"Boys Have Pee-Pees...Girls Bleed!?" From Accidental Discovery at 5, To Intentional Talks on Teen Hormones

Tara Khaleesi at only 5, in one single day, learned that "boys have different parts than girls, and girls bleed from their parts!?"Lucky Mom, who got to explain both to her 5 year old, all on the same day! What started as a completely accidental discovery turned into a much more intentional conversation... And honestly, we are glad it did.In this episode, Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi dive into teen hormones, periods, PMS, mood swings, and that moment most every girl has where she thinks: "What is wrong with me?"Here is the truth: "Nothing is wrong with you!"Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi break it all down in a way that actually makes sense, without making it awkward or clinical, including the four phases of women's cycle they named themselves:The Red Phase (Period) = Day 1-5The Let's Go Phase (After Period) = Day 6-13The Superwoman Phase (Ovulation) = Day 14-17The Stay Away From Me Phase (PMS) = Day 18-28They also talk about why your mood, energy and confidence can change from week to week, why you can feel hormonal even if your periods have not started yet, and how to recognize what's happening instead of fighting yourself or with others during certain phases. And for a little balance, Tom, Zeynep's husband and Tara Khaleesi's dad, joins the conversation to bring in the male perspective... Because let's be honest, we need this too. This is a part one of a two part series. Next up: perimenopause and that is a whole different level...Click Here to Send Us a TextSupport the showSTAY CONNECTED:Instagram:@betweenus_unfilteredTikTok: @betweenus_unfilteredYouTube: @betweenus_unfilteredFacebook: @betweenusmdunfilteredLinkedIn: @betwenusunfiltered
