What if your daughter could enter puberty with confidence?

Now she can.


BODY TALK BASICS:

Conversations About Puberty for Moms & Daughters

is for moms who want:


  • their daughter to truly understand what’s happening during puberty and the menstrual cycle
  • to be involved in their daughter’s body education
  • to have a space for sharing their own thoughts on growing up
  • to give their daughter the time to ask questions she’s been holding back


Learn.

This course features video content for you and your daughter to watch together. Sections cover everything from breast development to the menstrual cycle in an approachable way. You might learn something new too!

Connect.

Included throughout the course are “Mom Share” moments, where you can talk about your own experience with different aspects of growing up, as well as “Turn and Talk” discussion prompts for topics like deodorant, bras, and period products.

Respond.

Education is only half the story. With reflection questions and activities throughout, Body Talk Basics prepares your daughter to implement what she learns.

What moms are saying...


"My daughter and I completed the course last week! SO bittersweet! We both wanted to immediately start it all over 😅 What will Monday nights be without Body Talk Basics + Haagen Dazs?! 😂 But truly Megan, this course was one of the greatest gifts we’ve ever received. I’m so grateful for the conversations it helped to facilitate, the connection it brought, & the memories we made together. I know this was just the beginning of a weekly rhythm we both needed more than we knew 💛 There’s so much more I want to say, but the words just aren’t there right now. I feel like I’m still processing what a beautiful experience it all was 🥰💗 Beyond grateful…"


“I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this course. It's not that I am not comfortable communicating all of these things with my daughter, but the reality is how would I without a course like this to guide our time together? It is wonderful to sit beside her while she learns for the first time, and I am reminded again of the amazing design of our female bodies--most of which was never taught to me, but I had to seek out on my own, and not until I was in my later twenties. Oh, to know this earlier! Can't recommend enough!!”

Hello, I'm Megan!


After getting my period as a middle schooler, it took me nearly ten years to learn that a menstrual cycle has multiple phases, that my hormones can be influenced by what I put in and on my body, and that period pain is not normal. 


The more I learned about the female body, the more amazed I became at its incredible design. At the same time, the more I learned, the more frustrated I became that this kind of knowledge is so rarely taught to women, and even less so to young girls.


Creating the Body Talk Basics course is my way of passing on what I’ve learned about the female body to the next generation. I hope you and your daughter find this information as empowering and exciting as I do!

Frequently Asked Questions


What age girl is this class for?

I designed the course with girls aged 9-14 in mind, but the content could be helpful for girls who are slightly younger or older than that, too! You might find that the first few modules (introducing puberty, breast development, and body hair/odor) are appropriate for your daughter now, while the period/menstrual cycle section would be better suited for her in a year or two. After purchasing the course, feel free to watch sections ahead of time and determine which content your daughter is ready for! You’ll have lifetime access to the course, so it will be there when your daughter needs it.


What if my daughter has already started her period?

Even if your daughter has already started her period, this course can help explain the elements of puberty she has already gone through, and equip her to better understand and support her body’s menstrual cycle. The “Period Peace” section of the course is by far the longest and most in-depth section. I wanted to include as much useful information as I could, some of which might be even more helpful for your daughter after she’s started her period so she has more context and experience.


Do you talk about sex and birth control?

I do not cover sexuality or sex beyond mentioning that pregnancy occurs when an egg is fertilized by a sperm.

Because of the number of girls that are prescribed hormonal birth control for non-contraceptive reasons, I do briefly cover hormonal birth control and encourage everyone to do thorough research before using.


What if I don't agree with how you talk about _____?

If you want to frame a topic differently or skip sections altogether until your daughter is ready for it - please do so. You know your daughter best! If you have any questions about how I address specific topics, please feel free to reach out.


Do I need to have a laptop or computer to watch the course?

You will need access to a computer, laptop, or tablet to log into and play the video content. Technically, you could still access the videos with a phone, but I’d recommend a larger screen for the best experience of the text and graphics that appear in the videos.
