Failure to Launch

A candid discussion of the roots of anxiety, alienation, and social isolation among younger adult populations.

Let’s discuss the rise of anxiety, alienation, and social isolation among younger adult populations as those concerns link to such factors as social media, student debt, a tight job market, and coming of age during the pandemic.


In the May 17 episode of Tell Me More, the podcast of courageous conversations, Matt Lehrman’s guests are college senior and political activist Camden Robertson, executive coach Chip Webster, and Dr. Kristen Allott, a naturopathic physician, national speaker, and pioneering advocate for the use of whole foods nutrition in the treatment of mental health disorders.
