GenX Finances, Smells like Teen Spirit, Canada's Education Goals, and No Sleep Tonight

More financially educated than Baby Boomers, but less so than Millennials; GenX has found their way into a vast range of high paying careers, and have earned (and spent) an exuberant amount of money. Today Kavaughn Boismier from Meridian Credit Union joins me to discuss the unique challenges this cohort is facing and how to navigate through it all. For parents of teens there is often nothing more frustrating than when a teens intentions and execution don’t align. So how do you manage it without blowing your top? Aly Pain, What She Said’s own expert on all things adolescence joins me to discuss how to manage this very tricky scenario without losing your cool and encouraging your teen to keep going. Anne Brodie is in with this week’s new releases which includes a look at a new documentary on the legendary Buffy Ste. Marie, plus the funny and heart wrenching Ray & Raymond starring Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke, plus the Good Nurse with Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne, and the Peripheral, a new series on Amazon which envisions a somewhat brighter future. Dr. Prachi Srivastava is back to discuss education in Canada and this week we take a look at where Canada sits on a global stage and what we should be striving for right now when it comes to 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. I replay an interview this week that I did last year around this time with the one and only Melissa Dilkes Pateras who skyrocketed to over a million followers on TikTok sharing laundry hacks. Who knew laundry could be so compelling? Finally, Ottawa native Steph LaRochelle pops by to discuss her debut album Wildflower and to share the single No Sleep Tonight with us.
