Season 12, Episode 2: Building confidence in teenage girls (with guest Jas Schembri-Stothart

Dahlia is joined by Jas Schembri-Stohart co-Founder of We are Luna an app based community to build the confidence of teenage girls and share science backed information and support as they navigate puberty, hormones and teenage life.

They discuss the challenges young girls have today and how important it is to direct them to credible sources to learn about their bodies and the changes that happen during the teen years.

Jas shares some of the shocking myths that are promoted online on social media and the places teens are seeking out information at present - and why Luna is trying to change the narrative and be the online 'big sister' that is needed for so many girls.

The episode is an insight into the world of teenage girls today and how to build their confidence, how to meet them where they are in terms of online sharing vs discreet advice and how to normalise bodily changes we all experiences.

Jas is the co-founder of Luna, the world’s first trusted companion for teens, like a big sister in your pocket, supporting young people as they navigate adolescence with confidence and care.
