Ep. 34- Tween Body Hair: When to Talk, What to Say, and How to Support Her

Is your tween starting to notice body hair — or asking when she can shave? In this episode, I share how to talk about body hair with confidence, what’s normal in puberty, and how to guide her choices without the awkwardness.Body hair is one of those puberty topics that sneaks up on us as moms. One day our girls are carefree, and the next… they’re noticing underarm fuzz, leg stubble, or even upper lip hair — and wondering what to do about it.If you’ve ever caught yourself asking things like:➡️ When should I bring this up?➡️ How do I explain why some women shave and others don’t?➡️ What if she wants to start now — what do I even show her?➡️ Is her hair growth normal for her age?…then this episode was made for you.Here’s the power in today’s episode:You’ll walk away with confidence to normalize body hair for your tween, answer her (sometimes awkward!) questions with ease, and guide her choices in a way that builds self-confidence instead of self-consciousness.Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about body hair — it’s about how our girls see their bodies, and how our response as moms sets the tone for years to come.So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dive into a conversation that will leave you feeling empowered and ready for this next stage of her growing-up journey.RECOMMENDED EPISODES:⁠⁠⁠Ep. 3- The Truth About Puberty- Ages, Stages, & Your Role as Mom⁠⁠⁠Ep. 17-Skincare, Sephora, & Tweens, Oh My!
