Fifteen Minutes With Amy and Faith

This episode discusses a phenomenon common to most Gen X parents: the empty nest! We will talk about how expectations are often very different from reality!

In this episode, Faith and Amy will discuss the challenges of helping your anxious child navigate significant transitions, such as leaving home for college! Also in this episode, possible strategies for coping with anxiety to help our children or even ourselves!

This episode will discuss a topic that hits home for one of our hosts. We will explore the challenges and changes to the family structure when an adult child moves back home.

Midlife is messy, hilarious, and full of change—and nobody talks about it! Join Amy and Faith as they dish on adulting children, aging parents, shifting friendships, and rediscovering yourself—all through a Gen X lens.
