Gen X Juggler Podcast
Yesterday, we were the fun-loving feral kids of the 80’s, and today we’re grownup Gen Xers juggling the many joys and demands of midlife. That happened fast! This podcast will cover topics that matter most to us as we navigate the uncharted waters of midlife and all that comes with it. We’ll reminisce about the good old days and also share stories and valuable conversations that help us make the most of the here and now.

We Gen Xers can find ourselves a bit behind when it comes to planning for retirement--or even saving for today. Who knew we would one day be in our middle years and really need to plan for our future? Well, here we are, and I am very fortunate to be joined by Rene Butcher, Financial Advisor and Wealth Manager with Edward Jones, who is going to tell us how to reach our savings and retirement goals, even if we may have started just a little late.

In this episode, we explore the difference between what it was like to be a young woman in the 1980's and 90's and now. Have we traded power suits and business meetings for homesteads with chickens and miniature cows? If so, count me in! : )

Sometimes we Gen Xers feel like our best years are behind us. That couldn't be further from the truth! We know ourselves well and have access to more resources than ever before. We are fully equipped to take action and make sure the next 50 years are as good as, or even better than, the first.
