Concerns or Problems? How the Stoic Philosophy Influences Us...
In today's episode, we dive deep into Stoic philosophy: what it really means, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s so valuable in the messy realities of everyday life.We talk about building emotional resilience, separating concerns from problems, and making intentional choices instead of letting life’s curveballs derail you. We share how Stoic principles show up in real-world situations like holiday meals, unexpected setbacks, and even those little moments when intrusive thoughts whisper, “buy a cake and eat it in the car.”We unpack wisdom, courage, justice, temperance, and the simple-but-not-easy pause that can change the outcome of any situation. If you’ve struggled with reactive decisions, perfectionism, or attaching your self-worth to external validation, this conversation is for you."Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same thing.”- Amy Rudolph“Very few problems are made worse with a walk.”- Iris Deadlifts“It’s not inevitable that you’re gonna enter the Thanksgiving dinner and just eat half a pie by yourself.
