Puberty was awkward, chaotic, and full of change. But it was also the start of something new - a season of growth, and like all seasons, it had its time. But here's the thing, no season lasts forever. It's time to let go because God is calling us into a new season, one where we can grow even more. Let's embrace this next chapter!

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a naturopathic physician who blends her passion for skincare and holistic wellness. From her early days in makeup artistry to becoming a holistic skin advocate, Dr. Natalya shares her journey of overcoming body dysmorphia and discovering the power of embracing every stage of life. She believes that when women feel confident in their skin, they can positively impact the world—and her approach to skincare reflects that connection between mind, body, and soul. Together, we explore the science and spirit of aging, from DNA repair and stress management to the brain-skin connection that links mood, digestion, and hormones. Dr. Natalya highlights how lifestyle choices—like quality sleep, a nourishing diet, and emotional healing—support radiant skin through life transitions such as pregnancy and menopause. This episode also introduces a three-part course to help women navigate self-image, aesthetic decisions, and the biology of aging.

Tech, social media, and the law intersect in ever-evolving and highly confusing ways. Rules vary from state-to-state, without any consistent age gate. This leaves minors – and the adults who care about them – unclear about what is and isn't legal. On topics like child pornography, sexting, sextortion, and revenge porn, Kaitlin Andrews, family lawyer and educator from the Schools Consent Project, offers guidance on where the law is clear, where we're still looking for clarity, and what to do while the ground shifts under our feet.

We're stepping into a topic that every mama of daughters will eventually face—puberty. How do we approach it with honesty, hope, and wisdom? In this episode, we're joined by Megan Ziegenfus, former middle school teacher and creator of a popular mother-daughter puberty course, to talk about navigating the changes of adolescence with grace. From spotting the first signs of development to offering our girls a vision of their bodies as beautifully designed, Megan shares how moms can prepare their daughters—and themselves—for this season. ✨ Topics Covered in This Episode: ✔️ The very first signs of puberty in girls (and what to look for) ✔️ How to talk about breast buds, body hair, and early changes positively ✔️ When and how to start the conversation about periods ✔️ Why “drip drip drip” conversations are more effective than one big “talk” ✔️ Common things moms forget to explain (like cervical fluid and discharge) ✔️ How nutrition—minerals, protein, and breakfast—supports healthy cycles ✔️ Reframing cravings and chocolate before periods through a nutrient lens ✔️ The connection between digestion, hormones, and menstrual health ✔️ Making puberty talks special, memorable, and rooted in love ✔️ Why early education on fertility awareness matters for teens
Vanessa Kroll Bennett is one half of the So Awkward brand and co-author (with pediatrician Cara Natterson) of the hit book "This is So Awkward" that's making puberty conversations a little less cringey and a lot more human. In this laugh-out-loud, deeply relatable conversation, we toss out the stiff lectures and lean into humor, personal stories, and the messy truth—because puberty isn't just something our kids go through. Their changes stir up our own memories of middle school awkwardness, body confusion, and the tender places we still carry.Together, we unpack:How humor can melt the awkwardness out of puberty talksWhy sibling relationships shape how we understand and talk about bodiesThe surprising ways personal history impacts how we teach our kidsHow technology changes the timing and feel of pubertyWhy early puberty is on the rise—and what that means for parentingThe importance of treating kids by their actual age, not their appearanceHow to build trust that survives eye-rolls and slammed doorsWhy making mistakes is not just okay—it's essentialHow listening to your child opens the door to connectionBy the end, you might just see puberty—yours and theirs—not as an awkward stage to survive, but as an ongoing, surprisingly sacred conversation that maybe, is so unavoidable because it's essential. And, you'll just love Vanessa and her wit and warmth.

The skin erupts with surprises across the tween and teen years… and it's not all acne! Stretchmarks happen when bodies grow out or up quickly. Keloids are 3-D scars. Ingrown hairs aren't permanent like the other two, but they still present their own challenges and stressors. We dig into what causes each of these skin challenges and what (if anything) can be done about them. Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

It's simultaneously wonderful and worrying to launch a kid. The most common denominator question is a version of this: Are they going to be ok when they leave us? We hope – and wonder – if we've taught them enough to be out in the world. Christina Geist spent her oldest child's senior year of high school compiling those life lessons in Before You Fly Away. Her musings are as heartfelt as they are practical, whether you have a child who is about to fly the nest, one who flew away long ago, or one so young you can hardly imagine that stage of life.

Puberty starts earlier, social media is everywhere, and the rise in adolescent mental health challenges is real. It's hard to be a teenager in 2025. The way we parent and teach our teens is shaped by the myths we inherit, what we did when we were teenagers and the science of brain development says Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Matt Richtel. His new book draws on research and personal stories, offering insights into what drives teen behavior and the rising mental health crisis. Spoiler alert: it's not just the phones. The book is called How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence. He spoke to Jesse.
It can be really hard to gauge what tweens + teens actually know about the biggest ticket topics. That's because, in this age of information, they are pummeled with “facts” about sex, drugs, alcohol, nutrition, wellness, and so much more. It can seem like they have encyclopedic knowledge sometimes… until you get past the confident tone and actually listen to what they are saying. This episode will make you feel less alone (you are not the only one who has been dumbfounded by an adolescent!) and help you help them sort fact from fiction.

