This podcast was inspired by an average American GenX mom going down a rabbit hole of 80s music videos with her Gen Z kids. It got me thinking about the concept of nostalgia…and what I’ve learned over the years about why our teen years make such an impression on us for life. 

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about:

• The “reminiscence bump”
• How your view of history and the future influence your decision making 
• How to use the bumps to bring more fun into your life
