Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms

So today I’m opening up about something I’ve historically kept pretty private: my own journey with my body.

Not because it’s easy to talk about.
Not because I’ve done it perfectly.

But because I’m raising daughters.

And the longer I’m a mom—and the more women I walk alongside—the more I realize just how powerful our example really is. Not just what we say about our bodies… but how we treat them.

This episode is honest, personal, and rooted in one conviction I’ve formed after years in the fitness industry and years in motherhood:

Our girls are always watching.

And the way we live in our bodies is teaching them how to live in theirs.

⸻

Here’s the power in today’s episode:
• You’ll hear why the body image conversation we avoid as moms is often the one our daughters need most
• I share the two core truths I want my girls to know about their bodies
• We talk about how female design, faith, and physiology intersect
• You’ll be challenged to rethink what beauty actually is and where it really comes from
• And you’ll be invited to consider what kind of example you’re setting, without shame or pressure

This episode is for the mom who wants to:
• Raise a daughter who feels at peace in her body
• Stop passing down quiet body battles
• Be intentional without being extreme
• And model a relationship with her body that’s rooted in wisdom, not war

I also share about a new experience I’ve created for women who are tired of starting over and ready to feel confident without bending to society’s expectations. It’s called the Finally Unstuck Experience, and you can find more information on it below.

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen. This is one of those conversations that’s meant to continue- between you and me, and between you and your daughter.

And before you go, choose your next best step.
Maybe it’s starting this conversation at home.
Maybe it’s having it with God.
Or maybe it’s finally saying, I’m ready for something different, and joining the Finally Unstuck Experience.

Listen in if you’re ready to be intentional about the body image conversation- one that can change the way the next generation of girls learns to live in their bodies.

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.

Early puberty is everywhere on social media right now, and honestly? It’s got me a little riled up. A lot of what’s being shared is confusing at best, and fear-based, shaming, or flat-out inaccurate at worst. And moms are left trying to sort through it all while wondering what it means for THEIR daughter.

In this milestone Episode 50 of the Empowered Puberty for Girl Moms (!!!), I’m finally diving into a topic I’ve avoided for a long time. Not because it isn’t important, but because it deserves far more nuance, clarity, and sensitivity than a 10-second reel or a swipeable post can offer.

If you’ve found yourself wondering:
• Is puberty really starting earlier for girls?
• What does “early puberty” actually mean?
• Should I be worried about my daughter?
• Is there something I should (or shouldn’t) be doing?

This episode is for you.

I’m coming into this conversation with some spice and some hard truth, but also with honesty, love, and deep compassion for moms who are doing the best they can with the information they’ve been given.
---> This episode is meant to bring clarity where social media has brought chaos...without fear, without shame, and without oversimplifying something that is deeply complex.

✨ Here’s the Power in Today’s Episode:
• What “early puberty” actually means, and why the term is often misused
• The difference between early puberty and precocious puberty
• How social media amplifies fear, shasme, and misinformation around puberty
• What research really shows about puberty timing, menarche, and duration
• The biggest drivers of earlier puberty today (without panic or blame)
• What moms can realistically influence AND what we need to release
• Why there is no pause button once puberty starts
• How education, communication, and connection are your greatest tools for supporting your daughter
• Why normalizing the puberty journey builds confidence instead of fear
• How to keep puberty conversations open, ongoing, and age-appropriate

You can do everything “right” and still have a daughter who starts puberty earlier than you expected. That doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean her body is broken. Awareness is empowering and perfection is not required.

If you’re navigating or curious about early puberty and want to feel informed, grounded, and empowered instead of afraid or ashamed, this episode is for you.

If you’re anything like me, you love goals…but you’ve also learned the hard way that goals don’t magically happen just because we write them down. (Dangit)

The real change... the lasting, sustainable, life-giving change... comes from the ACTIONS we build throughout the entire year.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the exact process I use to prepare for a new year as a busy mom who does not have hours to sit with a planner and dreamy music in the background. This is simple, prayerful, intentional, and totally doable even if you’re juggling kids, work, laundry, and the million other things December throws at you.

I’ll also share how I choose my word of the year and why it helps me stay intentional throughout the year ahead.

This is your invitation to walk into 2026 with intention instead of pressure, and alignment instead of overwhelm.

⸻

✨ Here’s the power in today’s episode:
• Why “goals” alone don’t work and what actually moves the needle in a busy mom’s life
• The simple categories I use to evaluate my year (and how yours can look totally different)
• Two questions that create instant clarity for the year ahead
• A real-life example from my own goals that shows how to reverse-engineer meaningful change
• How to create action steps that really happen
• The five steps I use to choose my word of the year
• The way intention shifts your rhythms, your motherhood, and your spiritual life
• Why this entire process can be done in 30–60 minutes and can even be broken up into smaller chunks of time (#MomLife)

⸻

Listen in if you want a realistic, prayerful, and practical way to move into the new year with intention, alignment, and rhythms that actually fit your real mom life.

This episode is a heartfelt Christmas letter for the mom who’s holding a lot right now- emotionally, mentally, or quietly in her heart.

Inspired by a simple jar of Grey Poupon on my counter, I’m sharing comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that Jesus meets us in the small, ordinary moments. If you need gentleness, connection, or a deep breath this season… this letter is for you.