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this solo episode, I'm diving into a topic that hits close to home—how to support your tweens and teens as they navigate the wild ride of puberty. As a mom of five, I'm no stranger to mood swings, hormonal shifts, and dinner table meltdowns. This episode was inspired by a recent conversation with my kids that reminded me just how intense and important this phase can be for both kids and parents.In this episode, I share:What's actually going on in the brain during pubertyPractical tools to help balance hormones and moodsThe role of nutrition, blood sugar, and gut healthMy favorite simple remedies (hello, Epsom salt baths!)How to use love languages to reconnect with your childWhy xenoestrogens might be making things worse—and how to avoid themThe “downstairs brain” vs. “upstairs brain” and why emotional safety mattersIf you're raising a tween or teen (or are about to), this episode will give you insight, support, and some of my go-to holistic strategies to help your family ride the puberty wave with more confidence and connection.
In this Season 1 re-release: Our own puberty stories are seared into our brains and the temptation is to share those experiences, the good and the bad, with the kids in our lives. Except, kids need to have their own puberty journeys without carrying our puberty baggage on their shoulders. Adults need to find their own trusted adults with whom to share these memories and Cara and Vanessa do just that in this episode.

It's another summer sister catch-up on Hey Sis, Eat This! While Whitney was jet-setting off to a women's Summit in South Carolina and picking up peaches from The Peach Truck in Fort Worth, Courtney's been deep in furniture shopping for her new house and driving the 'Beshert Bus' aka kid carpool. Whitney spills the sweet tea about her recent trip to The Room's 3rd Annual Women's Leadership Summit, including Momma Ashley's famous Pinch of Texas brownies in the gift bags, a hilarious tip from Susie Sarich (of SusieCakes) about eating in Japan, and the new trending name for menopause that had the sisters ROFL...Cougar Puberty! She shares takeaways from interviews she had with badass women marketers like the influence of our mommas and the brand slogans that stuck with us from childhood to which Courtney breaks out in one of Daddy Ashley's jingles from the 80's for Church's Chicken. Courtney takes a moment to praise former guest Caroline D'Amore who bravely opened up to the sisters about her face to face encounter with Jeffrey Epstein. With all the recent news of the case, they chat about Caroline's advocacy for women, the ongoing fight for justice, and why it's so crucial for women to let their voices be heard. Courtney tries to sign off, but Whitney gets in one last word that sums up the vibe: welcome to Peach Girl Summer. What you'll hear: What we've been cookin', who we've been entertainin', and any kitchen conundrums of the week... often in our Momma's Texas accent Chatting with siblings about what it was like around their dinner table growing up, favorite family recipes and stories that celebrate moms Interviews with celebrity chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary entrepreneurs about the influence and inspiration from their moms Weekly recipes from us and our guests posted out the Hey Sis, Eat This website - Website: https://www.heysiseatthis.com - Recipes from our Us and Our Guests: https://www.heysiseatthis.com/our-recipes - Call into the Hey Sis Hotline: 1-866-4 HEY SIS or 1-866-443-9747 - Email: hello@heysiseatthis.com - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heysiseatthis/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heysiseatthis - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heysiseatthis

Parents know better, right? Maybe. While we may have brains mature enough to anticipate what's coming down the road 5, 10, 20 years from now (and the lived experiences to back it up), we can't force our kids to care about the things we deem important. This power struggle occurs throughout the tween + teen years, on everything from minor issues like wearing deodorant to major tensions like grades or substance use. How can we adults learn to manage our own feelings while simultaneously finding ways to inspire our kids? This hilarious and personal episode is packed with that advice.

Do you know what a bone age is? If you've ever found yourself spiraling over early puberty headlines or wondering if plastic cups and lavender lotion are harming your child's hormones this episode is for you. I'm joined by Dr. Sarah Hart Unger, a pediatric endocrinologist, mom of three, and co-host of the Best of Both Worlds and Best Laid Plans podcasts. Together, we cut through the confusion and misinformation around early puberty, endocrine disruptors, and what's actually backed by science. We dive into: What early puberty actually looks like including what's normal vs. concerning, the difference between true puberty and adrenal changes, and when to seek evaluation. Real vs. rumored causes like the roles of body fat, genetics, and endocrine disruptors like BPA and lavender without spiraling into fear or guilt. When medical treatment is needed, when reassurance is enough, and why chasing puberty “delays” can sometimes do more harm than good.

