Her Blossom

Hello Beautiful,

I’m Shan, your “Her Blossom” nurturer. Throughout this course I will guide you from self-care to self confidence.

Growing up, everything about puberty came as a surprise to me. I never had “the girl talk.” No one explained how to take care of my hygiene, or how a young lady should carry herself with confidence. By the time I reached middle school, sex education was no longer offered, and I was left to figure things out on my own.

When my body began to change, I did what many girls do—I pieced together what I could from friends, television, and bits of information I picked up along the way. I wasn’t mentally prepared, and I certainly didn’t know the physical steps needed to properly care for myself. What carried me through was my natural determination and desire to be clean and well-kept. Through trial and error, I slowly learned what worked and what didn’t. I wouldn’t trade those experiences, because they shaped me into the woman I am today and gave me wisdom I can now pass on to you. My journey may have been filled with guesswork, but yours doesn’t have to be. I want to give you the guidance I never had, so you don’t feel lost or unprepared as you navigate this important stage of life.

As a nurse with years of experience, I’ve gained even more knowledge that I believe every young girl should have as she goes through puberty. I want you to know that what you’re experiencing is normal, that you are not alone, and that you will be okay. My goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and fully capable of taking care of yourself.

This is knowledge you’ll carry with you for a lifetime & wisdom you can one day pass along to another young girl who might not have access to the guidance she needs. My hope is that this ebook becomes the helping hand I once wished for, and that it reminds you: you are stronger, braver, and more prepared than you may think!

Remember: your body is normal, natural, and nothing to be ashamed of!
