    How to Understand and Track Your Cycle (and Teach Your Daughter) | Ep. 55
    Feb 16 2026
    Okay, real talk.Cycle charting is one of my favorite things to talk about. Like… I light up. I could go on forever. And sometimes? That’s the problem.When you live and breathe something the way I do, you can accidentally skip over the very questions most moms are quietly wondering.That’s why this conversation meant so much to me.Kaase Levell, podcast host of FR Let’s Talk and founder of Literally Magazine, invited me onto her podcast for this conversation. She asked if she could interview me about cycle charting… and after we recorded, she generously gave me permission to share the episode here with you.And I’m so glad she did.She did something incredibly humble and brave:She admitted she didn’t fully understand this stuff.And then she asked the questions so many moms are thinking but don’t always say out loud.This episode is a little different than how I normally teach. It’s curious. It’s honest. It’s foundational. And it might just shift the way you see your body (and your daughter’s!) forever.And yes… this is a great one to listen to WITH your tween or teen!⸻Here’s the power in today’s episode:​ Why your cycle is so much more than just your period​How your body actually communicates with you every single day ​ What cycle charting actually is (and what it’s not)​ The simple health signs your body uses to talk with you​ How it's different from a period app​ How to approach these conversations with your daughter without awkwardness or shame​ Why understanding your cycle builds confidence — not confusionThis conversation will help you move from “I think I know what that means…” to “Ohhh. That makes so much sense.”And if you’ve ever felt intimidated by terms like basal body temperature or wondered whether this is too complicated to learn — this episode is for you.Kaase brings such a refreshing perspective as a mom who simply wants to understand and steward her daughters well. I’m so grateful for her heart, her podcast (FR Let’s Talk), and her beautiful passion project, Literally Magazine.Be sure to check out all her info in the links below.Friend, your body isn’t fighting against you. It’s trying to get your attention!Listen in to learn more than you ever thought possible.

  • The Missing Piece to Feeling Fit, Strong & Confident for Girl Moms | Ep. 54

    The Missing Piece to Feeling Fit, Strong & Confident for Girl Moms | Ep. 54
    Feb 2 2026


    If you’ve ever felt like body confidence is almost within reach... but somehow always slips away — this episode is for you.


    Today’s conversation is honest, practical, and deeply freeing. We’re talking about why so many women keep starting over with their health and fitness… and the one missing piece that almost no one in the fitness industry is talking about.


    This isn’t about another plan, more discipline, or doing everything “right.”

    It’s about what actually creates lasting change, especially in the busy, real-life season of motherhood.


    Here’s the power in today’s episode:

    • Why wanting to feel fit, strong, energized, and confident is not selfish and doesn’t need to be justified

    • The subtle mindset trap that keeps so many moms stuck in the cycle of starting over

    • Why perfection is NOT the path to body confidence (and what works instead)

    • The shift that allows real progress to happen (even in short, imperfect windows of time)

    • How the way you relate to your body quietly shapes the story your daughter is learning about hers


    If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through health goals…

    If confidence feels conditional or circumstantial…

    Or if you want to model something better for the girls watching you...


    This episode will meet you right where you are and invite you into something different.


    Listen in, and when you’re ready, check the below for details on how to take your next best step with the Finally Unstuck Experience.

    Your Body Is Not Broken: Rewriting the Story for You and Your Daughter | Ep. 53
    Jan 26 2026
    Have you ever carried that quiet, nagging belief that something about your body is… wrong?Maybe it shows up when your energy dips. When your jeans fit differently. When your cycle feels inconvenient. When your emotions feel “too much.”And maybe (without even realizing it) that belief is shaping the way your daughter learns to see her body, too.In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the powerful shift that changed everything for me: releasing the lie that my body was broken and learning to trust the design I was given. This conversation is about more than hormones, cycles, or health. It’s about identity. It’s about the story we carry in our bones and the one our daughters are watching us live.This episode is an invitation.An invitation to stop fighting your body. To stop seeing it as the enemy.To begin rewriting the narrative—for yourself and for the girl who’s learning from you every day.You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to pause… and consider a new story.Because when a mom changes the way she sees her body, a daughter gets a brand new future.Your Next Best StepThis community doesn’t just listen, we MOVE. We take intentional action in the direction of growth, healing, and raising empowered girls.As you reflect on today’s episode, ask yourself:* What is my history with my body?* What story am I currently telling myself about it?* And what might my daughter be learning from the way I speak about and treat myself?Your next step doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be intentional.And if you’re ready to stop letting this be a “someday” shift—and you know it’s time to change this narrative once and for all—I created something just for you…The Finally Unstuck ExperienceThis five-day event is for the woman who knows her healthiest, strongest, most confident self is ahead of her, but doesn’t want to get there by fighting her body or forcing perfection.It’s for the woman who’s ready to:* Break free from the beliefs that have kept her stuck* Work with her design instead of against it* And finally move forward with clarity, grace, and confidenceYou’ll receive guided prompts, daily coaching, and live group calls with me, so you’re not doing this alone.It begins February 3rd, and you can learn more HERE.No matter where you are in your journey, never forget this:You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. You don’t have to have it all figured out to be doing something holy.Because if you’re here, if you’re asking these questions…You ARE an empowered mom, raising an empowered girl. 💛THE FINALLY UNSTUCK EXPERIENCE- Learn more HERE!EMPOWERED RESOURCESFree Empowered Puberty Checklist for Girl Moms- Grab it ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Empowered Cycle Charting for Her- Check It Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Period Kit- Check out RedDrop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Literally Magazine- Learn more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!*Apply the code ADRIANE10 to get 10% off her yearly subscription!RELATED EPISODES⁠The Body Image Conversation Moms Avoid: What I’m Teaching My Girls | Ep. 52CONNECT WITH ADRIANEInstagram- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@empoweredpubertypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@empowered_womb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EmpoweredWomb.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email- adriane@empoweredwomb.comHOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCEFollow/Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast playerRate the podcastReview the podcastShare this podcast episode with a friend!
