Celebrity discusses finding her voicefrom @callherdaddy

[01]

Overview

Alanis Morissette explains her personal transformation from a quiet introvert to an outspoken individual, attributing this change in part to menopause. She describes how she now feels compelled to call out rude, patriarchal, or misogynistic behavior, likening the experience to a 'fig leaf' being ripped away that makes her and the issues she addresses more visible.
