In this episode, the Divas dive into the real-life dynamics that only GenX can break down with equal parts humor, wisdom, and “now you know better.” We kick things off with a situation many of us know too well: an adult talking down to his grown cousin as if he were still a child. The Divas unpack why some folks get stuck in old family roles, how to set boundaries with relatives who refuse to update their mental software, and why respecting someone’s adulthood is non-negotiable.

From there, we shift into a conversation that hits every household—real-feel inflation. Not the numbers they talk about on TV, but the inflation we feel in our wallets, our grocery carts, and our everyday lives. The Divas break down how the cost of living is shifting in ways that don’t always show up on paper.

And speaking of grocery carts, we couldn’t ignore the shrinking goods phenomenon. Same price, smaller product, and a whole lot of side-eye from GenXers who remember when a bag of chips actually had chips in it. We talk about how “shrinkflation” is changing the way we shop, budget, and call out these brands with our full chest.

It’s honest, it’s relatable, it’s culturally grounded—and it’s exactly the kind of conversation you have with your favorite GenX girlfriends who tell it like it is.

In this episode, your favorite GenX best friends sit down for a wide‑ranging conversation that blends the personal with the powerful. From the shifting landscape of politics and how it impacts everyday life, to the realities of managing money in uncertain times, to the importance of staying strong and fit as we age — nothing is off the table.
