Today I Choose - The Female Stoic Podcast

Everyone

This short is taken from a longer session of The Female Stoic podcast where we discuss how we can empower ourselves in a stoic way. In the 18th Century, the Blue Stockings Society was an informal women's social and educational movement in England that emphasised education and mutual cooperation. (Hence the wig!) The Female Stoic Podcast looks at the Stoic Philosophy through a Bluestocking Lens. It offers practical, non-judgemental advice for women, with reference to the Female Literary Masters and the lessons they teach us. Your host, Stephanie Poppins, is a former high school teacher of English Literature and Philosophy, and considers herself to be a Natural Born Stoic.

Transcript

Hello and welcome to another short from the Female Stoic.

Today is all about affirmations,

Affirming our mission to protect our higher self.

To keep the walls about in a citadel high.

And therefore protect her in a peace.

Say after me.

It is up to me.

To access my higher self.

And protected.

Today I will stop asking.

For permission to live with fire.

I have waited long enough and today I choose.

.

.

To stop living as if I have been forgotten.

Today I choose to honour my higher self.

I will live and I will listen to others with reverence.

I will walk with purpose and I understand that when a woman honors her higher self.

She cannot be controlled And this is why.

I seek today.

To speak without hesitation.

Too.

Avoid making excuses.

To be the person.

That I was sent here on Earth.

Thanks for listening.

I'll see you next time.
