Today's episode is one of two podcasts about the seasons of womanhood. In this episode, Shannon Covel, founder of Seasons of Sisters, shares insights and tips for talking to our daughters about their first period. Your daughter’s first period can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you, the mom (or dad), portrays it. Let’s face it, most women don’t look forward to a visit from Aunt Flo. Why is that? Because it’s messy and painful and makes us moody. But the good news is, there are things to help with the common discomforts. Why not bless your daughter with a first time box that includes all the items she needs to feel confident, clean and comfortable and opens up the door of communication for you to explain what she can expect.

About the Founder Shannon Covel is the mother of six children, four daughters, and now two granddaughters. She enjoys helping young women embrace womanhood. The idea of Seasons of Sisters was birthed from the experiences she has gained through having a rough time with PMS, carrying six children through pregnancies, birthing all of them naturally, nursing all of them, and then later having a rocky road through menopause. Shannon has had the privilege of having many girls and women come through her home, and as she listened to them tell their stories and share complaints, she realized most of us have just suffered through certain parts of each season. Since then, she has been on a quest to find natural recipes and pampering products to help ease the discomfort of each season with the goal of making each season comfortable, even enjoyable! On a personal note, I've known Shannon for around 13 years and I trust her to bring you quality products. This is not a sponsored post, nor am I an affiliate of her products. I simply saw a good thing and wanted to support her, and I hope you can see the love she has put into these boxes. Giving one to my youngest daughter helped "break the ice" so I could make sure she is prepared when that day comes.
