  • ⚡️In this episode Alicia talks to the wonderful Debora Iyall - Indigenous vocalist/poet and driving force behind 80’s new wave legends Romeo Void.

    With groundbreaking feminist hits like “Never Say Never” and “A Girl In Trouble” Debora influenced countless GENX (and beyond) fans and musicians with her brash, confident voice and “give no fux” attitude as a rare full bodied woman of color at the inception of the MTV era.

    We get into her wild musical history, the importance of chemistry in collaboration, channeling defiance and rage into art, her hysterectomy/hormonal journey, her relentless activism, finding inner peace through creative expression and so much more.

    It was a joy to get to know Debora a little after being a fan since the early 80’s and srsly fascinating to hear why Romeo Void got shafted at the height of their popularity. HUGS D YR TRULY THE COOLEST!🤘😍🤘⚡️

    👏💥Snag a copy of Romeo Void’s limited double LP “Live 81-85” - their 🔥 songs captured at the height of their career lovingly curated and remastered - being released this week for Record store day!💥🤘👏❤️

We got into her bananas amazing 50 year musical career, her anger about being wrongly ripped off HRT post hysterectomy🤬, how punk powered self advocacy hacks can lead to hormonal revolution, how women of color can activate community to challenge medical rac🖕sm, how smashing systemic disempowerment with informed decision-making is tied to bodily autonomy, how the thinking has evolved about starting HRT in older age and how turning the “whisper network” into a raging punk rock scream might just save us ALL! Alice is a fabulous gem of a human - it was so generous of her to share her hormonal (and punk!) journey with us. WE ❤️‍🔥U TOCAYA!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🤘⚡️

We dig into busting through all the dangerous misinformation in the online “menoverse”, how we are forced to fight medical misogyny with self advocacy, why the midlife care desert created by the WHI misinformation is GLOBAL, how GLP-1s can work with/against HRT, how confronting medical racism SUCKS, why calling out weight bias in hormonal treatment is essential and how we must start a massive hormonal revolution to SECURE our reproductive rights in this twisted political landscape!

    It was an absolute blast talking to Amanda - she's 100% delightful and wildly hilarious. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us!! And thanks to YOU for listening and supporting the movement! ⚡️

  • ⚡️This week we chat with the fabulous Dr. Andrea Matsumura - Board certified Sleep Physician & women’s midlife health specialist AND participant in the Menopunks documentary about all things peri/meno and sleep! We dive into how better sleep = better quality of life, how sleep training ourselves is more effective than any hack, supplement or drug, how the patriarchal medical establishment needs to step women’s research the f*ck up, how HRT patch shortages are messing with our heads (and bodies and lives) and how a REVOLUTION will ignite when women fully grasp how we were ROBBED of care, access, and info about hormone therapy by politically manipulated misinformation over 20 years ago! 🤬💪❤️‍🔥⚡️

    ⚡️Dr. Matsumura is a radical spitfire and on the cutting edge of sleep science for women in midlife! If sleeping has become your enemy instead of your saving grace, this is the episode for you! 🤘⚡️
