Ever feel like your social media feed is pulling you in every direction – leaving you frustrated, anxious, or even questioning your beliefs?
It’s not by accident. Platforms are designed to:
1. Hack your attention with sensational content.
2. Feed you more of what triggers you emotionally.
3. Keep you online so they can gather data and sell ads.
For Boomers & Gen X ready to build a meaningful online business, awareness is power. If we can recognize how algorithms play with our emotions, we can step back, protect our mental health, and create content that uplifts, informs, and earns.
What’s one step you’ve taken to control what shows up on your feed?

💭 Have you ever wondered if retirement could be more than just “slowing down”?
For many Boomers and Gen X, it’s the perfect season to turn decades of experience into an online business. But where do you even start?
Here are 5 practical steps to prepare:
1️⃣ Define Your Why – Are you looking for extra income, a creative outlet, or simply a way to stay active and connected? Knowing your “why” will guide your choices.
2️⃣ Take Stock of Your Skills – Think about the strengths you’ve built over a lifetime. From leadership to teaching to crafting, your offline skills can thrive online.
3️⃣ Learn the Digital Basics – You don’t need to be a tech wizard. Start with email, video calls, or one social platform. Small steps add up.
4️⃣ Start Small & Simple – Test one idea first. Offer a service, share knowledge, or sell a product. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s momentum.
5️⃣ Find a Supportive Community – Going solo is hard. Being part of a like-minded group makes learning easier and more enjoyable.
The truth is, it’s never “too late” to begin. You already have the wisdom and experience — now it’s about packaging it for the digital world.
Stay curious. Stay connected. Save this post or share it with someone you know.

4. The offer tweaks that made the biggest difference

We see it every week inside The Grey Wave—imperfect action is what builds momentum.
🚶♀️ Small step idea: Share one piece of content this week—even if it’s not “ready.”
We’ll cheer you on—and help you build from there.
