Millennials are preparing for their midlife era...and it's bringing up a lot of questions. 

For example...

• Does every generation feel this way at this age?

• Why do we feel so much younger *and* so much older than we actually are?

• What do I act... more

Jessica C. Guthrie was your typical ambitious millennial. She had it all figured out: The big dreams, the Ivy League education, the clear path to the top. And then, when Jessica was 26, her mom's Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis changed the plan.

Grief doesn't always follow the five stages that have become a fixture in cultural conversations about loss. The reality? Grief can show up in a costume...and it doesn't always begin when someone dies.

One of the hallmarks of millennial parenting? Knowing so much (maybe...too much?) about raising kids, yet constantly feeling undermined by the people who raised you. 

Even the experts are experiencing this. See: Dr. Mona Amin, a pediatrician, conten... more

    Painfully relatable- this podcast was MADE FOR ME and everyone I know who once wore a butterfly clip to school. These ladies are shining light on why daughters and mothers are exhausted, and the conversation is long overdue. Can’t wait for more episodes and guests, and to share this in every group chat.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Undoing Generational Patterns Without Losing Your Parents With Dr. Mona Amin
Q: When your own children grow up, what do you hope they remember about how you raise them?
I hope they know they can always come to us with any problem, that they are confident in themselves, and that we provide a secure base while allowing them to struggle and learn, with our priority on open communication and unconditional love.
Is Marriage Supposed to be Hard? Partnership as Parents with Eli Weinstein
Q: Do you think marriage should feel hard?
It should not feel like suffering; it should be a genuine challenge to fit two lives together, with ongoing effort and communication to keep both partners connected.
Are Millennials Financially Doomed? With Financial Advisor Bonnie Mangold
Q: Should millennials borrow for retirement or education first?
Prioritize retirement savings first; don't borrow for retirement. Education funding should come after ensuring personal financial security.
Are Millennials Financially Doomed? With Financial Advisor Bonnie Mangold
Q: What defensive steps should someone take before investing or building wealth?
Start with an emergency fund, protect against inflation with a high-yield savings account, and ensure you have basic protections like life and disability insurance, plus essential legal documents.
Everything You Think You Know About the Mental Load is Wrong with Leah Ruppanner
Q: Do you think the experience of the mental load and feeling like things aren't equal or that we're overwhelmed is part of that because in the millennial generation, men are doing more and maybe in previous generations, they didn't experience that because that was just sort of the norm?
The difference lies in outdated social norms and gendered expectations; while men have increased their participation, women still carry a larger, more burdensome mental load. The conversation should move from mere equal sharing of tasks to acknowledging the eight types of mental load and supporting each other in lines of effort that address the emotional weight and long-term goals.
