Summary
Jan Brierton: Accidental Poet, Menopause & Midlife Mayhem In this episode of Spill the Tea with Womenkind Collective , we sit down with the sharp, funny, and all-round good human — poet Jan Brierton . From accidentally going viral to performing at The Palladium , Jan talks about her journey from fashion to poetry, tackling big topics like menopause , mental health , midlife madness , and female rage with wit and heart. We also wrap up Part 2 of our Book Club pick How To Kill A Witch by Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi — a powerful, haunting read that uncovers how women were persecuted under the guise of witchcraft. Expect laughs, truth bombs, swearing and a poem reading you won’t forget.
