    GenX Women: What to Listen to

    GenX Women: What to Listen to

    Hey Girlfriend!

    Join us for "GenX Women: What to Listen to" as we dive into the cultural pulse of GenX women, exploring topics that resonate with our generation. Hosted by Jessica Neighbor & Flesché Hesch, two seasoned GenXers.

    In this episode, we delve into the captivating insights of Dr. Ramani, a trailblazer in psychology whose wisdom on narcissism and relationships sheds light on our own experiences. We also explore the raw and thought-provoking narratives crafted by Stephanie Foo, whose storytelling prowess captivates audiences and sparks introspection.

    But that's not all – we can't resist sharing our thoughts on "Girls 5EVA," the hilarious and heartwarming series that celebrates friendship, nostalgia, and the enduring spirit of GenX women. And of course, no discussion would be complete without revisiting the iconic world of "Sex and the City," where love, laughter, and the quest for fulfillment collide in the bustling streets of New York City.

    Plus, we take a deep dive into "On Being," the podcast that elevates conversations on spirituality, meaning, and the human experience. Join us as we explore the profound insights shared by guests and host Krista Tippett, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys and perspectives.

    Tune in to "GenX Women: What to Listen to" for a dose of nostalgia, inspiration, and connection – because when GenX women come together, magic happens.
