Do you feel like you're truly in charge of your emotions? It’s a question that can catch even the most reflective among us off-guard. Often, we feel as if our emotions are these wild, untamable forces that arise without our consent. We fear that adopting something like Stoicism might strip away the intensity of those feelings, leaving us like empty shells. But what if getting a handle on our emotions could help us experience them more deeply, rather than less?

“The only journey is the one within.”

This weeks episode is an interview with one of my listeners, Sean Sarazan. Sean has a unique story about how he has put Stoicism into action. After decades of dealing with a recurring health issue, he made the dramatic decision to have his leg amputated. For many this decision would be devastating, but Sean, a practicing Stoic, was well prepared to deal with the changes and has found strength in facing the challenge. Join me as we talk about how he prepared for this decision and how he came out the other side.

In this week episode I had an engaging and wide ranging conversation with J.R. Martinez. J.R. is a motivational speaker, actor, and entertainer. J.R is also an Iraqi war veteran, who suffered from injuries from a roadside bomb burning over 40% of his body with significant scarring on his face and head. The road to recovery was long and challenging, but J.R. took the lessons he learned and turned them to his advantage. He auditioned for All My Children for a small role that later expanded into a 3 year stint. In 2011 he went on Dancing with the Stars and ended up winning the top trophy that year. He has spoken to audiences all over the world with his story of perseverance and how to turned challenges into opportunities for growth.

Do you suffer from anxiety? Do you often feel overwhelmed by the complexity of life? In this episode I want to talk about anxiety and how Stoicism can help us understand and deal with it, helping us to live a more relaxed and enjoyable life. 

“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside.”
