In this episode, Mark and Katherine are joined by the Patriarch of the Redlus family - Howard Redlus (AKA "DR") - to discuss the uniquely challenging and trying year he had in 2021. 

DR shares how he was "put back into the game" after years of retirement, the incredible challenges and sleepless nights he had this entire past year and what helped him get through it all. 

This conversation covers a wide variety of tools and perspectives from DR, including: 

• The power of journaling for decades and how that can comfort you during hard times. 
• How challenging times can improve your spiritual life. 
• The danger in feeling like you need to be "up" all the time and how to be authentic instead. 
• How to nourish your mind when going through difficulty. 
• Cultivating a support system. 
• Belief in a higher power. 

Finally, they discuss whether or not Stoicism challenges feeling vibrant and grateful.
