The Millennial Midlife Crisis

from Girls Gotta Eat · host Dear Media

This episode is for millennials (or anyone!) wondering (*cue Billie Eilish*) What Was I Made For? We’re discussing hitting the point in your life where you start assessing/reflecting/questioning, and why millennials are being hit so hard with this. We talk about the state of the world, the work force, the revolt against Girl Bossing, the “caregiving squeeze,” and why it can be so painful to not have the partner and/or family you had hoped for. BUT it’s not a doomsday discussion – we talk about how to live your best life even if it’s not the one you envisioned and share all the ways our listeners are handling their midlife crises from mahjong to Marlboros. Before we get into the discussion, we talk about Rayna moving to New York, how Ashley is feeling, and share all our thoughts on life in LA vs. NYC. Enjoy!
