This blog post is a little different and I’m going to be totally transparent and let you know right now that there is a sales pitch coming. It’s not an affiliate link or anything like that, it’s for one of my own offerings.
Before we get into all that, I want to start at the beginning.
RGP’s Origin Story
Real Girl Puberty was born out of my desire to help girls have an easier transition from childhood to womanhood. My own experience sucked. I had no idea how to manage all of the changes that were going on in my body, relationships, and life. All of these changes stressed me out and led to some serious anxiety and depression issues.
Fast-forward 15 or so years and I finally figured out that my anxiety and depression issues were directly related to my puberty experience. My mind was blown! I started talking to other women and I learned that it wasn’t just me. Believe it or not, I actually thought I was the only girl that struggled with puberty! Turns out I wasn’t. Every woman I talked to had her own puberty memories and struggles.
Puberty?! Yeah, we’re going to talk about it.
After a handful of puberty-related conversations, I felt a nudge to do something. But I had no idea what. Then a simple little tagline popped into my head; Puberty?! Yeah, we’re going to talk about it. THAT was the answer. TALKING about puberty! I couldn’t believe how simple it was. Only, it wasn’t. I had never talked about puberty before. I had never even once admitted to having a period or said the word out loud. And I was in my early 30’s!
Who am I to talk about puberty?
I had no idea how I would start talking about puberty. Who would I talk to and why would they listen to me? I’m not a puberty expert or healthcare professional. Who am I to talk about this? Even though I had all of this fear and doubt, the idea wouldn’t go away and the nudge wouldn’t stop nudging. It was like I was being followed by a stray puppy. It was a nice idea, in theory, but not a smart one. Without any official qualifications, taking on this topic felt like an impossible mission. But then I saw 8 little words that changed my mind and changed my life.
Be who you needed when you were younger
As I was mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest, I saw a pin that stopped me in my scroll. It wasn’t flashy or fancy or really anything special, but the quote changed my life forever. “Be who you needed when you were younger.” When I was struggling through puberty, I didn’t need anyone with some high-level degree or professional credential to help me. I only needed someone who cared. Someone who could see my pain and talk to me about it. Someone who could give me ideas for managing the body changes and navigating my new social landscape. I needed a Puberty Ally. And with that, I accepted the mission to help girls have a less sucky puberty experience. At first, I thought I’d be working directly with the young girls, but that’s not how things are lining up. It turns out that my mission is to help moms and girls to thrive through puberty. Having your mom on your Puberty Ally team can make a world of difference.
