It's a rare luxury to have both my girls available for half an hour to record an episode, and when I do I love to talk about listeners questions. Poor Amelia had a really bad cold, but she was still keen to help, so sorry about the sniffles.
This time we talked about:
Puberty and Body Changes
- Helping girls navigate early stages of puberty
- Discussing body changes with daughters
- Approaches to talking about wearing first bras
Toxic Friendships
- Defining what makes a friendship toxic
- Recognizing unhealthy friendship dynamics
- Setting boundaries and knowing when to end a friendship
- Importance of self-worth in friendship.
"Pick Me" Girls
- Origin and meaning of the term
- Different interpretations of "pick me" behavior
- Internalized misogyny
- How the term is used to criticize or police women's behavior
Gender Dynamics
- Male gaze and body shaming
- Societal expectations for girls and boys
- Pressures to conform to certain behaviors
- Importance of being authentic
If you have any other questions for my girls don't feel shy about messaging us.
