⭐️ Some Good News: Perimenopause Power + Summer Camps

Girl Power Science News

Happy Full Moon from Girl Power Science 🌕

I have some great news to balance out all of the nauseating news out there.

Our “Perimenopause Power” parent education event at Lick-Wilmerding High School was a huge success! I had the honor of being part of an incredible panel of experts. What made it extra special is that we’re all moms who originally met years ago at The Hamlin School for Girls, when I taught their daughters back in the day.

Our powerhouse panel included:
✨ Dr. Kim Garfinkel, OB/GYN
✨ T Dyer and Carrie Kostiner, co-founders of UPELLE​
✨ And me

We met multiple times to plan the presentation (each meeting well over two hours!), and the response was incredible. 145 parents registered and submitted over 30 thoughtful questions, which fell into three main categories:

• What to expect: ages, stages, and signs of perimenopause
• Lifestyle recommendations
• Hormone replacement therapy

Our talk focused on these three areas, and the gratitude made it very clear: this information is empowering, necessary, and long overdue.

Here’s what parents had to say:

“Wow, this has been fantastic. Thank you for the huge amount of work you put into this. So thoughtful, concise, and you’re all obviously fabulous!”
“Thank you so much for this presentation. It has been incredibly helpful—rich with facts and so compassionately put across.”

✨ Introducing: Perimenopause Power Workshops ✨

I’m so excited to now offer this content to you in two upcoming workshops, led by me, and informed by the expert collaboration and insights from our original panel.

Happy Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! 🌕✨ Did you miss me? I fully immersed myself in the joy of running an amazing four weeks of Girl Power Science summer camp. On the very last day of camp, my body decided it had had enough. I suddenly felt a sharp, excruciating abdominal pain and ended up in the hospital. I don’t know what was scarier, the actual pain or the fact that I had no health insurance due to a computer system error. 😳 Those of you who follow me on Instagram, @girlpowerscience, know all...

Happy Blue Micromoon, Summer is almost here, and this can be the perfect time to fit in those important conversations that help your daughter feel safe, informed, and supported. We still have plenty of space in our upcoming “Media Mindset: Healthy Digital Habits” workshop on June 6. If your daughter would benefit from a small group, supportive, discussion-based environment, this is a wonderful opportunity. Registration also includes access to my most popular parent workshop, “Parenting in the...

Happy New Moon, The most common questions I get from parents are: “When should I talk to my daughter about puberty?” and “When should I talk to her about the birds and the bees?” I’m seeing more and more second and third graders at our workshops, which makes sense because the average age for the onset of puberty in girls is 8, and some girls begin as early as age 6. I’ve been a puberty educator for two decades, and in the past, parents often asked if third grade was too young. These days, I...
