Raising Flora Podcast

By: Liz Vivian
  • Summary

  • 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
    Sep 18 2024

    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.

  • Strengthening Your Athlete's Mental Game with Bre Smedley
    Sep 11 2024

    Today, I talk about supporting our tween’s and teen’s mental game with Bre Smedley, a life-long athlete who played volleyball in college and now coaches a two-time state champion high school volleyball team in addition to running her business, The Elite Competitor. Bre is using her personal experiences as an athlete plus her Master’s in Education, and her Certification in Positive Performance Mindset to help girls build their confidence for game day and every day.

    As a mom of a competitive athlete I gobbled up Bre's insights and suggestions and I'm excited to share our conversation with you. We talk about:

    • why confidence and mental strength matters as much as physical training for middle and high school athletes
    • what it looks like when your athlete has a solid mental game – hint, it’s not seeing her happy all the time
    • what to say to your daughter before and after competition
    • and what your athlete can do to show up as a positive force on her team
