Our intention today: I hold myself accountable with love, not pressure. This episode explores the Stoic lesson to avoid burning the candle at both ends and to treat the mind like a muscle that needs rest.

Drawing on Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, we contrast tireless duty with balanced renewal and show why rest sharpens clarity, creativity, and resilience.

Practical takeaway: be patient, give yourself grace, take breaks, and return stronger — you and those around you will benefit.
