Points of Failure
Welcome to the Points of Failure podcast, where we talk about the quiet ways things break down, and what it actually means to take responsibility without losing yourself.
Through conversations with others and topical episodes, we examine the patterns behind failure in work, relationships, identity, and decision-making, without shortcuts or easy answers.
Whether you’re reflecting on past mistakes, wrestling with something unresolved, or noticing a pattern you can’t ignore anymore, each episode is an invitation to look honestly at what went wrong, and what comes next.

S4E27 - Social Atrophy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode, I explore the idea of social atrophy.
Not as a flaw in who we are, but as something that develops when we spend less and less time engaging with the people around us.
I talk about how modern life makes it easy to withdraw, why awkwardness and uncertainty are normal parts of interaction, and how avoiding those moments can slowly make connection feel harder than it actually is.
If you’ve ever felt out of practice socially, noticed yourself pulling back from people, or wondered why connection sometimes feels more difficult than it used to, this episode is for you.
We hope you enjoy this one.
