What if the younger generation isn’t lazy…
What if they’re just seeing things more clearly?

In this episode, inspired by a powerful conversation on A Bit of Optimism featuring Dr. Eliza Filby, I’m diving into the real conversation most people are missing.

We’re talking about:

• Why “lack of hunger” might actually be emotional awareness
• How a completely different world shaped every generation
• The truth about Gen X—the latchkey kids who raised themselves and are now holding everything together
• Why younger generations are redefining work, not rejecting it
• And what happens when we stop judging and start understanding

This isn’t about picking sides.
It’s about seeing the full picture.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or even judged across generational lines… this episode will give you a new lens to look through.

Book: How Unplugging Almost Killed Me

• Where in my life have I labeled something as “lazy” instead of trying to understand it?
• What beliefs about work did I inherit… and are they actually true anymore?
• Am I expecting others to operate from a reality that no longer exists?
• Where might someone else’s “lack of effort” actually be self-protection?
• And the big one…
   Am I living in alignment… or just continuing what I was taught?

I want you to try something different.

Step 1:
 Think of a judgment you’ve had recently.
 Maybe about someone else… maybe about yourself.

Step 2:
 Flip it into curiosity:

• What might they be protecting?
• What might feel unsafe or pointless to them?

Step 3:
 Now bring it inward:

• Where have I done this in my own life?

Step 4 (this is the shift):
 Ask yourself:
 What becomes possible if I stop needing them to be wrong?
