Description

We all try to live with intention—but life keeps interrupting us.


In this episode, I explore the tension between daily reactivity and long-term vision through a Stoic lens. Why do we keep returning to Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca? Why do we need constant reminders of principles we already know?


Because life pulls us away—daily, hourly, relentlessly.


This episode is about carving out small moments of intention inside a reactive world, and why you don’t need more time—just space—to live with clarity and character.
