Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Eileen recalls a poignant moment between Gen X and younger generations, recognizing that we are all living life for the first time. That no matter our age or season, we are all human.

Our parents were detached and disappointed in our incredible ineptitude. (But was that necessarily our fault?)Listen for the Boston Family Vacation of 1976 that never was. Offering a glimpse into a childhood littered with insecurity, neglect, and manipulation. Support the showStrangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen Kelly and Produced by Ashley Aker.

This week Eileen and special guest Kimmi Berlin, founder and creator of the non-profit organization BuildUpBoys discuss parenting, mentoring, and nurturing boys. These two GenXers are all too familiar with the clear gender roles of generations past which is why they had so much fun criticizing cultural norms and challenging society's idea of what a man should or shouldn't be. Boys aren't bad, it isn't in their biology. We can nurture boys' ability to remain attuned to their emotions, love unabashedly, and communicate. Turns out boys will be boys... but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. BuildUpBoys serves boys from Pre-K through 6th grade. But also educate their parents, grandparents, caretakers, teachers, and coaches on why encouraging them to feel, express, and regulate their entire range of emotions is so important.

As a result, a fierce competitiveness finds its way into every aspect of his life. But as the years go on, Tim begins to question whether this winner-takes-all mentality is the healthiest way to live. Maybe there's a way that competition can bring out the best in all of us, regardless of who gets the gold medal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We first released this episode with Dolly Chugh more than a year ago, but it feels even more relevant today.Dolly is a social psychologist at NYU who studies how well-intentioned people deal with bias, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about the world. Her work challenges a deeply held belief: that being a “good person” is enough.In this conversation, Dolly explains why that mindset can actually hold us back, and why striving to be “good-ish” leads to real growth. She breaks down how unconscious bias works, why our understanding of history is often incomplete, and how those gaps affect the way we see the present. You'll also hear practical tools for grappling with uncomfortable truths without shutting down, including how to recognize simplified narratives, embrace contradictions, and keep improving without defensiveness.If you missed this episode the first time, it's worth revisiting.

Did we really LOVE the 90s or should we all take off our rose-tinted glasses?Remember when the only way to get ahold of someone who wasn't right next to you was through a landline?

Sexism and misogyny were the cultural norms and even though we were on our own, we experienced life unfiltered.Join Eileen and special guest Carey Reilly as they remember the 90s. A tumultuous love story and ode to a decade that was all that and a bag of chips.Support the showStrangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen Kelly and Produced by Ashley Aker.

Generation X has been called a lot of things. Cynical. Slackers. We might be cynical, but that's because we got shafted on so many levels. We parented ourselves. We were responsible for ourselves. We became the ones who carried the burden of the environment. We were held responsible for so many people and problems that were not our problems to solve. After decades of aching for change. It's safe to say we are exhausted. Support the showStrangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen Kelly and Produced by Ashley Aker.

What's the hardest part about being the main character in your own life? You're also writing the script as you go along. And sometimes it's hard to know when you need a scene change. Filmmaker Franklin Leonard encounters plenty of dramatic moments as he seeks to follow his creative dream. But those big moments, he comes to realize, aren't what will change him into the person he truly wants to be. Change happens not in an explosion or a sudden shift of scenery, but slowly, in moments of reflection, and sometimes after years of pleasing others. What matters is … it happens.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever heard an alcohol ad that tells you to “please drink responsibly”? Or a gambling ad that warns, "when the fun stops, stop”? Or been urged to reduce your carbon footprint?     The message is basically the same: These products and activities have risks. But mitigating them, well, that's on you. How did we get this idea that it's our personal responsibility to make a dent in big problems like climate change—and not the job of the government to impose regulations? That's the focus of the new book It's on You. Host Flora Lichtman talks with behavioral scientist and It's on You coauthor Nick Chater, about how he and his colleagues played a role in shaping a narrative of individual responsibility, and how to change it.  Guest: Dr. Nick Chater is a professor of behavioural science at Warwick University and coauthor of It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems.
