Bloomers, Boobs & Bodies: Coming of Age in All Its Awkward Glory

This episode is all about that wild ride known as coming of age. We dig into the physical changes, the unspoken questions, and the things that were forgotten to be mentioned.

Here’s what we explore:

• Our first memories of starting our periods

• What we were (and weren’t) told about our changing bodies

• How shame, silence, or support shaped those experiences

• Bras, pads, and navigating early body image

• Why creating open, shame-free conversations matters now

• How to show up for young people going through these transitions today

This conversation is about more than just puberty. It’s about how we understand and relate to our bodies, how that connection forms early on, and how we can make sure the next generation doesn’t feel alone in it.

If you’re a parent, a grandparent, an auntie, or someone who simply remembers feeling uncertain during those early changes, this episode is for you.
