Your daughter’s first period can arrive with a whisper or with a full-on crisis and most of us were never taught how to make that moment feel calm. We’re joined by Dana Roberts and Monica Williams, the founders of Scarlet by Red Drop, a brand rethinking menstrual health for girls with first period kits, education, and products designed for younger bodies (not scaled-down adult solutions). Dana takes us back to her fifth-grade classroom, where she became the “North Star” for students who were ...

Your sweet kid didn’t disappear. Their brain is getting a hormone upgrade with messy wiring in the middle, and it can look like mood swings, sudden tears, sarcastic comments, and big emotional outbursts aimed straight at you. We sit down with nurse practitioner Keaton Mims to make preteen hormones make sense, from what’s happening in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to why puberty hormones can collide with serotonin and dopamine in a way that throws off regulation for a while. When you un...
