Episode 18 - GenX Speaks Series: Kendall's Story

02/05/25 • 151 min

In this episode of our GenX Speaks series, we welcome Kendall. Kendall opens with painting a picture of her almost “Hallmark” type upbringing on a Christmas tree farm in Beavercreek, Oregon where she spent time with her large extended family. She describes how she felt “taken” when her family moved to fulfill her dad’s dream of always living in Alaska, and shares with us what it was like to spend a good portion of her formative years growing up in a small town in the middle of Alaska. College aspirations landed her in the idyllic town of Ashland, Oregon, where she made many friends, including Brian and Nicole. Balancing her social life and studying became a challenge, which led to Kendall eventually dropping out of school. Looking back, she suspects some of her academic issues during that time were related to undiagnosed ADHD. Kendall is gracious enough to give us a window into the trauma she endured during her marriage, and her subsequent divorce. We touch on her new beginning in a new home and her current journey that is beyond impressive and inspiring. We loved having Kendall in the studio and look forward to her next guest appearance!

Episode 17 - GenZ Women Series: Brooke

In episode 17 we welcome Brooke, a GenZ woman who was gracious enough to share the twists and turns of her tumultuous childhood. We start in Dearborn, MI where Brooke was born, then head to southwest Florida, which becomes the backdrop to the instability of her childhood. She gives us glimpses into her mom, step-dad and biological dad’s alcoholism and substance abuse, then contrasts that with growing up in the Mormon Church. Her sophomore year in high school deserves its own episode alone. She tells us about the first and last time she ever lived with her biological dad, and reflects on how her step-dad became a source of stability for her. She proudly shares her mom and step-dad’s success of sobriety and the eventual healing of her relationship with them. In truth, we are touched by Brooke’s vulnerability in sharing the chaos of her formative years, and in awe of hearing about all she has accomplished today. We can’t wait to see where her life takes her now that she stands on her own foundation of strength and resolution, and look forward to hosting her again!