Setting boundaries takes practice: kids need to learn this skill and most adults need to evolve it. Practically speaking, boundary-setting starts with drawing lines on our kids' behalf. In doing so, we show (more than tell) what is (and isn't!) okay for strangers, family, and friends to do and say — from comments about body changes or clothing choices to judgments about life paths. The trick is to set boundaries while still encouraging connection, because we want kids to learn about limits without walling themselves off.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss both healthy eating and clinically recognized eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. I explain how brain circuits, hormones such as leptin and reward systems interact to regulate appetite, satiety and overall eating behaviors. I also discuss the serious health risks associated with anorexia, explain how disrupted eating habits contribute to its development and highlight evidence-based treatments for anorexia. Finally, I explore binge eating and bulimia, discussing the underlying causes and the pharmacological treatments commonly used to support recovery. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Top Ten from 2024: #4 Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn *DISCLAIMER* This episode is intended for adults. **Transcription of original episode** 224. Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn Deuteronomy 29:29a (NKJV) "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us" Questions and Topics We Cover: Are there any specific questions you recommend we ask our spouse periodically? Will you elaborate on your finding that "men and women tend to have different insecurities that the process of sex can help heal or hurt"? You write "Having a comfortable way to signal (and receive) openness or interest will create connection and prevent much pain." So, how can couples begin to develop their own private language or signals to communicate effectively in a healthy manner? Thank You to Our Sponsor: The Sue Neihouser Team Shaunti Feldhahn received her graduate degree from Harvard University and was an analyst on Wall Street before unexpectedly becoming a social researcher, best-selling author, and popular speaker. Today, Shaunti applies her analytical skills to investigate eye-opening, life-changing truths about relationships, both at home and in the workplace. Her groundbreaking research-based books, such as For Women Only, The Kindness Challenge, and Thriving in Love & Money, have sold more than 3 million copies in 25 languages. Her books and studies are popular in homes, counseling centers, and corporations worldwide. Shaunti (often with her husband, Jeff) has spoken around the world, sharing her findings with audiences ranging from churches to women's and marriage conferences to arena events to youth camps and cruises (yes, those are particularly painful…). Her research and commentary are regularly featured in media as diverse as The Today Show, Focus on the Family, The New York Times and MomLife Today. Shaunti, Jeff, and their two children live in Atlanta and enjoy every minute of living life at warp speed.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Over the last 10 years, there's been an exponential growth in the number of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria.“Gender affirming care” prescribes puberty blockers to keep children from developing naturally. Doctors often claim puberty blockers merely “pause” physical development—suggesting children can “un-pause” the process and resume puberty at will.Nothing could be further from the truth.Psychiatric nurse, Dave Wayne, joins us to continue our series about commonly prescribed medications which may have detrimental side effects.We discuss the realities of puberty blockers, including:• the fact they're used to chemically castrate sex offenders in Europe• the irreversible physical damage they cause• the resulting cognitive impairmentThe research is clear—puberty blockers cause irreparable harm to children's emotional, physical, and cognitive development.It's high time we adults start protecting children, as opposed to “affirming” their delusions.Citationshttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.14.25327614v1https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/17/johanna-olson-kennedy-doctor-won-release-transgend/Sponsor:The Wellness CompanyWebsite: https://www.twc.health/lovelifeCode: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!David WayneWebsite: https://www.describe.healthInstagram: @david.wayne.rnDr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson
Puberty is starting earlier—and for many parents, it's arriving before they or their kids feel ready. In this episode, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, author of The Crucial Years: Early Interventions in Education and Childcare, to unpack why puberty today looks so different for our kids than it did for us—and what caregivers can do to support them through it.Together, they explore the emotional and physical shifts that are arriving sooner than expected, the impact of today's culture on tweens, and practical tools for navigating this new stage with connection, clarity, and compassion.Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: https://bit.ly/4fSxbzkFollow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterFor a full transcript of the episode, go to goodinside.com/podcast.Today's episode is brought to you by Skylight Calendar.

There's knowing your body parts and then there's body literacy. It turns out, both are key to health and safety. If knowing your body parts is like having a map, being body literate is like being able to read a compass. We're joined by Konika Ray Wong, a health educator and author of body books for kids down to age 4. She covers concepts like interoception and attunement (yes, big words!), central concepts for people who want to understand their body's cues.

Story at-a-glance Gender dysphoria diagnoses among youth have tripled since 2017, with many adolescents now fast-tracked into medical treatments based on self-identification rather than long-term psychological evaluation The HHS 2025 review found most gender-affirming care research weak. There is no strong evidence that puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones improve mental health or reduce suicide risk Puberty blockers disrupt natural development, leading to weakened bones, impaired height, reduced fertility, and possible cognitive and emotional effects during a vital window of brain maturation Cross-sex hormones cause irreversible changes, including cardiovascular strain, reproductive organ damage, sexual dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances far beyond normal ranges, especially when used in adolescence Parents can protect their children from this agenda by affirming biological reality early, asking hard questions about the treatments involved in gender-affirming care, and demanding transparency from health care providers

The fine line between informing and oversharing is tricky to navigate, especially when it comes to topics like puberty, sex, and drugs. On the one hand, kids need information; on the other, we must take into account things like personality, communication style, and desire for privacy, not to mention set boundaries according to their developmental stage. So when does sharing information cross over into too much information? This episode has the answer and so much more. Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.
