EP 95: OMG! Do just hearing the words hormones and puberty make you cringe? I know, me too! And my kids are 17 and 19. How about taking a midlife woman with her own raging hormones and mix it with her teens’ hormones, that’s called full hormone stew. Do you want to hear all the latest research nuggets on puberty mixed with real life stories from two puberty experts who also happen to be midlife moms too? Want to hear about the “new puberty” ? Why does puberty with our kids feel different from the puberty we remember? And, how has social media changed puberty and our parenting? Have you heard about the term “midlife “second puberty”, perimenopause/menopause?
Do you ever feel like you said something to your teen that maybe you shouldn’t have? Me too! These two teen and puberty experts tell us how to do a “parenting do over”. We chat about empty nesting and keeping your connection with your kid while they are away at college. We don’t have to be real stalkers. LOL! This episode is the perfect stew…cutting edge research nuggets on brain science & why it matters and real life stories and examples from the front lines of working with teens and parents.
This is a don’t miss episode!
