GenX Grooves & Giggles!
If you’re a GenXer this podcast is a must! Eileen & Maryanne hit the mark each episode taking us back to growing up & surviving as a kid through the 70’s, 80’s & early 90’s before technology & helicopter parenting existed! We were a generation that raised ourselves & frankly could’ve made it through basic training at age 10! I find myself flashing back as I can completely relate to so many of their stories! I laugh out loud every show & look forward to each episode!! Rock on my soul sisters🤘🏼
