Remember when Friday nights meant walking through aisles, clutching a plastic case, and hoping your movie wasn’t already rented out? Let’s rewind.

Before the rush of December. Before the pressure. There was November.

This episode is a little pause button—an audio Polaroid of the month we forget to cherish. The one that smelled like pencils and cold air. When the TV glowed at 5pm, and school breaks felt like small vacations from the world.

Let’s talk about the magic of slowing down before the holidays sped everything up.

Remember when Halloween meant pillowcases, flashlights, and costumes made from anything. On this episode let’s go back—way back—to when the air smelled like leaves and freedom, and one night of the year meant everything.

Before there were phones, group chats, or screen time limits… there was outside. Come take a ride back to the summers of dirt-stained socks, sidewalk chalk, and ice cream trucks that never came fast enough.

Before we had followers and timelines, we had the green electrical box at the end of the street. In this episode, we slow down and revisit the real neighborhood gathering place — the one that taught us how to show up, sit still, and just be.

Before phones filled every quiet moment, boredom led us to our best memories. In this episode, we revisit the magic of having nothing to do—and how it gave us everything.

In this episode, we’re rewinding to the soft glow of childhood evenings — that familiar buzz when the streetlights flickered on and told us it was time to go home. Those lights were more than curfews; they were comfort. A quiet reminder that someone cared enough to keep the glow waiting for you.

Now that we’re grown, our streetlights look a little different. They’re the quiet moments that whisper, “You’ve done enough for today.” The gentle cues that tell us to slow down, breathe, and find our way home — whatever that means now.

If you can still hear the buzz of the streetlights, smell the summer air, and remember the sound of a cassette clicking - this one’s for you.

Nostalgically Nostalgic is my little time machine for grown-folk souls who love to look back, reflect, and smile.

This is just a quick introduction - a soft hello before the stories begin.

New episodes every Monday and Friday - because nostalgia should be revisited at least twice a week.

This week, I’m taking you on a trip down memory lane, from the art of making mixtapes to the excitement of burning CDs, and all the way to today’s world of streaming. Let’s talk about how we used to discover music, share it, and how that’s changed over time.

This week on the GenX Green Box Podcast, I’m talking about celebrating small wins. Life can be overwhelming, but I’ve learned it’s the little victories that make the biggest difference. Join me as I share how I’ve embraced this mindset, some of my own small wins, and how you can start recognizing yours too. Let’s sit down at the Green Box and remind ourselves why every win counts!
