#348 Stoic Flow Thursday: Yes, You Can Cry—Even as a Stoic 😭

“I Cry for Everything… and I’m Still Learning to Be Okay With That”

Your son gets the highest award in school. You feel proud. And suddenly—you’re crying in front of everyone. In this episode, Manuel gets real about happy tears, proud tears, and the old story that “men don’t cry.” He explores how Stoic wisdom gives us permission to feel deeply, without shame—and why strength and emotion can coexist.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Crying is a human reaction—not a Stoic failure

✅ Stoicism is about managing emotion, not avoiding it

✅ Seneca and Epictetus allowed space for grief and joy

✅ Strength is shown in presence, not in emotional shutdown

✅ Men feel deeply too—and that’s not a flaw
