Description

If you're raising a child who will menstruate someday or is currently menstruating, this one's for you! It can be scary when they start asking you questions about their bodies that you yourself didn't get many answers to when you were there age. That's why Megan created Body Talk Basics, an amazing community of women on Instagram @bodytalkbasics where she talks a lot about our bodies and how to support girls as they grow up, as well as her online course for moms and daughters to take together that is all about puberty and body development. 
We discuss:

Megan's time as a middle school teacher and what inspired her to create this online course for mothers and daughters
What she saw was lacking in terms of health education for girls in middle school
When is it appropriate to start talking to your daughter about periods?
How can we prepare and support our daughter for when she has her first bleed?
What to do if your teen is not wanting to talk to you about periods or health
Demystifying teen emotions and hormones
How to help your teen make good nutritional choices even when you're not around
