Leçon 1
The Foundation: Control
Begin your Stoic journey by mastering the cornerstone of its philosophy: distinguishing between what is within your control and what is not. Learn how this simple yet profound principle can free your mind from unnecessary worries and empower you to focus on what truly matters.
Leçon 2
Reframing Obstacles: Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
In today’s episode, we explore how obstacles are not just setbacks, but opportunities for growth. By shifting our mindset, we can turn challenges into stepping stones for resilience, patience, and personal development. Learn how to reframe your struggles and move forward stronger.
Leçon 3
Intentional Action: Aligning Your Values With Your Goals
On day 3 of the Stoicism Challenge, learn how to take intentional action to guide your life toward your goals. By aligning your actions with your values, you can create the life you want. This episode explores how to live with purpose and become the person you aspire to be.
Leçon 4
Detaching From External Validation: Finding Your Inner Worth
In episode 4 of the Stoicism Challenge, learn how to detach from the need for external validation and embrace your own sense of worth. Focus on your actions and values rather than seeking approval from others, and discover true peace in your integrity.
Leçon 5
The Power Of Contentment: Want Less, Live More
On day five of the Stoicism Challenge, explore the concept of contentment. Learn how true wealth lies in appreciating what you already have, rather than endlessly chasing more. Discover how reducing your wants leads to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.
Leçon 6
Mastering Self-Control: Small Acts, Big Impact
On day six, we dive into the power of self-control. Learn how small, consistent acts of restraint strengthen your character and lead to true freedom. Discover how to break the cycle of impulsive actions and choose responses that serve your long-term well-being.
Leçon 7
Week One Reflection: Stoic Progress Through Action
Congratulations on completing your first week! Reflect on the lessons learned: control what you can, reframe challenges, embrace action, and find true wealth in balance. Progress comes through daily practice and self-awareness. Keep moving forward with purpose!
Leçon 8
Week Two: The Power Of Being Present
Welcome to week two! This week, we focus on the art of being present. Stoicism teaches us to appreciate the present moment, free from past regrets and future anxieties. Experience life fully, without the distractions of what’s gone or what’s to come.
Leçon 9
Living Deliberately And Making Time Count
Today, we focus on the power of deliberate action. It's not about wishing for change but taking meaningful steps toward your goals. Small actions compound over time, and by being conscious of how we spend our time, we make each moment count.
Leçon 10
Simplify And Create Space For What Matters
In Day 10, we explore the power of simplifying our lives. By removing unnecessary distractions and clutter—whether physical or mental—we create space for what truly matters. Focus on one area to simplify today and enjoy the peace it brings.
Leçon 11
The Power Of Kindness
On Day 11, we explore the transformative power of kindness. It not only strengthens connections with others but also boosts our own well-being. Find one act of kindness today, big or small, and see the far-reaching effects it has on both you and the world around you.
Leçon 12
The Art Of Detachment
On Day 12, we dive into the practice of detachment, a core Stoic principle. Learn how to enjoy life’s experiences without clinging to them, fostering appreciation without attachment. Understand that both joy and hardship are fleeting, which makes them even more meaningful.
Leçon 13
Embracing Hardship As Growth
In Episode 13, we explore the value of facing challenges. Life is full of adversity, and instead of avoiding hardship, we can use it as an opportunity to grow. Learn to embrace difficulties as moments of training and personal strength, just like a hero in a movie.
Leçon 14
Embracing Change For Growth
As we wrap up Week 2, it's time to embrace change as a fundamental part of life. Stoicism teaches us that change is inevitable and necessary for growth. By accepting change, we free ourselves from fear and evolve, just like a seedling turning into a strong tree.
Leçon 15
Letting Go Of Perfectionism
As we reach the final week, it's time to let go of perfectionism. Stoicism teaches us to focus on the process, not the outcome. By controlling our actions and not obsessing over results, we find true freedom and growth. Embrace the journey, not just the goal.
Leçon 16
The Power Of Connection And Compassion
In this episode, we explore how Stoicism values love and human connection. Stoics believe love isn't just a feeling, but a guiding principle in our daily actions. Show kindness and seek others' good—every act of compassion, no matter how small, has meaning.
Leçon 17
Embracing The Challenge Of Stoicism
As we hit day 17, the excitement of a new challenge may be waning, but it's time to push through. Marcus Aurelius reminds us that we have limited time to free ourselves and live with purpose. Use your power now, and remember, your time is precious.
Leçon 18
Concentrate Like A Roman
On day 18, it's time to focus. Marcus Aurelius reminds us that our work should be done with seriousness, precision, and love. Every task, no matter how small, contributes to our purpose. Concentrate like a Roman and take meaningful steps toward your goals.
Leçon 19
Facing Fear With Stoicism
Fear and anxiety can cloud our actions, but they don't have to. Today, we explore how to distinguish between worthwhile and excessive fears, guided by Stoic wisdom. Learn to focus on what you can control, let go of the rest, and take powerful steps to calm your mind.
Leçon 20
Embracing Mortality To Live Fully
In this penultimate episode, we explore the Stoic practice of Memento Mori—remembering our mortality. Far from morbid, this reflection inspires purposeful living, helping us focus on what truly matters. Learn how to align your actions with your values and live each day as a life in itself.
Leçon 21
Your Stoic Journey Begins Here
Congratulations on completing three weeks of Stoic wisdom! In this final episode, we celebrate your progress and empower you to take charge of your life. Explore the importance of mastering your mind, embracing challenges, and living with intention. Remember, you hold the tools for an extraordinary life—everything you need is already within you. Take this wisdom, conquer yourself, and create the life you deserve.

Having been only briefly introduced to stoic principles in other meditations, I really appreciated all you share here. It turns out that my mantra of many years, and what I’ve reinforced to my son as he has grown: control what you can control (your own thoughts, feelings, actions) and let go of what you can’t, is stoicism! I also really...
