Hey there, my fabulous Gen X sister! Let’s talk about us—the generation of superwomen who were told we could “do it all”… and then some! Somewhere between shoulder pads, cassette tapes, and the dot-com boom, we took that message to heart. Now we’re CEOs, moms, GlamMas, mentors, trendsetters, and let’s be real, a little tired.
A work-life balance expert said it best: we got the worst of both worlds. We’re the generation that grew up with high expectations, rose to the challenge, and somehow became both traditional and modern—all at the same time. We’ve been told to work like we don’t have families and raise families like we don’t have jobs. So here we are, caught in the middle, balancing it all like pros but feeling like it’s never enough.
The “Do It All” Dilemma
Look, we all know the drill: do the work, take care of family, stay in shape, look fabulous, and maybe sneak in a little me-time. But sometimes, it feels like we're the main event in a circus! We’ve got careers that we crushed, families that we love, and passions we’re pursuing—and in the middle of it all, we’re navigating new frontiers like being GlamMas and still going strong.
Remember when we were young, free, and living in the golden age of MTV? No responsibilities, just big dreams? Fast forward to now, and we’re still rocking it out but with so much more on our plates. We’re the original multitaskers. But while we’re carrying the weight of generations before and after us, it’s time to acknowledge that maybe we deserve a little breather. (No shame in a mini-spa day, ladies!)
We Are Not Your Average Moms—We’re GlamMas!
We’re not just doing drop-offs in yoga pants and ponytails. Nope, we’re out here jet-setting, looking fabulous, and giving “GlamMa” a whole new meaning. We still like to look hot, feel good, and live life to the fullest! And honey, that’s why they call us GlamMas.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment. It’s about taking what you’ve got and making it fabulous.”
We’re still rocking cool tees, trendy blazers, and sleek joggers that say, I’ve still got it. Because we do! Being a Gen X woman means redefining what it looks like to live vibrantly—whether we’re running a business, traveling with our girls, or sharing laughs with the grandkids.
The Truth About “Doing It All”
Remember when being a “supermom” was the goal? Well, we became superwomen—but the truth is, we can’t do it all, all the time, and look fabulous doing it without some help. We’re the generation that learned to be self-sufficient, which sometimes makes it hard to ask for help. But asking for help doesn’t make us less; it makes us smarter.
We need to remember to lean on each other and lift each other up! Yes, we’re still crushing goals and looking good while doing it, but let’s also make sure we’re asking for what we need and prioritizing ourselves. Because, honey, life is about feeling amazing, and that includes taking care of you.
Here’s to Living Our Best Lives
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
We’ve got dreams, big ones! Maybe for you, it’s building an empire, spoiling the grandkids, or planning a girls’ trip to Cabo. Whatever it is, we’re Gen X women who’ve proven that we’re not stopping anytime soon. So here’s a little advice from one friend to another: keep dreaming, keep slaying, and keep looking fabulous. You’ve earned it.
Life may throw curveballs, but here’s to laughing, leaning on each other, and making this season the best one yet. We’re living proof that you can be stylish, powerful, and unstoppable—because honey, we are the dream.
So, next time someone asks how we do it all, let’s just smile and say, “I’m a Gen X woman—I make it happen.”
