    This podcast and the last one introducing generational theory blew my mind! I was born in 1970 and never realized how much I inhabit that GenX mentality, sometimes leaning into it more than is helpful. And the rest of the model actually gives me so much more compassion for people of older and younger generations. I actually started laughing in my car when you wrapped up this episode about GenX maybe needing to step up, take on leadership, and be visible for the community we serve. I keep wanting to run away from that and just be an irritable but highly competent hermit. Thanks as always for all you do at PH. Absolutely life-changing content and community year after year.

    Thanks Rachel for stopping by and sharing your resonance. I think you are going to love the next episode as we look at Millennials and GenZ.

    Really interesting discussion. Thank you. As Gen X, absolutely I’m guilty of all those things and the reasons are spot on. I’m not sure how my baby boomer parents would feel it about it though. Would be interesting to find out. Looking forward to next podcast.
