Periods, Pain & Power: How to Help Your Daughter Thrive

from Teen Whisperer | Parenting Teen Girls · host Rach Friedli

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re talking periods, body changes, and helping your daughter feel at home in her own skin. While heavy bleeding, pain, and mood shifts can feel overwhelming, many of the struggles girls face around their cycles are a response to societal shame, lack of understanding, and the world being set up for men, not a problem with them. I break down the 28-day cycle and what each phase really means in everyday life. I also share why understanding her cycle is just as much about her physiology as it is her psychology, and how we can support her in a world that often ignores what she’s going through. I offer practical tools for mums and girls from breathwork and gentle movement to sleep, nutrition, and cycle tracking so she feel calmer, more in control, and connected to her body instead of battling it. Because there’s nothing wrong, her body is doing exactly what it should be and helping her understand that is the first step to thriving through every stage of her cycle. Here's a tracker for you to use If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called Connect the Dots. It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter. You can grab it for free here.
