The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

Like most women, I can struggle with self-doubt and question my own choices. But deep down inside I typically know what I really want to do. Deep inside all of us is the wisdom to know who we really are, that fully alive, fully radiant, fully wild self that is the key to our own happiness and success. And the more we tap into that wild side, our true inner nature, and let it out, the happier we'll be.

Every so often we read a book that touches us so deeply, so profoundly, that we find ourselves telling everyone we know that they MUST read this book. This is exactly what happened when I read The Woman They Could Not Silence, a mesmerizing story of a woman in the 1800's whose husband had her unjustly committed to a mental institution, her heartbreaking struggles, and her amazing triumphs.

When I was a little girl, I, like most young girls, was sorely lacking a clear understanding of my own body, how it worked, what changes I could expect it to undergo, and so much more. I learned some things about puberty in school, from friends, from my older sister… but I wish I had had a really clear guide that laid it all out. Fast forward to 2022, and I learn that a dear friend of mine from my childhood wrote a book about puberty for pre-teen and teen girls, exactly what I needed, and her book was banned in Florida! Dr. Lisa Klein joins us to discuss: Starting the conversation about puberty with your children when they are young, piece by piece like building blocks. You shouldn't have "the talk" once and be done with it. Ways to talk with your child about puberty and sex without making it uncomfortable for you or them. Answers to some questions your girls might ask that you might not be prepared for. Navigating social media and porn with your child. Teaching puberty to both pre-teens, teens and parents to help create an open conversation between parents and kids so they will feel comfortable asking questions about their body as they get older. Finding out that her book was banned in some parts of Florida, and having her op-ed published in one of the biggest media outlets in the world.
