This week's guest tears up the stereotypes of both Boomers and Millennials by sharing how her parents taught her about serving humanity.

Not known for sharing their voice, this week's guest represents the generation that helped the United States get back on it's feet after the Depression, lived through World War 2, and loved JFK. Janette Lovell shares stories about growing up in a small town in Illinois swimming in gravel quarries and hunting predators and how important family is and her advice to other generations. A true gift to all generations!

Are GenXers more accepting of the LBGTQIA community, or was it just the circumstances of being exposed to the AIDs epidemic, gender fluid musicians of the 70's and 80's? Join this week's guests, Kevin and Gail, as we try to unpack this in relation to their own 4 year old who came to them several years ago requesting to be called "Gracie" instead of "Julian".

Anastasia Mak (born in 1980 in the Ukraine), better known for her art and travel adventures, gives us a glimpse into what moving to America and finding her place in the art festival circuit was like. Manifesting a dream at 14 is no small feat, but it's crazier to hear she didn't grow up with John Hughes movies!

Born in 1980, Dayna Lovell explains how easy it is for her connect with both GenX and Millenials in some ways, but when it comes to music, she is 100% Millenial! We also unpack her theory on how helicopter parents came to through her own experience as a teenage parent, and her love of the multigenerational home. 

We were both born in 1975, both named Trish, don't have kids, and never married. But not all GenXers have the same love for video games, computers, and 80's music. Trisha Lucy explains her childhood on 40 acres and how being raised by the Silent Generation makes her a little different. 

UK GenX singer songwriter Milo James (aka James Facey) shares how important it is to beware of social media silos, how he changed careers and found his passion, and how songwriting has evolved for him over the years.

Millennial guest Sharon Siorek shares her love for Dirty Dancing, the Cure, and her philosophy behind the term "Karen" as it relates to people not generations.

Retired German teacher Vicki Oldani shares how she avoided the midlife crisis, her thoughts about microdosing, and how we can get lost in generation labels. 

The intro to the vision and inspiration of making the GenX Voice project. Why now? For one, our quiet generation bridges two seemingly opposing generations and the need to come together seems more apparent now than ever before.
