I always thought questions about periods and hormones and "lady things" would be handled by me, the mom! But when I brought my husband into the conversation, I was amazed by his perspective and advice to our teen son about girls and periods. He has also been super helpful in supporting conversations about menopause too. Charles Elerick joins Kim as the special guest for this show to share the dad perspective on these topics!
