Description

Whether by our own design, or by the nature of who we are, GenX seems to be the forgotten generation. And since our feelings never mattered, we’re pretty used to it. The GenX Experience is here to reclaim our voices and our space as we navigate midlife - from friendships to dating, raising kids and caring for parents, and experiencing the rollercoaster of ageism in the workplace - this podcast is meant to educate, inspire, and of course bring back that 80s kid nostalgia. Tune in to commiserate with your fellow GenX-ers and learn how we are all surviving this thing called adulting.
