Welcome to Gen X Today

Generation X (born 1965–1980) is the bridge generation. We grew up recording songs off the radio in an analog world, and today we are the ones building and running the digital one—balancing changing careers, growing kids, and aging parents.

Gen X Today is a field guide for right now, not a nostalgia trap. I built it to cut through the daily noise with practical midlife wellbeing (without the “woo-woo”), honest takes on work and modern resilience, and independent reviews of gigs, theatre, and travel.

The site began after a head and neck cancer diagnosis gave me a sudden reality check to stop waiting for “later.” Subscribing to the newsletter—or supporting the site—keeps Gen X Today 100% independent, directly helps cover ongoing medical and care costs, and puts any additional funds toward head and neck cancer awareness and research.
