Period positivity begins with open, informed conversations—especially as girls and young women head into a new school year and a new stage of life. For many, getting a first period marks a transition from childhood to adolescence, a moment that can feel both exciting and awkward. In this episode, Dr. Charis Chambers—an OB-GYN with fellowship training in pediatric and adolescent gynecology and founder of The Period Doctor platform—discusses how mothers and caregivers can foster dialogue with girls and young women that can build confidence and strengthen bonds. And how early education around menstruation can lead to lasting comfort and understanding across all stages of a woman’s life.
