Periods, puberty and the cyclical nature of being a woman - these are conversations many of us didn't grow up having. No shame-free chats, no honoring of what our bodies were doing, just a textbook at school and maybe a book from mum if you were lucky. In this episode, Emmy sits down with Anna Maria - naturopath, herbalist doula, and mum to four girls - for a deeply honest conversation about raising daughters who understand their bodies, their cycles and their power. From menarche (the first period) to the monthly rhythm of hormones, energy and cravings - they unpack what nobody tells you about the foundations of women's health. They talk about the shame so many of us carry from our own first period, how that ripples into how we parent and why changing the narrative starts with us. They dive into the cyclical nature of the menstrual cycle - the rise and fall of energy, the need for rest, the cravings that aren't weakness but wisdom and why honouring that rhythm changes everything. They also explore how to talk to your daughter (and sons) about periods without awkwardness, why leaving the bathroom door open matters and how small shifts in language can build pride instead of shame. This is a grounding, empowering conversation for anyone raising girls, navigating their own cycle, or ready to heal the parts of themselves that were never honoured.
