Confessions of a Gen-X Mind: Culture, Media Literacy, and Personal Growth
Confessions of a Gen-X Mind is a podcast about media, culture, identity, mental health, and personal growth told through the perspective of someone who grew up analog and now lives in the algorithm age.
Hosted by George Ten Eyck, the show blends personal storytelling with cultural commentary to explore how family systems, media narratives, religion, technology, and generational experience shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.
Episodes often examine topics like media literacy, inherited roles within families, neurodivergence, boundaries, worldview shifts, and the long process of seeing our lives more clearly as we move into adulthood and midlife.
Rather than offering quick fixes or motivational clichés, Confessions of a Gen-X Mind focuses on awareness, perspective, and integration. It is about recognizing patterns without bitterness, honoring what was good, accepting what never was, and building forward with clarity.
This is a podcast for thoughtful listeners navigating identity, relationships, cultural change, and the strange transition from an analog childhood into a digital world shaped by algorithms.
New episodes explore ongoing themes through personal reflection, media analysis, and generational perspective. The goal is simple: slow down, think clearly, and make sense of a complicated world.
