While we are on hiatus this summer (ahead of season four), the GenX Stories crew is re-releasing some of our most popular episodes and today’s is sadly pretty appropriate for our world right now.

After the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe Vs Wade on Jun 24, 2022, many of us have been very upset. Most of our listeners (and our show hosts!) have-not known a time when abortion wasn’t legal and safe, so we all worry what this means for our country now both in terms of bodily autonomy and overall human rights.

Between growing up with Gloria Steinam's influence on our mothers, watching Katie in The Way We Were, "Leaning In" w/Sheryl Sandberg at work and stressing out with Ada Calhoun at midlife, we share our expectations, experiences and how we're feeling about everything right now. 

Check out the replay in it’s entirety of "What it’s like for a (GenX) girl” with an updated intro that includes post-Roe resources to help you all take action right now. If you (or a beloved woman in your life) have also been dealing with a changing world, this ep is for you.
