Summary

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares one of his favorite stories—the Empty Boat Mindset. When life bumps into us with frustrations, conflicts, or unexpected challenges, it’s easy to assume someone is out to disrupt us. But what if, like the drifting empty boat, there’s no intent at all? Addison connects this lesson with Stoic wisdom from Epictetus: we can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. Learn how to create space between stimulus and response, release unnecessary anger, and steer your own boat with calm and clarity.
