A Summer Chat with My Daughter: Wrapping Up 6th Grade & Looking Ahead | Ep. 65

<p>Today’s episode is a little different—and one of my favorites.</p><p>Aria just wrapped up 6th grade, and I wanted to capture this moment before life keeps moving. We sat down for a fun, honest conversation about middle school, growing up, puberty, what’s surprised her most, and the things she’s looking forward to as she heads into 7th grade.</p><p>We also ended with a rapid-fire round that had us both laughing.</p><p>If you’ve ever wondered what puberty and middle school look like through the eyes of an actual tween, I think you’re going to love this conversation.</p><p>Here’s the power in today’s episode:</p><ul><li>Why it’s worth slowing down to hear what’s really going on in your daughter’s world.</li><li>A few honest reflections from the end of 6th grade—the highs, the challenges, and the surprises.</li><li>What growing in confidence can look like during the middle school years.</li><li>Simple reminders about puberty and the menstrual cycle from a girl’s perspective.</li></ul><ul><li>Plenty of laughter, personality, and a rapid-fire round that reminds us not to take life too seriously.</li></ul><p>Whether your daughter is still in elementary school or already navigating middle school, my hope is that this episode encourages you to keep creating space for conversations that matter... even if they’re imperfect, silly, or completely unexpected.</p><p>Thanks for listening, friend. If this episode makes you smile, share it with another girl mom who could use a little encouragement today.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ARIA’S FAVORITE WORSHIP SONG</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/52EyE9zdn4eA4eYuJXO6nF?si=luaep_z2TUyDzgsmkssqxA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>The Lord is With Me by Red Rocks Worship</strong></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>EMPOWERED RESOURCES</p><p>Free Empowered Puberty Checklist for Girl Moms | <a href="https://www.empoweredwomb.com/EmpoweredPubertyChecklist" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></p><p><br /></p><p>Puberty Support Coaching | <a href="https://www.empoweredwomb.com/puberty-support" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>HERE</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></p><p><br /></p><p>Empowered Cycle Charting for Her- $27 | <a href="https://www.empoweredwomb.com/EmpoweredCycleChartingForHer" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>HERE</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Literally Magazine | <a href="https://www.frletstalk.com/magazine" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong>!</strong></p><p>*Apply the code ADRIANE10 to get 10% off her yearly subscription!</p><p><br /></p><p>Period Kit from Red Drop | <a href="https://reddropinc.refr.cc/Affiliates/u/adrianecook?s=sp&amp;t=cp" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>CONNECT WITH ADRIANE</p><p>Instagram | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/empoweredpubertypodcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@empoweredpubertypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/empowered_womb/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>@empowered_womb</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Website | <a href="https://www.empoweredwomb.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EmpoweredWomb.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></p><p>Email | adriane@empoweredwomb.com</p><p><br /></p><p>CONNECT WITH THE SALTY EXPERIENCE</p><p>Instagram | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_salty_experience?igsh=NHI1dzE3dH
