  Ep. 38: What to wear over 50—don't Google it

  Mar 22, 202627 minS2

  <p >This will not be a surprise to anyone who's been following along with the pod: We think fashion rules, especially when they correspond to age, are really dumb and you should ignore them. It's shocking to us that these rules persist, and saddens us that when a woman Google's "how to dress after 50," she is fed all sorts of nonsense. </p> <p >For this episode, we dive into those Google results. We walk you through why the results are a travesty, and what to do instead. </p> <p >The main takeaway? "F*ck you Lloyd."<br /> <br /> We hope yo...

Its never-ending, espcially on social media.<br /> <br /> But what if we embraced our perceived flaws and recognized them as superpowers. Whether it's a large, distinctive nose or earned lines on your face, letting go of the insecurities we tend to feel around these characteristics can be magical. </p> <p >It's much easier said than done, of course.

  Ep. 35: Alicia Rose is giving menopause the punk rock treatment it needs

  Mar 1, 202658 minS2

  <p >Our guest this week is Alicia Rose, who is bringing a revolution to the conversation about perimenopause and menopause with an upcoming documentary called Menopunks. The film will examine the travesty of the Women's Health Initiative through a decidedly GenX lens. </p> <p >In 2002, the WHI was halted with reports of increased breast cancer risk linked to hormone therapy. We know now that the analysis of the data was deeply flawed. Still, the majority of the women who at the time were reaping the benefits of HRT abruptly stopped taking it. Hormone replacement held an undeserved stigma for the ne...
