Am I Just an Accidental Human With No Legacy
I was maybe 7 or 8 years old when I realized that the time between when my parents got married and when I was born was less than nine months.

If you’d told me 10 years ago that I could be prone to anxiety and depression, I would have LOL’d big time. No way would I have thought that I would suffer from anxiety or depression. I was raised in the 70’s and 80’s. I’m a strong, independent, resilient midwesterner who grew up as a latchkey kid and knew how to take care of herself. But this week, I want to put a face on one of the many ways that mental health struggles can manifest. And, in the process, hopefully normalize mental health struggles so that if you’re someone who can relate, you can know that you’re not alone.
Unleash Your Inner GenX Power: Part 2 - The Generational Shadows
Welcome to Unleash Your Inner GenX Power: Part 2 - The Generational Shadows. This week we explore the unique cultural experiences of GenX’ers that may have created shadows for them.

These events may have led many GenX’ers to develop coping mechanisms that they now recognize as shadow aspects. Discover what some of those events were and how they shaped the generational shadows.
