## Resource

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Dr. Tara Berner to discuss the importance of educating young women about their biology: their cycles, their hormonal health, and their anatomy. They emphasize the need for parents to have these conversations with their children and encourage seeing the discussion of these topics as a series of conversations, not just as "the talk." Together, they discuss why technology cannot replace the role of a trusted adult and also highlight the significance of understanding how hormonal changes affect a woman's mental health. At the end of this episode, they suggest resources for parents to navigate these topics with their children. Other highlights from this episode: How understanding female anatomy is empowering for women and those that love them. That teaching women to track their cycles can enhance awareness of overall health and well-being. That nutrition and lifestyle choices significantly impact hormonal health. The value of parents actively engaging in discussions about health with their children. The power of technology and how to approach the digital world with young children. The value of normalizing conversations about our bodies.
