Gen X is having a moment—sort of. We’re the forgotten middle child of generations: too analog for Gen Z, too online for Boomers, and often left out of the conversation entirely. In this episode, Jessica Shaw explores the modern Gen X identity crisis, from unexpected layoffs and ageism to Vogue’s bold claim that we might actually be the cool ones now. She reflects on generational whiplash, parenting digital-native kids obsessed with ’80s music, and what happens when silence feels easier than speaking up. If you're navigating midlife with a sense of humor, a side of rage, and a Smiths playlist in the background, this one's for you.
