Carly & Victoria are 80’s babies and 90’s childhoods….so the slang and vibe of today’s TikTok generation is admittedly confusing to say the least. Luckily they have the BEST Gen Z source to help them stay relevant, Julia Barbier. Julia is Carly’s coveted babysitter for her 3 children. This relationship started when Carly taught Julia dance at Carmela’s Dance Studio, now Julia is a teacher there! She is majoring in Early Education and Special Education at West Chester University and she has her first 2 students in this chat on Gen Z slang and how to stay “cool.”Good luck, Julia!—————Real Tip of the Day: Phone a Friend!Grab a family member or friend of the younger Gen Z generation and have a conversation with them. Learn their language, ask them why, and try to understand what is “cool” these days. It’s fun, its interesting, and it helps keep everyone involved in the conversation! As Julia says, “stay woke.”Lets make it EXTRA! Do Whatever You Want!Do whatever you want to do! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Learn the language, learn the rules, learn the vibes…but in the end, you stay true to you and you’re doing it right!————If you want to workout with us, at home or in person, check us out www.CFITfitness.com We would love to have you join the CFIT Community :)Follow us for updates, inspiration, and ridiculousness!Instagram: @fittoberealpodcast Instagram/Facebook/Tik Tok @cfitfitness
