How to Understand and Track Your Cycle (and Teach Your Daughter) | Ep. 55

Okay, real talk.Cycle charting is one of my favorite things to talk about. Like… I light up. I could go on forever. And sometimes? That’s the problem.When you live and breathe something the way I do, you can accidentally skip over the very questions most moms are quietly wondering.That’s why this conversation meant so much to me.Kaase Levell, podcast host of FR Let’s Talk and founder of Literally Magazine, invited me onto her podcast for this conversation. She asked if she could interview me about cycle charting… and after we recorded, she generously gave me permission to share the episode here with you.And I’m so glad she did.She did something incredibly humble and brave:She admitted she didn’t fully understand this stuff.And then she asked the questions so many moms are thinking but don’t always say out loud.This episode is a little different than how I normally teach. It’s curious. It’s honest. It’s foundational. And it might just shift the way you see your body (and your daughter’s!) forever.And yes… this is a great one to listen to WITH your tween or teen!⸻Here’s the power in today’s episode:​ Why your cycle is so much more than just your period​How your body actually communicates with you every single day ​ What cycle charting actually is (and what it’s not)​ The simple health signs your body uses to talk with you​ How it's different from a period app​ How to approach these conversations with your daughter without awkwardness or shame​ Why understanding your cycle builds confidence — not confusionThis conversation will help you move from “I think I know what that means…” to “Ohhh. That makes so much sense.”And if you’ve ever felt intimidated by terms like basal body temperature or wondered whether this is too complicated to learn — this episode is for you.Kaase brings such a refreshing perspective as a mom who simply wants to understand and steward her daughters well. I’m so grateful for her heart, her podcast (FR Let’s Talk), and her beautiful passion project, Literally Magazine.Be sure to check out all her info in the links below.Friend, your body isn’t fighting against you.
