Balancing the whirlwind of perimenopause and parenting teens can feel like a daunting challenge. Our guest today, Jessica Donovan, a naturopath and creator of Natural Super Kids, is here to guide us all as we navigate these often choppy waters. Jessica brings her expert knowledge to the table and opens up about her experiences, offering valuable tips on how to maintain our own well-being while caring for our growing teenagers during what is a transitional phase for them and us!

Perimenopause and raising teens are two life stages that can be rather overwhelming individually, let alone when happening at the same time, under one roof! But the key to managing both gracefully and effectively is prioritizing self-care and fostering open communication. Jessica stresses the importance of setting boundaries with our teens, particularly when it comes to their diet and nutrition, without stifling their natural inclination to explore and experiment. Whether it’s dealing with your son’s eating habits during his mountain biking outings or your daughter's snack choices at school, Jessica's insights are sure to provide plenty of food for thought.

Through this enlightening conversation, we discuss available resources, strategies for creating a nourishing home environment, and maintaining healthy relationships with our teens. It's not always an easy ride, but with the right tools and mindset, we can turn the chaos of perimenopause and parenting teens into a calm and rewarding journey. So, tune in and join us in this insightful conversation with Jessica Donovan.
