Ep. 35- Why Your Tween is Always Tired (and 5 Ways to Help Her Sleep Better)
Season 1 · Episode 35
Monday, September 22, 2025 • Duration 25:18
Sleep struggles are REAL during puberty. If your tween or teen daughter is suddenly staying up late and dragging through the day, these 5 proven strategies will help her (and you!) get better rest—without melatonin.
Remember when you could sleep until noon as a teenager? 😴 Now your tween is starting to do the same, and you’re left wondering: Is this normal, or should I step in?
The truth is, puberty throws a girl’s sleep schedule completely off track. Hormonal changes delay her natural sleep cycle, screens and school schedules work against her, and before you know it—she’s exhausted, moody, and struggling to focus.
In this episode, I’m sharing why sleep gets so tricky during puberty, plus 5 practical strategies you can start using right away to help your daughter get the deep, restful sleep her body actually needs.
Here's the power in today's episode:
The real reason her circadian rhythm is shifting later (and why she’s not just being “lazy”).
How screens, snacks, and sports are silently sabotaging her sleep.
5 proven ways to support better rest—from nutrition and sunlight exposure to creating a consistent rhythm at home.
Why melatonin isn’t always the best first choice (and safer alternatives to consider)
You’ll leave this episode feeling equipped with simple, doable steps that fit into everyday mom life—and give your daughter the gift of better sleep during this big season of growth.
👉 Your next best step: Pick just ONE strategy from this episode and start tonight. Small shifts lead to big changes!

Ep. 26 — 5 Things I’m Loving Right Now (That Help Me Show Up as a Better Tween Mom)
✨ Ever feel like the joy of being an adult gets lost in the hustle of motherhood?
I recently heard someone say that kids today aren’t that excited to grow up — because we’re not really making adulthood look all that appealing. Whether that’s true or not, it made me pause and reflect: What kind of example am I setting for my girls?
Yes, life isn’t about being happy all the time. But I truly believe that one of the ways we bring God glory is by enjoying the life and gifts He’s given us.
When I approach womanhood from this perspective, I become a better version of myself — a better wife, mom, and friend.
👉 In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 simple things that are bringing me pure joy right now — no productivity pressures, no personal growth goals — just FUN.
Here’s the power in today’s episode:
Why it matters for your tween to see you truly enjoy your life (and how that shapes her view of womanhood)
How small, personal joys can help you feel more grounded, present, and alive
A peek into what I’m loving lately — from cozy self-care to unexpected hobbies and sweet treats
💛 These aren’t big, flashy things. But they’re helping me show up with more energy, patience, and authenticity — and that’s the kind of mom I want my girls to see — so they feel excited about becoming women themselves and truly look forward to adulthood.

Ep. 25 — What’s in My Cart: Hormone-Friendly Products I’m Actually Buying for My Tween
Ever feel like you need to toss every product in your house and start from scratch? Been there.
When I first started learning about toxins hiding in our food and products, I wanted to light everything on fire and start completely over. Turns out… that’s not exactly realistic (or affordable).
The truth is, so many hidden ingredients — called endocrine disruptors — directly mess with our girls’ developing hormones, leading to all kinds of issues we don’t want them dealing with.
You’ve probably heard me and my friend Becky Glaze break this down in Episode 17 (go listen if you haven’t yet!). But today, I wanted to have a cozy, mom-to-mom chat.
What products am I actually buying for Aria?
What are we not prioritizing right now?
And what does she really use and love?
Here’s the power in today’s episode:
✔️ The personal care swaps we’re loving (from soap to toothpaste)
✔️ Our favorite safe storage and water choices
✔️ The supplements that help support her fast-changing body
✔️ What we’re not focused on (yet!) — and why that’s okay
Ep. 24 — Rant: Why Every Tween Should Learn to Cycle Chart (Before Ever Touching an App)
Season 1 · Episode 24

Ep. 24 — Rant: Why Every Tween Should Learn to Cycle Chart (Before Ever Touching an App)
Ever feel like you think you know enough about your daughter’s cycle… until you realize there’s a whole world no one taught us?
In this (slightly sassy) rant episode, I’m stepping up onto my soapbox to share the one thing I wish every single woman and girl on this planet would do: learn to cycle chart before they ever download a period tracking app.
Yep. Before the app, before the fancy gadgets, before the digital predictions — learn your own body first.
Cycle charting isn’t just about tracking dates on a calendar. It’s about learning to read and understand your body’s unique signs and patterns — cervical fluid, temperature shifts, and other incredible biomarkers. It’s the ultimate tool I use to help women and girls understand their bodies, support their fertility, optimize their fitness, and especially navigate puberty with confidence and clarity.
Here's the power in today's episode:
💡 What cycle charting actually is (and why it’s so powerful)
🚫 What cycle charting is not (hint: it’s not outsourcing your power to an app!)
🔥 Why I believe every t(w)een should learn this skill before ever touching technology
✨ 14 benefits of cycle charting that will light a fire under you to start today (and teach your daughter, too!)
Some highlights you don't want to miss:
* Know if (and when) she actually ovulated — instead of guessing.

Ep. 23- Letting Go of Control: A Real-Time Story of Raising Confident Girls
In this off-the-cuff, recorded-from-the-car episode, I’m bringing you right into a real-time moment of motherhood: waiting outside while my daughter attends her first youth conference—and trying not to be a helicopter parent. 😅
This episode is all about the tension we feel as moms—between wanting to protect our girls and knowing we need to give them freedom to grow.
Here’s the power in today’s episode:
Why letting go of control is one of the hardest (but most powerful) things we can do as moms
How confidence is built through experiences, not just encouragement
Why giving our girls proof that they can handle hard or new things sets them up for the long haul
A few personal stories (yes, including one about Aria buying cat food with my credit card) that reminded me how these little moments matter
If you’ve ever sat in your car, debating how much freedom to give your girl—you’re not alone. Hit play on this heart-to-heart for encouragement, real-life relatability, and a reminder that letting go can be the most loving thing we do.
