ABOUT THE BOOK
For generations, mothers have been left without the tools, the words, and the confidence to guide their daughters through puberty and menarche with the honor it deserves.Period of Change is the book that rewrites the script—not just for our daughters, but for ourselves. This is not just a practical guide to puberty and periods. It is a call to reclaim what is our birthright: an understanding of our bodies and the framework for seeing the power and wisdom of our cyclical nature.
Period of Change is a guide for mothers who are ready to challenge the shame-based narratives they inherited and create a new legacy for the next generation—one rooted in cycle literacy, self-trust, and body sovereignty, one conversation at a time.
WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK
Publishing Period of Change is the culmination of my work with girls and their mothers for the past fifteen years—of listening to the many questions and concerns that mothers and caregivers ask on a consistent basis. Women regularly reach out to me, seeking support and guidance as their daughters, or the daughters of friends and sisters, experience the powerful rite of passage of their first period (menarche) . . . needing not just facts and answers, but a steady hand to hold. Period of Change is my loving offering to mothers and caregivers: a trusted resource, and compassionate companion for this stage of their parenting journey.
