On April 2, 2024, I launched The Gen X Shift—a podcast for Gen X’ers ready to rethink careers, leadership, health, and purpose. A year later, after 36 episodes, 21 guests, and 15 solo deep dives, I’m celebrating a wild ride I never saw coming.

🔥 I did something unknown, just because it felt right. Have you ever had that pull? That thing you know you need to do?

All month, I’m celebrating with a 4-part anniversary series, counting down the top 8 life-changing topics covered by my guests. Each episode brings highlight reels of their best insights—to help you make meaningful shifts in your own life.

This week, we’re kicking off with:

💪 #8: Health - Let’s Get Physical (Because Gen X bodies aren’t 25 anymore.)

Featuring:

✔️ Monique Jones

✔️ Dr. Leona Allen

✔️ Matt Comneck

✔️ Suzanne Greiner

🚀 #7: Leadership, Entrepreneurship & Career Shifts - The Eye of the Tiger (Because climbing the ladder isn’t the only option.)

Featuring:

✔️ Josh Thurmond

✔️ Jen Porter

✔️ Ben Grimes

✔️ Eric Nehrlich

✅ Listen to this week’s episode and past guest interviews.

✅ Follow the show so you don’t miss a new episode.

✅ Leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

✅ Join the conversation—send your insights to [email protected].

This podcast started because something in me had to do it. I didn’t let fear, perfectionism, or “not knowing how” stop me. What’s pulling at you? What’s burning a hole in your soul?

Hit play and let’s celebrate a year of shifting together! 🚀🔥
