When Meaning Has No Map

This episode sits with the lived experience of loneliness, loss of meaning, and the sense that there is no clear way to navigate life—a feeling of living without a map. While the reflection looks closely at the inner lives of men and how these struggles often show up, the conversation is intentionally offered for all identities. Many of the themes explored speak to deeply human experiences that everyone can identify with.
Beginning with a contemplative reflection on time, space, and becoming, the episode widens the frame beyond individual symptoms and looks toward the broader cultural and existential conditions shaping how many of us live today.
Drawing from existential philosophy and lived clinical experience, the conversation explores freedom, responsibility, and the creative work of self-authorship—how a way forward can begin to emerge not from external answers, but from sustained contact with one’s inner life.
The Existential Lens is hosted by Evan Kaufman, a psychotherapist in Eugene, Oregon, working with individuals and couples from an existential-humanistic perspective. More at evankaufman.org.
