Growing up Gen X in Appalachia was wild, funny, traumatic, and somehow the best training for real life.

In this episode, Mandy takes you back through the childhood realities we all lived through — from Vicks and switch ceremonies to cousins-as-siblings and the Appalachian seatbelt (Mama’s arm).

A mix of nostalgia, humor, healing, and front-porch storytelling that’ll have you laughing and nodding all the way through.
