Millennials, Boomers, and the Struggle to Be Understood
What Millennials Wish Boomers Knew About Mental Health & Expectations
For decades, each generation has had its complaints about the one that came before. But when it comes to mental health, wellness, and the weight of expectations, the disconnect between millennials and boomers feels particularly stark.
In the latest episode of Okay Boomer, we sit down with Valerie Beck, a holistic wellness coach, to unpack the generational divide on mental health, success, and breaking harmful cycles.
🔹 Why do millennials place such a high priority on mental health?
🔹 How did events like 9/11 and economic instability reshape their outlook on life?
🔹 Are millennials truly "whiny," or are they exposing deeper societal shifts?
🔹 What do they wish boomers understood about generational trauma and resilience?
Valerie offers personal insights, research findings, and a hopeful perspective on how both generations can better understand each other. Whether you're a millennial navigating these struggles or a boomer trying to make sense of it all, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

It’s everything the Outrage Overload podcast is not. It’s not edited. It’s not scripted. It’s lightly researched. It’s David and Lisa talking about this week in outrage, what was in the news, in the memes, and maybe finding some backstory with a humorous (at least to us) twist.
