GenX Journeys: Real-Life Lessons from St. Elmo’s Fire

In this episode of GenX Journeys, we’re diving into one of the
most iconic Brat Pack films of the ‘80s—St. Elmo’s Fire! This
classic film perfectly captures the chaos, confusion, and
camaraderie of life after college, and believe it or not, there
are some powerful life lessons tucked inside all the drama.


From shifting friendships to messy love, from defining success to
stepping into the unknown, this movie still resonates decades
later. And just like the characters in St. Elmo’s Fire, we’re all
on our own journeys—figuring it out as we go.
In This Episode, We’ll Cover:

️ How friendships evolve over time—and why that’s okay
️ The hard truth about love, relationships, and why some are only
meant for a season
️ Success isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept—so what does it mean
for you?
️ The pressure to have life all figured out—and why that’s a
myth
️ Why you are exactly where you need to be right now—but you
won’t stay here


This is one of the most fire-up episodes I’ve done yet (see what
I did there?), so buckle up, hit play, and let’s break it all
down.
