Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.
In this episode of The Via Stoica Podcast, Brendan and Benny explore how Stoic philosophy can help us overcome overwhelm and stay grounded in an increasingly chaotic world.
When everything feels out of control—news cycles, obligations, emotions—the Stoics remind us to focus on what is truly within our power. Drawing from the teachings of Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius, we discuss practical tactics to regain clarity, find calm, and act with intention rather than react out of panic.
We break down how to use daily practices like the dichotomy of control, journaling, and premeditatio malorum to reduce mental clutter and build inner resilience. This episode is for anyone who feels stretched too thin, overloaded, or simply looking for a steadier path forward.
To dive deeper into this topic, check out our article On What We Control. It unpacks the core Stoic principle of control and how it can radically change how you respond to life’s chaos.
