In this episode we interview Melissa Capurro and dive deep into the principles of stoicism, the impact of social media, and the importance of taking action even when the path ahead isn't clear.

She emphasizes the power of responding over reacting, where reactions often stem from the ego while responses come from our true selves.

Melissa also touches on how social media can set unrealistic expectations, urging listeners to use it intentionally rather than getting caught in the trap of mindless scrolling.

The conversation also explores the vulnerability required to ask for help, reminding us that everyone's struggles are valid in the human experience.

Lastly, Melissa encourages taking "messy action"—moving forward even when the exact steps aren't clear, focusing on who you want to become rather than getting stuck in the details.
