I talk about the moment I realized my daughter was growing up and how her curiosity about feminine products nudged me toward preparing for the period conversation. I share stories from my own childhood, the experience of raising an only child, and why I wanted my daughter to feel prepared instead of confused. You’ll also hear real comments from other moms and the heart behind The Period Book Ice-Breaker Mom and Daughter Series.
In this episode, we talk about:
• How to ease into the period conversation without awkwardness
• Why early, gentle conversations matter
• The story behind creating The Period Book
• Encouragement for moms raising daughters in the pre‑teen years
• A special one‑time giveaway of nine signed copies
Giveaway details:
The first nine listeners who reach out with the message “The Period Book for me” and share what they enjoy about the podcast will receive a free signed copy. You can contact me through the email in the podcast description, Buzzsprout fan mail, or YouTube comments.
This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone, we’re figuring this out together, one honest conversation at a time.
