    How Gen Z Uses Comedy to Cope

    There’s a reason the phrase “laughter is the best medicine” became such a popular thing to say. A good helps us feel better, but is also a way Gen is making sense of the world and their lives. In this episode of #GenZ, host Meghan Grace sits down with the podcast’s own editor — comedian, creative producer, and grief group facilitator Leah Kramer— to explore how Gen Z is using comedy as a form of critique, connection, and coping. From launching Crush Comedy  to building Hot People Grieving, a peer-led space for young adults navigating loss, Leah shares how humor and creative expression have helped her — and her generation — process the world with both depth and levity. Together, Meghan and Leah unpack: - Why Gen Z humor is more than dark jokes and meme culture - How creativity can be a release, even when it’s messy or unpolished - The role of community in healing and identity-building - Why Gen Z “just does it” — but also talks about it, a lot This episode blends storytelling, social commentary, and some serious laughs — all through the lens of what it means to be growing up and creating in a world that feels like it's on fire.

    Gen Z’s Mindset on Retirement Financial Planning

    What does retirement and financial planning look like when you're 25? And, why should young people start caring about it now? In this episode of #GenZ,  Dr. Meghan Grace is joined by Zechariah Schaefer, founder of Ascent Personal Finance, to explore what financial planning and retirement preparation actually means for Gen Z. This conversation dives into how today's Gen Z professionals are redefining success, blending purpose with planning, and seeking financial strategies that truly fit the life they want to live today and in the future. Zechariah shares his personal story—from growing up around Wall Street to launching his own advice-only wealth firm designed specifically for high-earning Gen Z and Millennial clients. Together, Meghan and Zechariah uncover how young people today are navigating wealth-building with intentionality, flexibility, and a healthy skepticism of outdated financial norms. You’ll leave feeling empowered to reflect honestly on your finances and your future. Zechariah leaves us with simple, practical insights: Money is your story. It’s not just numbers. It’s about aligning dollars with your values and the life you want. Rent or buy? Do the math. Owning a house isn’t always best. In many places, renting saves money and reduces stress. 401(k)s and IRAs are buckets. They’re not investments. They’re tools with tax benefits. Use them in the right order. DIY or hire? Test yourself. Do you have the time, talent, and desire to manage your money? If not, find help. And if you hire, make sure they review your tax return. Start simple. Spend less than you earn. Pay off high-interest debt. If possible, save about 15% of income and use tax-advantaged accounts first. Make sure your money is invested and diversified, not just sitting in cash.
