Is your tween starting to notice body hair — or asking when she can shave? In this episode, I share how to talk about body hair with confidence, what’s normal in puberty, and how to guide her choices without the awkwardness.Body hair is one of those puberty topics that sneaks up on us as moms. One day our girls are carefree, and the next… they’re noticing underarm fuzz, leg stubble, or even upper lip hair — and wondering what to do about it.If you’ve ever caught yourself asking things like:➡️ When should I bring this up?➡️ How do I explain why some women shave and others don’t?➡️ What if she wants to start now — what do I even show her?➡️ Is her hair growth normal for her age?…then this episode was made for you.Here’s the power in today’s episode:You’ll walk away with confidence to normalize body hair for your tween, answer her (sometimes awkward!) questions with ease, and guide her choices in a way that builds self-confidence instead of self-consciousness.Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about body hair — it’s about how our girls see their bodies, and how our response as moms sets the tone for years to come.So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dive into a conversation that will leave you feeling empowered and ready for this next stage of her growing-up journey.RECOMMENDED EPISODES:Ep. 3- The Truth About Puberty- Ages, Stages, & Your Role as MomEp. 17-Skincare, Sephora, & Tweens, Oh My!

Ep. 25 — What’s in My Cart: Hormone-Friendly Products I’m Actually Buying for My TweenEver feel like you need to toss every product in your house and start from scratch? Been there.When I first started learning about toxins hiding in our food and products, I wanted to light everything on fire and start completely over. Turns out… that’s not exactly realistic (or affordable).The truth is, so many hidden ingredients — called endocrine disruptors — directly mess with our girls’ developing hormones, leading to all kinds of issues we don’t want them dealing with.You’ve probably heard me and my friend Becky Glaze break this down in Episode 17 (go listen if you haven’t yet!).

Ep. 24 — Rant: Why Every Tween Should Learn to Cycle Chart (Before Ever Touching an App)Ever feel like you think you know enough about your daughter’s cycle… until you realize there’s a whole world no one taught us?In this (slightly sassy) rant episode, I’m stepping up onto my soapbox to share the one thing I wish every single woman and girl on this planet would do: learn to cycle chart before they ever download a period tracking app.Yep. Before the app, before the fancy gadgets, before the digital predictions — learn your own body first.Cycle charting isn’t just about tracking dates on a calendar. It’s about learning to read and understand your body’s unique signs and patterns — cervical fluid, temperature shifts, and other incredible biomarkers. It’s the ultimate tool I use to help women and girls understand their bodies, support their fertility, optimize their fitness, and especially navigate puberty with confidence and clarity.Here's the power in today's episode:💡 What cycle charting actually is (and why it’s so powerful)🚫 What cycle charting is not (hint: it’s not outsourcing your power to an app!)🔥 Why I believe every t(w)een should learn this skill before ever touching technology✨ 14 benefits of cycle charting that will light a fire under you to start today (and teach your daughter, too!)Some highlights you don't want to miss:* Know if (and when) she actually ovulated — instead of guessing.* Predict her period accurately — no more surprise attacks.* Use it as her monthly health report card — spotting imbalances early.* Gain real words and language to communicate what’s happening in her body.* Advocate for herself with confidence at the doctor’s office.* Understand how movement and lifestyle choices impact her cycle.* Support her emotional and mental health (and skip unnecessary misdiagnoses).* Prepare her for every season of womanhood — from puberty to perimenopause.And more!This is the episode that will make you want to shout from the rooftops: “Why didn’t anyone teach me this sooner?!”💥 Your Next Best Step:✔️ Start observing today — just notice and get curious.✔️ Teach your daughter one simple piece (like cervical fluid or cycle phases).✔️ Or, grab my course Empowered Cycle Charting for Her — it’s only $27 and designed for moms and daughters to learn together (but trust me, it’s a game-changer for women of any age).Teaching your daughter to chart her cycle is a practical and tangible way you can BE an empowered mom raising an empowered girl!EMPOWERED RESOURCESFree Empowered Puberty Checklist for Girl Moms- Grab it HERE!Empowered Cycle Charting for Her- Check It Out HERE!Period Kit- Check out RedDrop HERE!Cyclical Strength Training Program- Learn More HERE!Ep. 16- Behind the Curtain with Pediatric Therapist Brittanie Apke- Listen HERE!CONNECT WITH ADRIANEInstagram- @empoweredpubertypodcastInstagram- @empowered_wombWebsite- EmpoweredWomb.comEmail- adriane@empoweredwomb.comHOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCEFOLLOW the podcast on your favorite podcast playerRATE the podcastREVIEW the podcastSHARE this podcast episode with a friend!
Ep. 23- Letting Go of Control: A Real-Time Story of Raising Confident GirlsIn this off-the-cuff, recorded-from-the-car episode, I’m bringing you right into a real-time moment of motherhood: waiting outside while my daughter attends her first youth conference—and trying not to be a helicopter parent. 😅This episode is all about the tension we feel as moms—between wanting to protect our girls and knowing we need to give them freedom to grow.Here’s the power in today’s episode: Why letting go of control is one of the hardest (but most powerful) things we can do as momsHow confidence is built through experiences, not just encouragementWhy giving our girls proof that they can handle hard or new things sets them up for the long haulA few personal stories (yes, including one about Aria buying cat food with my credit card) that reminded me how these little moments matterIf you’ve ever sat in your car, debating how much freedom to give your girl—you’re not alone.
