Is it possible to bring the best of the past into the chaos of today? In this heartfelt episode, we reflect on the innocence of 1978 and ask whether parts of that "golden era" still have something to teach us—especially in today’s fast-paced, divided world. As a parent raising three young children, Ann grapples with what kind of world she wants her kids to grow up in. Through memories of mall cafés, family moments, and generational change, we explore the tension between nostalgia and progress, the loss of simplicity, and the growing need for inclusion and awareness. Maybe those of us who lived through that quieter time are called to carry some of its goodness forward—not to recreate the past, but to gently weave its values into the present.
