What happens when you start telling your story—not to impress anyone, but to finally feel like yourself?
In this episode of Gen X Crisis, Robert reconnects with writer and cultural commentator Dana DuBois for a wide-ranging, emotionally honest conversation about identity, parenting, and what it means to come of age again in your 50s.
Robert and Dana talk about writing as an act of survival, the risks of sharing personal stories in public, and how Gen X shaped the cities and culture they now barely recognize. Dana opens up about navigating her father’s dementia, and launching GenXy, a new media brand built to give voice to a generation that’s too often overlooked.
There’s talk of perma-adolescence, modern female artists, generational disconnect, and the deep need for meaning in midlife—plus a little Seattle nostalgia, parenting chaos, and the unexpected clarity that comes from finally owning your truth.
