Episode 8: Sandwich Generation, Teen Cats & 90s Courtship

Episode 8: Sandwich Generation, Teen Cats & 90s Courtship

This week, Kristy and Courtney get personal as they dive into what it means to be GenX in the sandwich generation—caring for kids, aging parents, and even grandparents, all at once. Courtney opens up about the loss of her dad and the emotional toll of juggling three generations of caregiving. (Spoiler: her 101-year-old grandma swears the secret to long life is avoiding men and their stress.)

They also explore how parenting shifts over time—babies are like dogs, teens are like cats, and then after university, back to dogs again. Add in a dose of ‘90s nostalgia around dating, marriage expectations, and how social media has warped what we think relationships should look like today. Plus, a quick PSA: the frontal lobe finally finishes developing in your mid-20s.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of alcoholism, cancer, and the loss of a parent.
