Lessons in Motherhood, Puberty & Letting Go of Hustle Culture with Brittany Baker | Anniv. Ep. 51

This episode marks the one-year anniversary of the Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms podcast, and to celebrate, we did something a little different.My best friend Brittany Baker had the idea to turn the tables and interview me... and what unfolded was a very real, behind-the-scenes conversation that felt more like best friends talking than a formal podcast interview.For the first time, I share the exact moment in my own motherhood that inspired this podcast — a story I haven’t fully told anywhere else. From there, we talk honestly about puberty, girlhood, emotional health, burnout, friendship, food, faith, energy, and how our priorities shift as moms. (We cover a LOT!)This episode is reflective, personal, and grounded in the season of life I’m in right now. One where time feels more finite, hustle culture no longer fits, and intentional living matters more than ever.If you’re a mom navigating puberty conversations, emotional ups and downs, burnout, or redefining balance, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.⸻✨ Here’s the Power in Today’s Episode:​ The exact motherhood moment that sparked Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms​ What I wish I had known about puberty, hormones, emotions, and energy growing up​ Why understanding emotional highs and lows can change how girls see themselves​ A full-circle mom moment I’m deeply proud of​ How joy looks different in this season and what we're loving as a family​ The real conversations moms are having privately about burnout and hustle culture​ Navigating sugar, food, and control with young kids​ Learning to walk in both masculine and feminine energy​ My 2026 word of the year: Ezer — and what it means in this season​ What’s next for the podcast as I scale back and steward my time wisely⸻We also close the episode by turning the mic back to Brittany, where she shares what’s next for her as a newborn and postpartum photographer and postpartum doula, her heart for serving moms, and how she’s learning to pursue meaningful work without burning out.This episode is honest, grounding, and a reminder that you’re allowed to grow, shift, and choose a different pace, especially in motherhood.🎧 Press play and celebrate one year of Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms!EMPOWERED RESOURCESFree Empowered Puberty Checklist for Girl Moms- Grab it ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Empowered Cycle Charting for Her- Check It Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Period Kit- Check out RedDrop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Literally Magazine (for girls ages 11-16)- Check out the deets ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!*Apply the code ADRIANE10 to get 10% off her yearly subscription!RELATED EPISODESEp. 14- How to Help Your Daughter Enjoy a Healthy Relationship with Food with Brittany BraswellEp. 22- Moody or Misunderstood?
