The Big Emotions Bootcamp 💜 Girls & Mum | The Valley, Brisbane
Help Your Daughter Navigate Big Emotions & Life With Confidence.
Big feelings can be overwhelming — especially when you're 8.
You see it every day. The shutdown before school. The explosive outbursts over nothing. The worry that keeps her up at night and leaves you both exhausted.
Join us for a fun and interactive 70-minute Bootcamp where mums and daughters aged 7-12 learn real-time techniques to manage big emotions — using tools from the world's best child development experts.
Our VIP ticket includes our 21-Day Family Challenge and Beautiful Minds® Big Emotions Family Show so the learning continues long after you leave.
What You'll Learn Together

Learn calming techniques that actually work in tough emotional moments 😌
Discover breathing methods that settle worry and upset in under 60 seconds 🫁
Practice eye and body exercises that interrupt anxiety before it spirals 👁️
Take home skills she can use anytime, anywhere — no app required 🤸🏻
Backed By Real Science 🧠
The Big Emotions Bootcamp was developed in direct partnership with Dr. Andrew Huberman — Stanford neuroscientist and host of the world's #1 health podcast — and Ryan Soave, therapist and emotional regulation specialist.
Together, we've adapted their tools and strategies for girls aged 7–12, making complex neuroscience accessible, practical, and genuinely fun.
