About this episode

The episode discusses how Gen Z attributes their life challenges to their parents and explores differing work ethics within families.

Are your parents really to blame for the way your life turned out? We unpack a new study claiming Gen Z is pointing the finger at mum and dad for everything from bad relationships to low motivation, before Ricki shares why she and her much younger sister ended up with completely different work ethics despite growing up in the same family.
