Enduring the Dark: A Stoic's Guide to Holding On

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast, where the echoes of stoic wisdom guide us through the labyrinth of our lives. I’m your host, Patrick Cullen. Today, I want to speak to those of you standing on the edge of despair, to those who feel like the weight of the world has finally crushed whatever was left of your hope. This is not an episode for the faint-hearted. It’s for the broken, the lost, and the weary. If you're here, maybe it's because you’ve asked yourself that question, the one that so many fear to voice: "Why should I keep on living?"

The Quiet Struggle

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast. I’m Patrick Cullen. Today, I want to talk about an old, familiar presence in our lives: temptation.

Temptation is no stranger to us. It’s been with us from the start, a companion on this long journey we call life. We meet it again and again, each time in a different guise, but always with the same intent. It whispers promises of ease, of comfort, of a moment’s reprieve from the weight of our burdens. But those promises are rarely kept.

The Weight of Memory: A Stoic Reflection on Childhood, Escapism and Responsibility


Welcome to another episode of the Copinghagen Podcast, where we delve into the timeless teachings of Stoic philosophy to navigate the complexities of modern life. I'm your host, Patrick Cullen, and today, we embark on a deeply personal and melancholic journey—a journey that explores the shadows of our past, the weight of memory, and the struggle to reconcile with the present.


This episode is a meditation on childhood, the escape into fantasy, and the harsh reality that comes with adulthood. Through the lens of Stoicism, we will explore the themes of identity, responsibility, and the human condition, with echoes of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus guiding us through this narrative.


This is not just a story—it’s a reflection on the choices we make, the burdens we carry, and the eventual realisation that, despite it all, we are the architects of our own lives.

Concrete Dancing: Breaking Free of Loneliness with Stoicism

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast, where stoic philosophy guides you through the maze of modern life. I'm Patrick Cullen.

Today, we dive into the heart of a profound human experience - loneliness. That hollow echo within us, where the voices of others seem to fade into whispers, and our own voice struggles to break through the silence.

Loneliness. Feeling alone. Unable to open up. Feeling locked in. Standing still, though you can hear the music’s beat, wanting to dance but paralyzed, with feet like concrete. These moments can consume us, trapping us in a cage of our own making.

Ego and Insecurity: A Stoic Path to True Confidence

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast, where we navigate the tumultuous seas of modern life with the ancient wisdom of stoic philosophy. I’m Patrick Cullen, your host, and today we’ll be exploring a deeply personal and often misunderstood aspect of our lives: the ego.

Ego. The word itself conjures images of arrogance, self-importance, and hubris. But beneath this façade often lies a different story—a story of insecurity, self-doubt, and the struggle for self-worth. In our quest to protect our fragile self-esteem, we can sometimes inflate our ego to shield ourselves from the world. This defense mechanism, while well-intentioned, can ironically lead to the creation of a selfish, unapproachable image, alienating us from others and from our true selves.
