Everybody Stagedive NOW! Constant Chaos w/ Backwoods Barbie, Lauren Frances - a podcast by Bee Bee

Lauren Frances is a self proclaimed Backwoods Barbie, Cancer sun, Pisces moon, Gemini rising, straightedge, loud and sassy artist from a small town in Kansas. In this episode, Lauren and I talk the parallels of our childhoods and the constant chaos of her youth spent with a disabled father and a mother with drug and alcohol problems. She talks getting sober at 14, dealing with her mother’s reputation as a convicted felon, and reinventing and redefining herself through the discovery of Minor Threat. We chat reparenting techniques we have learned and Lauren talks how not to be a shitty parent to her son, Will when you don’t have the best childhood examples. I cry about trauma and zines but hide it well. It’s a sob fest but - guess what - we are alive and have gratitude! This week’s self care tip brought to you by: @haley_does_rope who shares with us her kinky self care tips for self revolution! ✨ Everything pop culture referenced this episode: Dolly Parton, Scott Vogel, Minor Threat
