Stay ConnectedMen and women in midlife are drawn to Mary Rogers’ honest take on the experiences of the empty nest, aging parents, spending an inheritance, dating and sex, travel, downsizing things, trashing bad habits and figuring out who you want to be now that you really are all almost grow up.
The podcast is always smart, usually funny, and occasionally painfully real in speaking to the cusp of GenX and Baby Boomers.

Manhattan was just one of several films released during our teenage years which glamourized sexual relationships between teenage girls and much older men. What was the impact on our age of women, coming of age in that environment?
