⚡️MENOPUNKS PODCAST ⚡️Show Notes
⚡️In this week's In this weeks episode Alicia and Jibz Cameron AKA Dynasty Handbag connect the dots between creativity, survival, bipolar disorder and the ways women and AFAB people have been under-treated for decades. We get into her feral childhood origin story and fierce memoir “Hell in a Handbag”, her brilliantly strange alchemy of performance and autobiography, how trauma, queerness, and art shaped her persona, and how hormone access, mental health, and midlife care is a deeply political issue. We also dive into hacks for self-advocacy, the exhausting estrogen patch shortage 🤬, how sharing stories with community can be life saving, overcoming struggles with body image, aging, neurodivergence, masking, the need for rest AND SO MUCH MORE! ⚡️

The bucket list is real folks!😍 We talk about the band’s origin in the LA punk scene, how they broke through with pop-forward songs, and why their all-female success was so groundbreaking. We also get deep on creativity, sexism, bipolar disorder, menopause, hormone therapy, and Jane’s new memoir and protest album. We dive into Jane’s path from glitter rock to Hollywood punk, the realities of touring 300 days a year, and the legacy of being the first all-female band to write, play, and hit number one on the charts. We also break into a frank, practical conversation about midlife health, quality of life, and what it means to fight for yourself as a woman in this wild sh*tshow of a world! ⚡️
