Gen X Girls Grow Up, Talking 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 Manz, a Gen X Woman 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 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.
We’re having a party and YOU are invited.
We’re throwing a virtual 80’s themed party to celebrate the launch of our digital magazine, GEN neXt. Join us for trivia, prizes, and a whole lot of fun.
It’s happening on March 8 at 5 PM EST.
In this episode, we’re talking about…
What it means to be a Gen X woman
Why Gen X women are no longer accepting things anymore
The excitement about things from our childhood makes a resurgence, like a movie adaptation of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
How Gen X women can get visibility
Why pride in our resilience, independence, and ability to power through hurts us
And of course the Gen X lightening round of favorite bands, movies, heartthrob and more
