Raising Flora Podcast
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.

Giving Tweens and Teens a Solid Start to the School Year
Today, I talk about how to give our tweens and teens a solid start to the school year with Jessyka Coulter, lifelong learner, and founder of Ace Cookie Tutoring where she teaches kids HOW to learn and how to LOVE learning.
Jessyka’s joy for learning shines through this episode from her story about wanting to be high school valedictorian to her tips for starting the new school year on a great path for learning. She shares what’s behind your daughter’s “school is boring” comments and reminds us that anyone can learn, it’s just a matter of knowing how YOU learn.
I’m teaching Getting Ready for Periods classes for moms that start in October. If you’re looking to do more than “wing it” with your daughter’s first periods, if you want the information, resources, coaching and community you’re craving, join me for Getting Ready for Periods.
