I WANT TO SHARE THIS AWESOME NEW PUBERTY BOOK WITH YOU.
Let’s get down about puberty.
What if your daughter actually um… liked puberty?
Crazy concept!
What if she felt informed, supported, and celebrated — and puberty was a wonderful experience? Certainly a bizarre idea for our mainstream culture. But totally what we know is possible here at Mothering & Daughtering.
Are you looking for more resources to support your girl?
Especially resources that are authentic, vibrantly diverse, and intersectional?
Look no further than this beautiful new book : “Celebrate Your Body (and Its Changes, Too!): The Ultimate Puberty Book for Girls.” And today I’ve got one of the co-authors, Sonya, on the show with me!
Sonya is an award-winning Performance Poet, an activist, and a transformational leader. She founded and runs a digital media and education company that you can find at thebodyisnotanapology.com. Oh, and she’s also the author of two others books, including “The Body is Not an Apology: The Radical Power of Self-Love.” She is a leader for us all: promoting radical self-love and body empowerment as the foundational tool for social justice and global transformation.
And she’s coming to support our beautiful girls. Blessed be.
This ultimate puberty book for your girl covers everything from her biological changes, to her shifting moods, to how to stay safe on social media. Mamas, this book, and this woman, is the real deal.

What could the radical power of self-love change in your life?
— because collective wisdom rocks,
and we want to hear your take.
We need each other, mama.
Love,
Sil
P.S. Forward this video to a mama who needs another resource for puberty. Because sharing is caring, and everyone could use a stronger bond.
Great conversation! I want to share something I wrote back in 2014. I was reminded of it when Sonya read her poem about her mother’s belly. Back then, I had a blog where I wrote about mothering my daughter, among other things – my readers were all either related to me or members of my church, LOL. So, one day, I wrote about my my “squishy” belly and my daughter’s reaction to it. So much of what I wrote was in Sonya’s poem! Haven’t written in a long time as life got too busy. So rereading about my own experience back then brought back some great memories and reminded me of some important things I need to remember, now that my daughter is going through puberty (she wasn’t, yet, at the time). Thanks for this series! I always get so much out of these interviews.

I loved the bringing together of radical self-love and social justice! It felt to me like a union of mind and body that inspired me on all levels. I’m reminded to model radical self-love for my 16 year old daughter, as well as for my 21 year old son, so they can both see the possibility of it!
