What Happened to My Life? A Stoic Guide to Ditching the 'Shoulds'
from The Stoic Compass · host William Moore
Join Jim and Ellie on "The Stoic Compass" as they tackle that all-too-common late-night whisper: "What happened to my life?" They dive into why the life you envisioned in your twenties may not be the one you're living now, and why that’s not a failure—it's a path to a more honest, authentic existence. Inspired by Alison Moore’s piece, "The Grace of Letting Go," they explore how Stoicism can help you stop comparing your life to a supposed "perfect" timeline and start embracing the one you have. Learn to use the Dichotomy of Control to focus on what you can actually change—your reactions and judgments—and find the courage to ditch someone else's script and live your own "gritty, gorgeously brave" life.📖 Pay Attention by C.
