January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, so let’s talk about a body part that doesn’t get enough attention: the cervix!

It sits at the bottom of the uterus and acts like the “doorway” between the uterus and va**na.

Pap smears check the cervix for unhealthy cell changes—but teens don’t typically need Pap smears yet.

What do tweens and teens need?
✔️ The HPV vaccine
✔️ Honest info
✔️ Parents who feel prepared to talk about it

HPV is a common virus that can lead to warts and several cancers, and the vaccine is incredibly effective at preventing infections.

This month -and every month - let’s normalize healthy conversations about the cervix, HPV, and preventive care. Turning Teen can help you start those chats with confidence. 💙

Reflection is an important part of growth. Before the countdown begins, pause and ask a few simple questions that should spark meaningful conversations. Help your kids notice gratitude, growth and pride which are skills that matter more than the presents they received over the holidays. This will also help them make wishes for the new year. (Hint: adults should let their kids ask them these questions too!)

For the final episode of 2025, I went the “My Favorite Things” route and created a roundup of The Year’s Best Self-Confidence Advice
- featuring a handful of the incredible guests who joined me on the mic this past year.
Think of this episode as a “greatest hits album,” where we revisit some of the conversations that resonated most with you (and with me) this year.

In this special “Best Of” episode:

❤️Dr. Lisa Klein of explains why the tween years feel so hard (spoiler alert: they’re supposed to be).

❤️Nina Badzin from breaks down the origin of groups and why tweens, teens, and let’s be honest, all of us, feel so much pressure to belong, and how to shift from fitting in to finding real connection.

❤️Abby Gagerman gives us a clear, compassionate playbook for exactly what to say (and what not to say) when your daughter comes home saying she’s been dropped from the group.

❤️ helps us lessen the pressure of motherhood with the reminder that there isn’t always a “right” choice - just the choice that’s right for YOU, right NOW.

❤️Heather Redisch from shares what moms of tweens and teens can do TODAY to build a foundation of confidence for the adulting years ahead.

❤️And offers simple, actionable tools to help us show up as our most confident selves.

I truly loved having each of these guests on the show this year (and many more), and I’m so excited to share a few of their most memorable moments with you in this week’s episode.
