Ep. 24 — Rant: Why Every Tween Should Learn to Cycle Chart (Before Ever Touching an App)
Ever feel like you think you know enough about your daughter’s cycle… until you realize there’s a whole world no one taught us?
In this (slightly sassy) rant episode, I’m stepping up onto my soapbox to share the one thing I wish every single woman and girl on this planet would do: learn to cycle chart before they ever download a period tracking app.
Yep. Before the app, before the fancy gadgets, before the digital predictions — learn your own body first.
Cycle charting isn’t just about tracking dates on a calendar. It’s about learning to read and understand your body’s unique signs and patterns — cervical fluid, temperature shifts, and other incredible biomarkers. It’s the ultimate tool I use to help women and girls understand their bodies, support their fertility, optimize their fitness, and especially navigate puberty with confidence and clarity.
Here's the power in today's episode:
💡 What cycle charting actually is (and why it’s so powerful)
🚫 What cycle charting is not (hint: it’s not outsourcing your power to an app!)
🔥 Why I believe every t(w)een should learn this skill before ever touching technology
✨ 14 benefits of cycle charting that will light a fire under you to start today (and teach your daughter, too!)
Some highlights you don't want to miss:
* Know if (and when) she actually ovulated — instead of guessing.
* Predict her period accurately — no more surprise attacks.
* Use it as her monthly health report card — spotting imbalances early.
* Gain real words and language to communicate what’s happening in her body.
* Advocate for herself with confidence at the doctor’s office.
* Understand how movement and lifestyle choices impact her cycle.
* Support her emotional and mental health (and skip unnecessary misdiagnoses).
* Prepare her for every season of womanhood — from puberty to perimenopause.
And more!
This is the episode that will make you want to shout from the rooftops: “Why didn’t anyone teach me this sooner?!”
