You might be wondering why you aren’t happier, where your career is going, or feeling adrift without a clear sense of direction. You’re asking, “How do I figure out what I’m even supposed to be doing?”


If you feel that familiar knot of confusion, dissatisfaction, or just plain stuckness, you've just found your kindred spirits.


This is The Gen X/Z Exchange. Where a Gen X dad and his Gen Z daughter bridge the generational divide to tackle modern life’s biggest headaches.


These aren't just your problems, they're the unspoken struggles of an entire generation - or two!


You're not alone in battling the quiet anxieties of a life that feels off-kilter. Happiness can be hard to find. Perhaps concerns about your mental and physical wellbeing are always bubbling away. Your most important relationships might feel strained, or the relentless demands of your career and finances are leaving you exhausted. These are the universal whispers that, surprisingly, span generations. We can help you untangle all this.


Chris has navigated layoffs, career pivots and found happiness after the infamous midlife slump, while Lily is figuring out her career after changing her degree path and reflecting on her early choices in the world of work. Our different generational viewpoints bring new ideas to tackling the big issues we’re both grappling with.


We chat about all this with honesty, realism and the openness a father-daughter relationship brings.


Our candid conversations will help you realise that you’re not alone in feeling this way too. You’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical insights, and the comforting realisation that many of your worries are universal – and solvable.


We’ll get to the heart of your frustrations, offering solutions we figure out together that you won't find anywhere else.

    The Gen X/Z Exchange: episode preview
    Jul 9 2025

    We are excited to finally be launching The Gen X/Z Exchange!

    Welcome to this sneak peek of our four launch episodes, which will drop next week.

    Episode 1: Am I having a midlife/quarterlife crisis?

    In this episode, you’ll get a better understanding of why you might be feeling lost or dissatisfied.

    If you’re Gen X, we unpick some of the myths about the stereotypical ‘midlife crisis’ and, if you’re Gen Z, we’ll look at the newer ‘quarterlife’ crisis.

    Episode 2: How to tell if you’ve got Imposter Syndrome - and what to do about it

    In this episode we unpack just how common Imposter Syndrome is - across both generations.

    You’ll learn the five main types of Imposter Syndrome, what causes it, how to reframe it and what you can do to face down any imposters you have.

    Episode 3: Bad bosses: why are they like that and what to do if you have one!

    In this episode, we swap stories about some experiences with bad bosses and also look at the very real impact they can have on engagement and productivity.

    You’ll learn what might cause people to become bad bosses, what to do when working for one is seriously impacting you, and how to deal with it on a day-to-day basis while you figure out what to do next.

    Episode 4: The Gen X/Z Quiz - how much do you know about the other generation?

    A fun and light-hearted quiz, with our first guest on the show! Ten questions each, four rounds:

    1. Popular culture (TV, movies and music)
    2. Historic events
    3. Youth culture
    4. Life and tech

    You’ll get all the questions for your own generation right, but how much do you know about the other generation’s formative years?

    Among other things, you’ll hear Gen X completely flummoxed by which rapper got shot when, and confusion for Gen Z over date format, leading to a huge misunderstanding about a big Gen X historic event.

    Hit follow to make sure you get all these episodes as soon as they’re released!
