Experiences Over Things: Why Gen Z Is Right and What a National Championship Game Taught Me

In this episode, I’m diving into a question that came up over and over after we attended the college football national championship game:“How much did it cost?”And honestly, that question opened the door to a much bigger conversation.Today, we’re talking about why Gen Z prioritizes experiences over things, why that mindset actually makes a lot of sense, and why so many women in midlife are quietly starting to feel the same shift. This episode isn’t about money or luxury. It’s about values, intention, and how we choose to spend our time in this stage of life.I’m also sharing what that championship game experience really gave us and why, years from now, the price tag won’t be the part that matters.In this episode we cover:Why asking “how much did it cost?” misses the bigger pointWhat Gen Z understands about experiences that many of us are just learningHow midlife naturally shifts our priorities from accumulation to connectionWhy time becomes the most valuable currency in your second actHow experiences don’t have to be big or expensive to be meaningfulA powerful reframe for how we measure “worth it” decisionsIf you’ve ever felt torn between being responsible and fully living your life, this conversation is for you.I'd love to connect over on Instagram!
