🎙 Ep. 33: Is This Normal? Puberty Questions Every Tween Girl (and Her Mom) Asks

At some point, every girl (and her mom) wonders: Is this normal?

Mood swings that come out of nowhere. Friendships that shift overnight. Bodies that suddenly don’t look or feel the same. It can all feel like uncharted territory — and sometimes, it’s hard to know if you should reassure her… or step in.

Here’s the power in today’s episode:

I’m breaking down the most common “is this normal?” questions tween and teen girls face, and giving you a clear framework for how to handle them. You’ll walk away knowing:

What’s a natural part of puberty (and nothing to stress about)
When it’s wise to lean in and take action
How to stay connected with your daughter through all of it

This isn’t about overreacting or brushing things off — it’s about giving your girl the steady reassurance and guidance she needs while reminding yourself that you’ve got this.

So if you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing what’s “normal” in this stage, grab your earbuds — this one’s for you.
