    Handle Her With Cared Podcast- Basic Hygiene & Your Confidence: Teaching Self Care

    In this episode of Handle Her With Care Podcast, April Marie dives into a real and necessary conversation about hygiene, self-care, cleanliness, wellness, and what we are truly teaching the next generation of young women. From shower routines and feminine hygiene to hair care, deodorant, skincare, and menstrual care, this episode explores the importance of actively teaching girls how to properly care for themselves — instead of assuming they “should already know.” As a cosmetologist and self-care coach, April shares what she has witnessed firsthand: many young girls are lacking clear instruction and guidance when it comes to maintaining their bodies, personal hygiene, and personal spaces. This conversation is not about judgment — it’s about education, correction, confidence, and care. This episode discusses: • Daily hygiene routines • Hair washing with braids • Feminine hygiene practices • Proper menstrual care • Cleanliness and self-respect • Teaching vs. assuming • Wellness habits for young women • Raising confident, healthy girls Because watching someone do something is not the same as being taught how to do it yourself. We are raising a new generation of women and they deserve guidance, patience, standards, and love. Watch. Subscribe.

    Handle Her With Care Podcast EP26- The Gen Z Stare: Rude, Relaxed... or Revolutionary?

    Welcome back to Handle Her With Care Podcast, it’s your girl, April Marie… a proud millennial just trying to understand why Gen Z will look you dead in your soul and give you absolutely nothing back. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the infamous “Gen Z stare”  the blank look that has confused Gen X, stressed out millennials, and somehow feels completely normal to Gen Z. Is it awkward? Yes. Is it a little uncomfortable? Also yes. But is it possible… that they’re onto something?  We’re unpacking the generational differences in communication, emotional expression, and the unspoken expectation to always be “on.” And more importantly, we’re asking the real question: Are they being disconnected… or are they protecting their peace?  In This Episode We Talk About:  Why the Gen Z stare feels so unsettling (especially for millennials)  The pressure to perform politeness vs. choosing authenticity  Emotional burnout and why younger women are opting out  The pros of conserving your energy and not over-engaging The cons  when “peace” turns into avoidance or disconnection  How to find balance between warmth, connection, and boundaries    The Real Conversation: Maybe it’s not about being cold… Maybe it’s about being intentional. Maybe we don’t need to match their silence  but we can learn how to stop overextending ourselves just to make others comfortable. Because self-care isn’t just face masks and bubble baths… sometimes it looks like not reacting, not performing, and not explaining.    Stay Connected: Website: aprilmarieholland.com Podcast IG: @HandleWithCare_Podcast Personal IG: @ROxSTARR_Life Available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify & Podbean #genzstare #emotionalboundaries #healingjourney #womenpodcast #selfcareforwomen #womenspodcast #protectyourpeace #generationaltalk #millennials #podcast
