Creator Influence

Cara & Vanessa Natterson & Kroll Bennett

This Is So Awkward, led by pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson and educator Vanessa Kroll Bennett, serves as a clinical resource for parents navigating the biological and social complexities of adolescence. The duo translates medical science into actionable advice through their main series, The This Is So Awkward Podcast, covering topics from neurobiology to digital safety. Dr. Natterson brings institutional authority as the author of the American Girl book The Care and Keeping of You, while Bennett provides foundational educational strategy from her work with Dynamo Girl. Their content often features expert dialogues, such as their Tech Debate with Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price, which addresses the impact of smartphones on teen development. A recent win for the brand is the release of their co-authored guide, This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained, which expands their reach into tangible educational curricula. Using evidence-based research, they assist adults in managing the physical and emotional shifts occurring between ages 8 and 18.
