  • So It Goes
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode, we dig into the meaning behind Kurt Vonnegut’s famous line “so it goes” and how it’s more than just a catchphrase.


    Drawing from Slaughterhouse-Five, Stoic ideas, and the book The Courage to Be Disliked, we talk about how accepting what we can’t control can actually help us take better control of what we can.

  • Strong Enough To Ask For Help
    Jun 18 2025

    In this episode, we explore the life and teachings of Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher born into slavery who found unshakable strength from within.


    His story reminds us that while true resilience begins in the mind, Stoicism also embraces the power of connection, encouraging us not just to endure, but to give and receive support as part of a greater whole.

    I try to answer this question each week in different ways.


    For this episode, however, I wanted to step back and provide a more general overview. I hope you find it useful!
