It's a rare luxury to have both my girls available for half an hour to record an episode, and when I do I love to talk about listeners questions. Poor Amelia had a really bad cold, but she was still keen to help, so sorry about the sniffles.

This time we talked about:

Puberty and Body Changes

• Helping girls navigate early stages of puberty
• Discussing body changes with daughters
• Approaches to talking about wearing first bras

Toxic Friendships

• Defining what makes a friendship toxic
• Recognizing unhealthy friendship dynamics
• Setting boundaries and knowing when to end a friendship
• Importance of self-worth in friendship.

"Pick Me" Girls

• Origin and meaning of the term
• Different interpretations of "pick me" behavior
• Internalized misogyny
• How the term is used to criticize or police women's behavior

Gender Dynamics

• Male gaze and body shaming
• Societal expectations for girls and boys
• Pressures to conform to certain behaviors
• Importance of being authentic

If you have any other questions for my girls don't feel shy about messaging us.
