The Stoics didn’t pretend anxiety didn’t exist—they faced it head-on. But instead of fearing uncertainty, they trained their minds to focus on what’s within their power. In today’s episode, we explore a modern take on the Stoic approach to anxiety, skipping the gloom and leaning into response-based confidence.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Anxiety stems from trying to control the uncontrollable

✅ Stoicism teaches us to shift our focus inward—toward action, not outcome

✅ You don’t need to imagine disaster to be prepared

✅ Visualize how you respond to challenge, not just success

✅ Inner stability is built through presence, not prediction

Stoic Thursday: The Trap of Victim Culture

In today’s episode, we look at the rise of victim culture—where pain becomes identity and personal responsibility takes a back seat.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Victimhood becomes limiting when it becomes identity
✅ Stoicism teaches freedom through internal control
✅ Emotional resilience comes from self-mastery, not others’ approval
✅ Modern outrage culture thrives on fragility
✅ The less we expect from others, the more power we gain
