Generation X-Hausted: Surviving Sandwich Generation Burnout & Midlife

Generation X has been called a lot of things: cynical, detached, slackers, just to name a few. But the truth is? We are just completely exhausted. This week on Strangers With Kittens, host Eileen Kelly delivers a raw, honest look at the heavy burdens carrying the sandwich generation. As a group that essentially parented themselves as latchkey kids, Gen X has spent decades being held responsible for fixing everyone else's problems. Now in midlife, we are stuck juggling the emotional and financial strain of raising teens and adult children, caring for aging parents, and navigating a shifting culture. Tune in for a hilarious yet deeply validating Society & Culture episode that skips the toxic positivity and gives voice to why our entire generation feels like turning up our Walkmans, putting on our shades, and saying, "Peace, out."
