Remember sitting in that tiny office in high school — being told what you should be when you grew up?
Teacher. Nurse. Accountant. Police officer.
(And if you were ambitious? Maybe a lawyer or banker — but only if you “fit the mold.”)
Let’s be real: your guidance counselor didn’t see you.
They saw a stereotype. A statistic.
And a career path that worked for them — not you.
And now, decades later, many of us are waking up and realizing…
We’ve been living someone else’s plan.
This episode is for every GenXer who:
Followed the rules (and now feels trapped by them)
Chose the “right” path — but can’t shake the whisper that there’s something more
Is wondering if it’s too late to start a new chapter (spoiler: it’s not)
🔥 In this episode:
How the system trained GenX to follow — not choose — our paths
Why we’ve hit a wall mid-career, and what to do next
Real examples of GenXers rediscovering what lights them up
The ONE question you need to start asking yourself right now
And the truth: You are your own guidance counselor now.
It’s time to rewrite the plan.
Not based on a checklist.
But on who you’ve become.
🎧 Listen now — and then tell us:
If you could go back and ask for something else… what would it be?
