🎙️ Riding to Work in 2025: What Time Has Taught Us About What’s Next
In this solo episode, AnnMarie gets real about the silent urgency many Gen X professionals feel but rarely name: time is passing—and your current role may no longer fit who you’ve become.
Inspired by the 1997 Flaming Lips song "Riding to Work in the Year 2025", AnnMarie draws a sharp line from past to present to ask: Are you still commuting, still grinding, still waiting… while your real dreams stay parked?
Inside this episode:
Why 1997 feels like a lifetime ago—and how 2030 will be here faster than you think
The quiet crisis no one talks about: "This isn’t who I am anymore"
How one nurse practitioner is building her exit plan, 2 clients at a time
The high cost of “just two more years” when it’s eroding your energy, edge, and identity
Why your whisper isn’t a midlife crisis — it’s clarity
Plus: 3 low-risk steps to start exploring your “next” without quitting or going public.
If you've been telling yourself “I’ll get to it later,” this is your sign to stop waiting.
Because the truth is —
You’re not who you were in 1997.
Your career shouldn’t pretend you are.
