About the show

Growing up is packed with awkward moments… not just for the kids going through it, but for their adults, too. Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett are here to help, with humor and zero judgment. They explain the science behind all of the physical, emotional, and social changes of the tween, teen, and even early 20-something years.  From body changes and big feelings to every imaginable blush-worthy question about friendships, sex, and social media, we cover it all. Trade in your cringe for clarity so it can all be less awkward! Watch the full episodes on Youtube!
