Episode 7: BREAKING THROUGH THE GENX ADHD PERI/MENOPAUSE HELLSPIRAL with Andi Zeisler

⚡️DOES THE PATRIARCHY FEAR THE UNF*CKABLE CRONE? 🧙🏻🖕⚡️

On this weeks episode Host Alicia & Andi Zeisler - Bitch Media founder and Senior Culture Writer at Salon.com - have a rollicking conversation about adult onset ADHD and the rollercoaster of being a neurodivergent peri/menopausal woman in 2025. They dive into how the patriarchy’s fear of women aging into their power has been fueling criminal systemic disempowerment, how the ADHD peri-meno brain drain is REAL, and how reclaiming/restoring gender affirming hormonal health care FOR ALL HUMANS MUST be GENX’s legacy.
