When Tori Amos launched her debut solo album Little Earthquakes in 1992, she became an icon to a whole generation of angsty Gen X teens and young adults. At age 62, the singer-songwriter is still known for her flaming red hair, passionate piano playing, and unique voice. Fans still go see her live to hear her perform classics like "Silent All These Years," "Crucify," "Cornflake Girl," and more.Now, Amos is making a name for herself as a "menopausal queen" after she brain farted one of her own songs live on stage. She's been performing for decades and writes her own songs, so forgetting a lyric or chord is pretty unexpected. But in the middle of a concert, after singing, "Not tonight, Josephine"—the opening line of her song "Josephine"—she stopped abruptly, looked at the audience, and whisper-dropped an f-bomb. See on Instagram The audience laughed out loud. Then Amos picked right back up with a whole new song, improvised on the spot, about her menopausal brain:"It was bound to happen, it was bound to happen, somewhere in my menopausal mind…as long as I know a couple things, like this is what it is, and this is what it is [indicating the microphones], we'll get there eventually. It was bound to happen in my menopausal mind, but at least I can laugh this time." The audience, undoubtedly filled with menopausal and perimenopausal fans, cheered wildly.The woman who shared the video, @thegarbagemom on Instagram, wrote:"Tori Amos having a full blown brain-fog moment and just rolling with it? GEN X ICON QUEEN BEHAVIOR?THANK YOU @toriamos for continuing to be a siren voice for our generation. ? I loved her as a teen and love her even more now!Her music was the soundtrack to our girlhood revolution, and now she’s still here (!!!) still showing up for us and telling the truth, even when her brain is foggy, even when her body is changing. - YouTube www.youtube.com It feels like watching our entire generation grow up together. This is why Perimenopause-a-Palooza matters (and will happen!) Because artists like Tori didn’t just shape our youth, they’re shaping this chapter too. ?We deserve a place where our stories, our humor, our rage and our power in mid-life are seen and heard. This chapter of our life needs a stage too!!"Amos has been a graceful aging advocate for years now. In 2012, she told CNN journalist Brooke Baldwin, "As you get older, you just have to step into your grace ... The youngsters don’t have what you bring, which is an awareness, a knowledge. Please, just hold your head up high. You can’t be 27 and be a great queen.”She also spoke about menopause at another concert, saying the worst thing about it was forgetting things. However, she added that there were great things about it, too, telling young women that they'll "understand what fire is" when they're 50. "Just you wait," she said. from toriamos Gen Xers are loving how Amos went from being the voice of our girlhood to the voice of our womanhood without skipping a beat. Those angsty youngsters still live somewhere in us, and it's all the more comforting to have Tori Amos nailing our feelings at this stage of life, too.

Australia-based dad Leong Hiew shared that his sons are approaching the age where they're ready to start dealing with little bits of pocket money here and there. Wanting to start them off on the right foot, he sat down to write some appropriate ground rules for healthy money management. That's when he realized not only that the rules he had already jotted down for technology and screen use applied perfectly, but also that they were guidelines adults could benefit from as well.So he combined them into one set. And parents are begging to grab this document. Reading them, it's easy to see why.Rule #1: Money and tech are TOOLS to help us grow…and therefore, can't make you happy. Being kind, working hard, and spending time with those you love, on the other hand, can.

"No exceptions," he says.Rule #3: Learn small before doing big"We practice spending $2 before we try to spend $20. We try playing with small apps before we jump on big platforms. We learn by biting off what we can chew," said Hiew. Child counting coins with an abacus and jar nearby on a table.Photo credit: CanvaRule #4: If we show healthy signs, we get more; if we have warning signs, we get lessFor both technology and money: if it leads to hiding or sneaking, throwing tantrums when we don't have them, or thinking about nothing else, then "it all goes away."Rule #4: Mistakes are OK. Hiding them is not. Hiew argues that talking openly about mistakes helps us learn from them. Both kids and adults prove that they're trustworthy, and thus, earn more privileges.Rule #5: Our job is to be ourselvesHiew explained that a kid's job is to be a kid, not to solve a parent's money problems, and vice versa. This one was a little more money-oriented, but easy to see how it could be applied to tech use, especially if certain platforms are forcing kids to lose their innocence a bit too quickly. And perhaps the sweetest part of all comes at the very bottom statement of the document: "Daddy loves you, and I am here to help you learn and grow! If you are not sure, talk to Daddy, and Daddy will listen and help you learn what to do."Hiew concluded by reiterating how much children thrive on routine and structure, saying, "it grounds them and gives them an environment where they are safe and they can trust." And even as an adult, he said that the rules helped remind him of the importance of "concentrating on myself." @growingwithleong Gratitude 458: Household Rules for Money & Tech. I share with you my household rules for money and tech. Do they resonate with you? — Series intro: Everyday I find a moment of gratitude, to cherish my life and the world, and help me initiate positive action. This series is a record for my kids… Boys, this is what Daddy is grateful today. Did you find something to grateful for too? ♬ original sound - Leong’s Growth Journal ?? People were totally onboard with these rules, and applauded Hiew for putting them together in such a concise and effective way."I am a wealth planner…[and] I am confident that many of my clients would have had easier paths if someone instilled them in them at an early age.""I like that money and tech are tools that really sat with me.""As a parent, a therapist, and a sober adult, I want to tell you I found this to be perhaps the greatest understanding of parenting and self reflection on what's important in life that I've ever seen."With this framework, families can all get aligned with what really matters. And if you, like many viewers of this video, are jonesing for your own copy, Hiew graciously made a free downloadable, editable document, found here.

"Children can get Hep B in childcare or at home." PSA: Just to be perfectly clear, not from any daycare I'd send my kids to, nor in MY home. Sen Weiner, on the other hand, wants you to know that around him, that's totally 'a thing.' https://t.co/hhsqNalsCT — Chris Martenson (@chrismartenson) December 7, 2025
