Excited to listen to this podcast and to listen to your conversation as a guest in the other podcast. You’ve given us a lot of good links to explore here, Nina. Thank you! I agree with the wisdom of making friends in other generations. This was such a lifeline when I was an expat and I’ve kept it up in the US, too. This first happened by accident as I was the only mom of little kids in my adult German course after we moved back. Then I frequently found myself the only “elder millennial” in my online writing groups. I love it! My peers see me as just me, outside the roles I have with so many other people in my life. These kinds of friendships are one of my quickest ways “in” to feeling most like myself.
