Joined by her son Kellen, a millennial himself, they explore how this generation's experience is distinct from those of Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Generation Z.

The episode concludes with a call for thoughtful online engagement and a recognition of the power of the internet to connect and inform.
Listeners are left with a deeper understanding of the complexities millennials face in a digital world, and the potential these experiences have in shaping future technological and social landscapes.
