Welcome to the Raising Flora Podcast where we talk about periods, parenting, and everything you need to give your tweens and teens a healthy, positive start to their cycling years. I'm your host, Liz Vivian, a mom and a menstrual health educator and coach. I love teaching about menstrual cycles — from biology and hormones to inner seasons and cyclical self care. I love inviting stories, answering questions, and making periods a little less taboo every day. I’m warm, down to earth and here to help — you can ask me anything.
Season One is all about the back-to-school season. As a mom, I know this season can be a lot to manage both logistically and emotionally as we nurture our tweens and teens through so many beginnings – new classes, new sports seasons, new bus routes, new friendships. So I reached out to experts for good ideas and support. We’ve had amazing conversations about important topics like mental health, nutrition, mindset, friendship, academics, and love. And I’ve brought a cycle aware spin to each chat. I invite you to listen in.
