Great Relationships: Gen X & Gen Z

Or maybe you are a Gen Z-er that wishes your Gen X parents understood how to connect with you and finally got a clue. Or as a Gen Z-er, you are tired of all the negative labels that older generations place on you as emotional, fragile or lazy.
Join Sydney Knupp (Gen Z) and Deb Knupp (Gen X) as they interview their Gen Z guests on topics that most parents are afraid or don’t know how to talk to their kids about - everything from mental health to substance abuse, sex to schoolwork, and navigating the minefield that is friend and family dynamics in your teens and early 20s.
