⚡️MENOPUNKS PODCAST ⚡️

⚡️WOOHOO IT’S MENOPUNKAPALOOZA MONTH!❤️‍🔥🎸🎤💥🌈⚡️

⚡️On this weeks pod we talk to MENOPUNKAPALOOZA headliners Calamity Jane - Gilly Ann Hanner, Lisa Koenig & new addition Mandy Morgan!!!

We get the unreal deets of how an infamous 1992 opening gig for NIRVANA led to collective PTSD, how musical creativity can become a spiritual mainline, how to flip debilitating trauma into profound strength, how accessing HRT may have supercharged their path to reinvention, why collaborating on music is more healing than ever in peri/menopause, how to find and raise your voice for yourself and your community, how to channel middle aged punk rage into a hormonal revolution that may save us ALL and SO MUCH MORE! ⚡️

❤️‍🔥WE ARE THRILLED TO BE HOSTING THE 35 YEAR REUNION OF THIS ICONIC TRIO AT MENOPUNKAPALOOZA! We need Calamity Jane energy now more than ever to power up for the 🤬 fight for hormonal justice ahead. LFG🤘🎸❤️‍🔥
