Stoic Wellbeing

Do you ever go blank or start rambling when someone puts you on the spot? 

I created a free Conversation Cheat Sheet with simple formulas you can use so you can respond with clarity, whether you’re in a meeting or just talking with friends.

Download it at sarahmikutel.com/blanknomore and start feeling more confident in your conversations today.

Do you wish you cared less about what other people think? That you were less anxious and more comfortable putting yourself out there? That you could take faster (or any) action on your dreams? 

Then welcome to Stoic Wellbeing.

On this show, I share Stoic and other wellbeing practices to help you thrive and live with arete — with excellence — so you can better yourself, your community, and your world at large. 

I’m your host, Sarah Mikutel, an American in England who uses Stoicism to help my coaching clients become more present, productive, and open-hearted. And I’m here to help you, too.

This show isn’t a deep dive into Stoic theory and academic texts. Stoic Wellbeing is focused on putting Stoic theory into practice with exercises and inspirational stories to help you flourish; develop your character; and to live as your highest self. Not just for you, but also for all those around you, everyone you influence, and for the greater community. 

A lot of us say we want more meaning in our lives. To be part of something greater than ourselves. To feel more connected to other people and the universe. This begins with becoming more connected with who WE are and more self aware of what’s unconsciously motivating us. 

Go ahead and follow this show if you’re a globally-minded citizen who’s ready to live a calmer, kinder, more connected life. 

❤️

Hello! I'm your host, Sarah Mikutel. But the real question is, who are you? Where are you now and where do you want to be? Can I help you get there?

The end of the year is a time for reflection: What went right? What went wrong? What could I have handled better? Questions that Stoics ask themselves every evening.

It’s also the time of year that we see round ups of popular news stories, though 2020 often felt like we heard of nothing other than Covid-19 and the U.S. presidential election, and sometimes Brexit. 

Many stories slipped through the cracks, including the 75th anniversary of the end of World War 2.


We throw around the word nazi so casually now -- grammar nazi, soup nazi -- but in our grandparents’ time, nazi nazis were taking over Europe in a murderous rampage. 

Mark Twain is often quoted as saying, “History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.” There’s no evidence he said that, but the sentiment stands: Never forget. We need to look back so we can understand the present and plan for a better future. 

Due to the pandemic, end-of-the-war commemorations were canceled around the world this year. I think the remembrance of what happened 75 years ago deserved a lot more coverage, and so this episode is my tribute to the men and women who fought the good fight. 

I recorded this episode a year and a half ago for my travel podcast, the Postcard Academy, around the anniversary of D-Day. I discuss several ways in which we can honor the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation. At one point, I talk about the importance of traveling more. Here’s hoping that wish comes true for all of us in 2021.



I wish you a happy, healthy, and safe New Year.
