S3 Ep 10: Gen X are being phased but we will not go quietly

In this conversation, Cathy and Laura reconnect after five weeks apart, sharing personal updates about their lives, including challenges faced during travels, the impact of grief and their big feelings about the current U.S. election. In this episode’s change chat ‘big theme’, Cathy and Laura explore the complexities of ageing, nostalgia, and the generational shifts in identity and relevance.  They reflect on the physical and mental challenges of ageing, and the bittersweet nature of facing inevitable losses while also still trying to look forward to joyful moments.  The discussion delves into the feeling of suddenly becoming the 'adult in the room' and the struggle to maintain relevance in a youth-centric culture.  Sherri Dindal - Gen X content creator and comic  The Holderness Family ‘Everyone Forgets About Gen X’  Recommendations:  Firebrand Movie with Jude Law The Diplomat with Keri Russell Wifedom by Anna Funder We are the Stars by Gina Chick Hosts: Cathy O’Brien https://www.instagram.com/cathy_l_obrien/ Laura Jackel https://www.instagram.com/lauracjackel/ Audio Producer:  Marissa Roberts: https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial/ Thanks for listening to The Change, a fully independent podcast.  We appreciate your support and listens, so if you like what we do please tell your friends and leave a five star review!  Send us a voice message here: ⁠⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-change-pod/message⁠
