Seven generations. One unspoken wound. What happens when they finally sit at the same table?
The Silent Generation learned to endure because they lived through economic collapse and world war. Baby Boomers learned to build institutions because they grew up in a time of expansion. Gen X learned self-reliance because they were latchkey kids, home alone while both parents worked. Millennials learned to seek professional help because therapy finally became acceptable. Gen Z learned to speak up because they watched what silence cost the generations before them. And Gen Alpha? They're learning not to carry it at all.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why every generation carries what the others are missing
- The tension between different generational approaches to healing
- What the Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha each bring to the table
- Why we need each other to break the cycle
- What happens when generational worlds collide — and how that collision becomes collaboration
The cycle doesn't break when one generation wins. It breaks when we finally sit at the same table and learn from each other.
