Finding Connection Through Self-Care

February 11, 20253 min read

You’re probably no stranger to juggling endless tasks—balancing family schedules, providing emotional support, and handling daily responsibilities. It's easy to feel like you're constantly giving to everyone else, while your own needs take a backseat.

You’re probably great at taking care of everyone else’s needs—your teen’s latest project deadline, that forgotten dentist appointment, or the emotional support needed for their latest social drama.

You’re great at managing everyone else’s well-being, but when was the last time you paused to check in with yourself?

Here’s where it gets interesting. Taking a puberty class with your teen might just be the best self-care decision you’ve made in a while.

I mean, imagine this: learning about puberty, connecting with your teen on a deeper level, and doing it all in a way that doesn’t involve scrolling through your phone looking for answers. Instead, you’re creating space to have open, honest conversations.

This is the kind of self-care that fills both of your cups.

Here’s how prioritizing a puberty class benefits you both:

🐝 You’re investing in a meaningful connection during a time when your teen’s world is changing rapidly.

🐝 You’re showing them that their health and well-being matter—something we could all use a reminder of!

🐝 You’re making space away from the daily grind, giving both of you a breather from the chaos.

🐝 You’re modeling that it’s okay to take time for important life conversations—and that it’s not selfish to care for yourself.

And let me tell you, the ripple effects are powerful. When you carve out this time with your teen:

⭐ They’ll see that their journey through puberty matters—and that they’re not alone.

⭐ You’ll get a fresh understanding of what’s going on in their world, so you can show up as the supportive, understanding parent they need.

⭐ Trust builds. This becomes the foundation for even deeper conversations down the road.

⭐ You’ll go from “doing mode” to “being present mode,” which is exactly the kind of connection that sticks.

⭐ You’ll show them that self-care doesn’t stop with you—it’s a part of everyone’s journey.

True selflessness comes from a place of fullness, not depletion. Like the airplane oxygen mask instruction: secure your own before helping others. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is grow together.

Here’s what one parent had to say: “Thank you so much for yesterday’s session. I loved meeting and getting to know you. Your superpower is teaching puberty - all the facts, science, and best practices all wrapped in a comfortable and safe bubble, which my daughter and I will spark many conversations out of. Thank you for the knowledge and humor. We are so lucky to have found you. Sincerely, Jenny”
