Whistle.

I can't for the life of me. No tongue twisting or fingers in my mouth help at all.

My girlfriend can whistle, but only the one note. I can't figure out how to explain to her how to change note.

My mom is kind of like this. She can change the note, but only a semitone or so in either direction.

I know some people have some success with whispering the letter Q or the word cue / queue very slowly while breathing out.

This advice is brilliant!

Practice in front of a mirror and keep your face muscles relaxed.
