Puberty can feel overwhelming for both moms and daughters, but what if you had a step-by-step guide to make the transition empowering and stress-free? In this episode, we dive into puberty education with Megan Ziegenfus, a former middle school teacher and creator of Body Talk Basics, a holistic program designed to help moms teach their daughters about puberty with confidence.

We explore why traditional puberty education falls short, the essential topics moms should cover (but often miss), and practical strategies for fostering open, shame-free conversations about periods, body changes and self-care. Megan shares how nutrition, lifestyle and even light exposure can impact early puberty as well as what moms can do to support a smoother transition.

Plus, you’ll discover how to create a mother-daughter connection that lasts beyond puberty, including a unique "hidden journal" technique to encourage open communication. Whether your daughter is approaching puberty or already navigating these changes, this episode gives you the tools to guide her with clarity, confidence and care. Don't miss this powerful conversation. Your daughter and future generations will thank you!
