Out Loud Podcast With Rob & Rachel
Gen X and ADHD: Growing Up Before Social Media, Blockbuster Nights, and EQ Over IQ
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Episode 13 is pure Gen X + ADHD energy.
Snowstorms, Blockbuster memories, MTV nostalgia, cheating on tests (allegedly), answering machines, concerts, book club brain spirals, and the moment you realize you were never lazy—just wired differently.
Rob and Rachel talk about growing up Gen X with ADHD, masking in school, EQ vs IQ, losing things that matter, why social media quiets the brain, and how Givers, Takers, and Matchers explains a LOT about your relationships.
Plus:
• Blockbuster vs mall arcade
• The $800 late fee story (yes, really)
• Why teachers “gave up” on some of us
• What we lost when everything went online
• The pet peeves that still make no sense
• And why concerts, MTV Unplugged, and live music hit different
It’s funny, reflective, a little chaotic, and extremely relatable if you grew up before everything went digital.
🎧 Episode 13 is live.
If you’re Gen X, ADHD, or both… this one’s for you.
