Empowering Tween Girls: Menstrual Cycles, Mother-Daughter Bonds & The Fearless Mother w/ Margitt Royce

Episode #105 - In this enlightening episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I’m joined by Margitt Royce—a nurse, spiritual teacher, and devoted mentor to mothers and daughters through her transformational program A Girl’s Rites of Passage. Margitt shares her heartfelt mission to support girls as they transition from maiden to woman, and to equip mothers (and fathers) with the tools to guide that journey with love, wisdom, and grace.

With over a decade of experience, Margitt has helped countless girls embrace their menstrual cycles, connect with the wisdom of lunar rhythms, and step into their power with confidence and pride. We also discuss her upcoming book, The Fearless Mother: An Alternative Guide for Mothers of Tween Girls, which offers practical insights to navigate the emotional and physiological challenges of the tween years while fostering stronger bonds.

Together, we explore how creating safe spaces, encouraging open dialogue, and returning to sacred traditions can empower both mothers and daughters to thrive. If you’re a parent, teacher, or simply someone who believes in the power of feminine wisdom and community, this episode will move and inspire you.
