In this episode of GenX Journeys, we’re diving into one of the most iconic Brat Pack films of the ‘80s—St. Elmo’s Fire! This classic film perfectly captures the chaos, confusion, and camaraderie of life after college, and believe it or not, there are some powerful life lessons tucked inside all the drama.
From shifting friendships to messy love, from defining success to stepping into the unknown, this movie still resonates decades later. And just like the characters in St. Elmo’s Fire, we’re all on our own journeys—figuring it out as we go.
✔️ How friendships evolve over time—and why that’s okay
✔️ The hard truth about love, relationships, and why some are only meant for a season
✔️ Success isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept—so what does it mean for you?
✔️ The pressure to have life all figured out—and why that’s a myth
✔️ Why you are exactly where you need to be right now—but you won’t stay here
This is one of the most fire-up episodes I’ve done yet (see what I did there?), so buckle up, hit play, and let’s break it all down.
