Gen X Girls Grow Up with Erin Mantz

It seems like any chance we can, Gen Xers proudly exclaim Gen Xer here! This of course starts a conversation and mutual bonding over Gen X nostalgia… the hair, the music, the fashion. 

That’s why Jackie and I had so much fun talking with Erin Mantz, a Gen X Girl and Founder and Editor of the Gen X Girls Grow Up blog and the 33,000 followers strong Gen X Girl Facebook page. 

Erin creates content that celebrates the Gen X spirit, 80s pop culture and the traits that set us apart.  

Erin’s work has been published in The Washington Post, Slate, Chicken Soup for the Soul Parenting, Huffington Post, Washington Parent Magazine, Care.com, Manifest Station and others. She’s also served as editor-at-large for Washington Parent Magazine, and is the the editor of the book Hey, Who’s in My House? Stepkids Speak Out. 

Erin loved growing up in the 1970s and 80s. She doesn’t think we should be referred to as the Slacker Generation, she’s a proud latchkey kid and refuses to let our generation be treated like the neglected middle child. 

We agree. In this episode we talk about what it means to be a Gen X Woman, why we have such generational pride and of course we have fun talking about the memories.
