"What's Next GenX?"

Your Guidance Counselor Lied to you.


Listen Later

Remember sitting in that tiny office in high school — being told what you should be when you grew up?

Teacher. Nurse. Accountant. Police officer.
(And if you were ambitious? Maybe a lawyer or banker — but only if you “fit the mold.”)

Let’s be real: your guidance counselor didn’t see you.
They saw a stereotype. A statistic.
And a career path that worked for them — not you.

And now, decades later, many of us are waking up and realizing…

We’ve been living someone else’s plan.

This episode is for every GenXer who:

  • Followed the rules (and now feels trapped by them)

  • Chose the “right” path — but can’t shake the whisper that there’s something more

  • Is wondering if it’s too late to start a new chapter (spoiler: it’s not)

🔥 In this episode:

  • How the system trained GenX to follow — not choose — our paths

  • Why we’ve hit a wall mid-career, and what to do next

  • Real examples of GenXers rediscovering what lights them up

  • The ONE question you need to start asking yourself right now

  • And the truth: You are your own guidance counselor now.

It’s time to rewrite the plan.
Not based on a checklist.
But on who you’ve become.

🎧 Listen now — and then tell us:
If you could go back and ask for something else… what would it be?
