Ever wondered why your daughter goes from excited… to overwhelmed… to melting down all in the span of 2 milliseconds?

Why she suddenly can’t cope with noise, people, plans, or even the Christmas tree lights?

It’s not attitude.

It’s not drama.

And it’s definitely not bad behaviour.

Christmas is one giant overstimulation cocktail - noise, crowds, expectations, late nights, comparison, pressure to “be happy,” and zero downtime.

Your daughter’s nervous system is basically running a marathon in a snow globe.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • Why festive seasons hit girls so hard
  • What’s really behind the meltdowns, tears, snappiness and shutdowns
  • How overstimulation, masking, and emotional pressure collide
  • What YOU can do to stay grounded (even when everyone else is losing it)
  • Real-life tools to help her regulate without lecturing, snapping, or shutting down yourself

Because Christmas chaos doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum.

It just means you’re a human mum, raising a human daughter, in a very intense season.

Listen in and let’s take some of that pressure off - for both of you.

And if you want deeper support through the messy, emotional, hormonal, “I-don’t-know-what-she-needs-now” moments… come join us inside WTF - What’s The Feeling.

It’s the safe, zero-judgement space for mums going through the same shizz as you.

Because remember, it’s physiology before psychology. Always.
