Ep 9 | Millennials Need to Give Up The Adults Aren't Alright

    • Personal Journals

It’s time to give up, fellow 30-somethings. But not in the way you think. This episode is all about letting go of what we can’t control and facing that fear of being left behind in the pop culture zeitgeist head-on.

In this episode:


Seeing things from our adolescence (low-rise jeans!) come back in fashion and feeling vaguely attacked
The vibe shift article from The Cut and how it’s predicting an impending pop culture pivot
How there’s no real need to fight Gen Z over denim styles; fashion is and always will be cyclical
The younger generation is supposed to do this; it’s the natural order of things
Revisiting cheugy
Exploring why Millennials err on the sensitive side
Leaning into being more self-assured and wise (yes! Even though we don’t feel like it!) than our younger counterparts

Show notes + links:


A Vibe Shift Is Coming: Will any of us survive it?
