I’m filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose, and I want to empower women with the motherf$#@!% energy to start a revolution. By 2030, one billion women will be in menopause. One. Billion. Imagine if every man’s testosterone flatlined by 50 — you think the world would stay quiet about that? Welcome to menopause: complete hormonal upheaval. And perimenopause? She’s the chaotic, b*tchy, opening act that none of us can escape. The worst part? We’re turning to a medical system that keeps spreading the lie that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer — misinformation that’s been harming women’s health since 2002.
That’s why I’m making MENOPUNKS — a feature documentary and podcast about menopause, perimenopause, quality of life and the creative process. It’s time to torch the misinformation, set the record straight about HRT, and give people the tools to advocate for their bodies, their energy, and their sanity.
Because women can’t do good if they don’t feel good.
Because gender-affirming care is a human right.
And because it’s way past time for MENOPUNKS to to start a revolution.
So join me as I pull back the curtain on the filmmaking journey, swap stories with incredible musicians, artists, and menopause experts, and expose one of the biggest medical cover-ups in modern history.

Episode 11: HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY BLACK BOX WARNING TAKEDOWN BREAKDOWN with Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan
Season 1 · Episode 11
Friday, January 23, 2026 • Duration 01:46:08
⚡️ Brilliant certified menopause specialist Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan MD joins Alicia to gleefully rip up an insert and get to the bottom of the bullsh*t surrounding the infamous misinformation ridden HRT Black Box Warnings that have plagued peri/meno care since the falsified results of the WHI Study f🙌cked us all in 2002. NO - Vaginal Estrogen does NOT cause probable dementia, NO - systemic estradiol does NOT cause breast cancer, NO micronized Progesterone does NOT lead to heart disease, NO - testosterone will not turn you into an MMA wrestler overnight (we wish!). The FDA admitted their devastating “Mistake” this past November along with the ACTUAL FACT that HRT is THE single most preventative therapy for women/AFAB, REDUCING risk of breast cancer for most women by over 23% and adding up to 30% to our lifespans! 😱 It’s f🤘cking bananas!! We ALL deserve the right to FULL BODILY AUTONOMY, free and fair access to evidence based hormonal care and tools for informed self-advocacy 🤘❤️🔥🙌. DON’T F🙌CK WITH MENOPUNKS CAUSE WE KNOW HOW TO F🤘CK YOU RIGHT BACK AT THE BALLOT BOX AND BEYOND! 🗳️🤬🩸😈🤘⚡️

CALLING BULLSH*T ON THE GENDER & HORMONE BINARY with Gilly Ann Hanner
Season 1 · Episode 5
Friday, December 5, 2025 • Duration 01:26:57
In this episode, Alicia chats with dear friend and early 90's punk legend Gilly Ann Hanner of Calamity Jane. They dive into everything from peri/menopausal chaos to standing up for the rights of the trans community, to that time Calamity Jane opened for Nirvana in Argentina and wound up imploding as a band immediately after. They reminisce about being punk firestarters in the early 90's, the not-so-glorious misogyny that came with it, and why women in music deserve way more than mansplaining over effects pedals at Guitar Center.
They also take aim at the wild world of women’s health misinformation, the deeply unfair gender/hormone binary, and the bullshit HRT scandal that is still ruining women's lives on the daily - because half the population hits menopause and the medical establishment is still working from a playbook that needs to get up to speed RIGHT F*CKING NOW.
So many laughs, truth bombs, and at least one moment where you say, “Wait—why the f*ck didn’t anybody tell me that about perimenopause?” Gilly and Alicia break down the power of building a Menopunks community, the magic of women supporting women, and the absolute necessity of demanding better—preferably while starting a band in your 50's or asking your doctor for HRT. Tune in, buckle up, and embrace the chaos. Menopause has never sounded so good. 🎸🔥

F*CKING CANCER BACK WITH HRT with Nikki Kuehl NP/Menopause Specialist
Season 1 · Episode 4
Thursday, November 27, 2025 • Duration 01:31:49
⚡️In this fun and fierce episode Alicia gets into it with triple positive breast cancer survior/HRT advocate Nikki Kuehl NP, busting through the nightmare of hormonal health and the patriarchal trash heap that’s shaped women’s medical narratives for decades. Nikki reveals her own story—surviving breast cancer, crash-landing into menopause, and realizing just how little real information women - and medical practitioners - are provided while being expected to politely endure the hellspiral.
Together they rip into the infamous Women’s Health Initiative study—the one that slammed the brakes on HRT access for an entire generation—and unpack how fear, misinformation, and outdated science still warp the conversation. They reclaim the truth: hormones aren’t a luxury; they’re a quality-of-life lifeline. And women deserve to understand their options, not tiptoe through a minefield of myths. They dive into the messy politics of hormone therapy, the pros and cons of patch vs. pill, and the absolute necessity of women being fully educated and empowered in their choices so they can make positive change in themselves and the world. They imagine a full-on MENOPUNKS revolution where women refuse silence, demand better care, and take back control of their bodies, their health, and their stories.⚡️
