. Before you can coach, calm, or create anything new with your daughter, you must first connect. And connection isn't about words—it's about presence. Discover the 10-second pause that signals safety, why the teenage brain reads questions as interrogation, and the practical tool you can use this week to invite real conversation. This...
