What if puberty was never meant to be awkward, clinical, or confusing—but sacred?In this beautiful and thought-provoking conversation, former middle school teacher turned puberty mentor Megan of Body Talk Basics joins us to explore how our culture has stripped connection out of puberty education—and how she’s bringing it back in. After years of watching young teens wrestle with shame and silence around their changing bodies, Megan realized that the real missing piece wasn’t more diagrams or data—it was connection. Connection to self, to community, and to the divine design of the body itself.Together, we talk about what it looks like to return reverence to the puberty transition—to see it not as an inconvenience, but as a holy initiation into self-awareness, nourishment, and the sacred responsibility of caring for one’s body. Megan helps us recognize the parallels between puberty, pregnancy, and postpartum—each a profound initiation that calls us deeper into trust, surrender, and partnership with God.We explore the universal truths about the body that resonate with people of all beliefs—how the language of the body plants quiet seeds of faith and wonder, subtly shifting how we see God’s character reflected in every stretch, bleed, ache, and renewal.Megan also shares her personal story of transformation: from being birth-phobic to becoming a joyful “birth evangelist.” Her first free birth unfolded as a prayerful partnership with God—nine nights of prodromal labor, whispered mantras of “Good job, baby. Thank you, God. Yes.” and the tender spiritual companionship of St. Olga, whom she calls her spiritual midwife (link to her story)This episode is an invitation to remember that the body tells the truth of God’s design—and that every threshold, from puberty to postpartum, is a doorway back to reverence, responsibility, and joy.✨ Get Megan’s Body Talk Basics course using code SISTERBIRTH to save 10%!Connect:Email us to say hi: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠Put in a request for future topics and/or submit a question for future Q&A episodes: ⁠⁠Fill out the form⁠⁠Apply to tell your birth story on the podcast: ⁠⁠Holy Wild Birth Podcast : Guest Application⁠⁠Hang out with us and other Holy Wild Women in our private community (off Facebook): ⁠⁠Rooted in Eden PMA⁠⁠Become a holy, wild birthkeeper with us inside ⁠⁠Hearthmother Journey⁠⁠From Lauren:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Midwifery consults: Email  ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠From Brooke:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust God, Trust Birth Workshop⁠⁠ - a 5-part high-level roadmap to a confident home birth (pay what you can)⁠⁠Faith-Filled Home Birth Workshop ⁠⁠- a free, 3-part video series delivered to your inbox⁠⁠Embrace Birth Journey ⁠⁠- comprehensive and holistic faith-based home birth preparation (courses + private community)Intro and Outra Music Credit -Betty Dear By ⁠⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠⁠ is licensed under a ⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠.
