Gen X grew up raising themselves. They were the latchkey kids. The independent ones. The generation that learned resilience early — figuring out homework, friendships, and disappointments without someone stepping in to fix it. Now they’re raising children in a completely different world. And caring for aging parents at the same time. In this episode, we unpack the unique psychological and emotional pressure facing Gen X — the generation quietly holding two worlds together. From navigating the realities of recession-era careers to parenting in the age of social media, Gen X isn’t just part of the sandwich generation… they may be experiencing the tightest squeeze of all. We explore: Why Gen X parents strive for warmth and resilience How growing up independent shaped their parenting philosophy The emotional weight of caring for aging parents The tension of translating between Boomers and Gen Z And why this generation carries more than most people realize This isn’t just about logistics — time, money, schedules. It’s about identity. Obligation. Breaking cycles without rejecting where you came from. If you’re Gen X and feeling stretched thin, this conversation will remind you: there’s a reason. You’re holding two generations at once. You are not alone. #GenX #SandwichGeneration #CaregiverSqueeze #ParentingToday #ModernParenting #AgingParents #FamilyDynamics #EmotionalResilience #AuthoritativeParenting #Midlife #InGoodCompany

What do people really misunderstand about hospice? What are families actually afraid of when they say, “We’re not ready”? And what would professionals want you to hear before a crisis hits? In this special episode of In Good Company, we spoke with more than a dozen attendees at the End-of-Life Care Summit in Springfield, Missouri, asking them to respond as if they were talking to a family member, not a clinician. The result is honest, compassionate, deeply human insight from the people who walk alongside patients and families every day. From misconceptions about “giving up” to powerful stories of comfort, clarity, and peace, this episode brings together real voices answering the questions many families are afraid to ask. If you or someone you love will one day face these decisions, this conversation is for you. Because understanding hospice before you need it changes everything. #InGoodCompanyPodcast #HospiceCare #EndOfLifeCare #HospiceEducation #Caregiving #FamilyCaregivers #SeriousIllness #AdvanceCarePlanning #PalliativeCare #HealthcareConversations #DeathPositive #HealthcareLeadership #HospiceFoundationForOutreach #BeforeItsTooLate
