The Secret Suffering You Build (And How To Stop)

In a Maui cemetery, chickens nest among headstones, laying eggs directly over graves, a quiet image that reveals a truth most people avoid. Death does not wait, warn, or negotiate, a reality the Stoics embraced with two ancient Latin words. What profound shift occurs when you truly feel, not just know, that you are going to die?

In this episode, we explore the Stoic practice of "memento mori" as a tool for intentional living, examining how figures like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus confronted mortality. Discover the surprising clarity that comes from acknowledging life's impermanence and how it can reshape your daily choices.
