In this episode the host affirms conscious, grounded decision-making and reflects on a Daily Stoic reading from Marcus Aurelius that invites us to see the world like a poet and an artist.

Using vivid images—from ripe olives falling to the cracks in baked bread—the episode explores how Marcus's language (shaped by his teacher Fronto) helps us find beauty and harmony in ordinary or difficult moments, shifting our mindset from negativity to gratitude.
