In this episode, we explore the timeless Stoic lesson that true freedom lies in accepting what we can’t control—echoed powerfully in the life and art of Frida Kahlo.

Drawing parallels between Epictetus’s teachings and Kahlo’s indomitable spirit, we see how even when life confines our bodies, our will can still soar.

The Stoic philosophers understood something timeless about human nature: we spend much of our lives outside the present moment.

We worry about the future, regret the past, and overlook the only time we ever truly possess—now.

Among the Stoics, Seneca in particular had a clear warning: do not waste time.

In this episode, we look at what Stoicism has to say about resisting the urge for revenge and reclaiming our inner freedom.

With help from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Diogenes, we examine why retaliation degrades us and how self-mastery is a better path to strength. Instead of reacting impulsively to harm or misfortune, we can learn to respond with integrity, turning adversity into opportunities to build character.
