Episode 32: When to Have the Period Talk With Your Daughter

Every mom wrestles with the timing of the talk.

Too soon feels like you might steal her innocence.

Too late feels like you’ve already missed it.

So… when is the right time to talk to your daughter about her period?

In today’s episode of Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms, I’m breaking down the tension and giving you the clarity you’ve been craving. You’ll hear why this doesn’t have to be one big, awkward “sit-down,” and how to approach the conversation in a way that feels natural, safe, and confidence-building—for both of you.

👉 Here’s the power in today’s episode:

• ​The #1 mindset shift that takes the pressure off “the big talk”
• ​How to recognize the cues that your daughter is ready (or almost ready)
• ​Why starting early actually protects innocence rather than ruining it
• ​Real-life examples of how these conversations can progress naturally

Whether your daughter is 7, 10, or already had her first period, it’s never too late to start. And you don’t have to do it perfectly—you just have to show up.
