Episode 23-Lost Purpose: The Hidden Struggle of Young Men Today with guest Joanna Lilley
*Adult themes, specifically suicide, are mentioned in this episode.
Why are so many young men losing their sense of purpose—and quietly checking out of life? Writer, speaker, and Therapeutic Consultant Joanna Lilley joins Andrew Taylor to explore the cultural, relational, and technological forces shaping this generation of young men. From shifting ideas of value and identity to the addictive pull of screens and emerging AI, they unpack why it’s become easier to observe life than to fully live it. This conversation names the quiet crisis many young men face—and offers hope, clarity, and a call back to meaningful connection, purpose, and belonging.
