Puberty is tough. Too bad there isn’t a manual for it…well, now there is! 

Dr. Melisa Holmes, board certified Ob-Gyn and Dr. Trish Hutchison, board certified pediatrician, are the co-founders of the leading digital health platform, Girlology. Combined, these two women have more than 4+ decades of clinical experience and have dedicated themselves to educating mothers, caregivers and young girls on puberty, adolescent development, sexual health and wellness, and parenting.

On this week’s episode, Melisa and Trish share their insights on how and when to talk to our daughters about puberty. They set the record straight on some of the biggest misconceptions and myths about females hitting puberty and what happens at a first GYN appointment. 

Whether it be developing breasts, dealing with new odors, or acne on the skin, Melisa and Trish share how to approach these common topics in a way that helps your child without embarrassment (for them or for you). They even share their most recommended bra shopping tips (something many women don’t know until they’re adults). In this conversation, Melisa and Trish explore how parents can respect their daughter's needs for privacy while also monitoring their development.

If you ever thought  “I wish someone would have explained this to me when I was young,” take a listen to this episode.  It will leave you feeling empowered with the right things to say during an awkward conversation.
