Prepare For The Bad Stuff With Carly Taylor
We’ve all had moments where we reacted in ways we later regret. In this episode, Carly explores a simple Stoic idea: you don’t rise to the moment, you fall to the level of your training. Drawing on Seneca’s quote, “If you would not have a man flinch when the crisis comes, train him before it comes,” this episode is about preparing for life’s challenges so you can respond with intention, not reactivity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
