In this episode of Out Loud with Rob and Rachel, we go deep into what it really meant to grow up Gen X and how that upbringing shows up in our parenting today. From free-range childhoods, boredom, and figuring things out without an electronic leash, to grit, resilience, and raising kids in an algorithm-driven world, this conversation is equal parts nostalgic, honest, and real.
We talk Gen X vs Gen Z without pitting generations against each other, unpack what we got right, what we got wrong, and what still matters. From discipline then vs now, parenting fears, breaking generational cycles, and teaching kids how to think instead of react, this episode is about raising capable humans in a complicated world.
If you grew up riding bikes until dark, making collect calls, standing in line for concert tickets, or learning life through trial and error, this one will hit home.
🎧 Raw conversations. Zero fluff. Plenty of grit.
