Episode 11 (Part 3): Loneliness in Loud Times, Young Adults & College Students

Episode 11 (Part 3): Loneliness in Loud Times, Young Adults & College Students Young adulthood is often described as a season of excitement, discovery, and new beginnings. For many, it’s the first time stepping into independence—whether that means walking onto a college campus, entering the workforce, or trying to figure out what the next chapter of life will look like. But beneath the excitement, many young adults are quietly navigating another experience: loneliness. In this episode of The Bad, The Ugly, The Good in Healing U, Dr. Jenita Griffin (Doc G) explores how loneliness is showing up in the lives of young adults and college students today. From the pressure of comparison on social media to the emotional challenges of finding belonging in unfamiliar spaces, many young people are searching for connection while trying to understand who they are becoming. In this conversation we discuss: • The hidden loneliness many young adults experience • Why social media can amplify feelings of comparison and isolation • The emotional transition from adolescence to independence • The pressure to have life “figured out” in early adulthood • The importance of building authentic and meaningful connections This episode continues the Loneliness in Loud Times series, exploring how loneliness affects different stages of life—from children and teens, to young adults, and even marriage. If you’ve ever felt surrounded by people yet still emotionally disconnected, this conversation reminds us that you are not alone in that experience. Be good to you. Expect great things for you. — Dr. Jenita Griffin (Doc G) The Bad, The Ugly, The Good in Healing U
