No one knows the pain and suffering of losing a parent until it happens to them.

In today’s episode, Eve Simon, founder and co-host of the GenX Stories Podcast joins Will to not only share her love of being a member of the best generation there is but also what it’s like to lose a parent.

Listen as she tells of her close relationship with her father, how his death impacted her role as an only child, and how grateful she is to him for having his finances in order prior to his death.

Reminisce about your childhood, while facing truths about your present as Eve discusses:

• How so many Gen Xers are ‘sandwiched’ between looking after children and their aging parents, and what that means for their lifestyle and relationships
  
• The parallel experiences shared by Gen Xers across different regions and backgrounds
  
• How attending her 25th college reunion spurred the GenX Stories Podcast
  
• The importance of having close-knit relationships to help you through ‘mid-life’ experiences like divorce, or the death of a parent
  
• Why you need to have a conversation surrounding estate planning with your folks 
  
• And more
