Your Mind On Podcast

Gen Stress


Listen Later

Have you ever sat in a meeting and felt like you and your coworkers were speaking entirely different languages? Whether it’s the "no-nonsense" boss, the fiercely independent Gen Xer, the purpose-driven Millennial, or the boundary-pushing Gen Z intern, our generational backgrounds shape how we show up at work more than we realize.


In this episode of Your Mind On, we’re diving deep into the "Great Generational Stress Gap." We explore how upbringing, global events, and technology have created distinct emotional frameworks for the four generations currently in the workforce.


In this episode, we discuss:


  • The "Why" Behind the Tropes: From "latchkey" Gen Xers to "digital native" Gen Z, we break down the history that shaped each generation's work ethic and emotional regulation.


  • The Five Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence: How self-awareness, empathy, and motivation differ across age groups.


  • The Stress Statistics: Why a staggering 91% of Gen Z employees report feeling stressed and what that means for the future of work.
