In this episode of The Self Help Show,
Miss Gina-Margaret Tiger sits down with
Benny (Via Stoica) for a grounded and insightful
conversation on Stoicism — one of the most
enduring philosophies for mastering life, emotions, and
character.
Together, they explore the origins of Stoicism,
its foundational principles, and why this ancient philosophy
remains deeply relevant in today’s high-pressure, fast-moving
world. Benny breaks down complex Stoic ideas into practical
wisdom that can be applied to everyday life, relationships, and
inner growth.
This episode is a powerful reminder that true strength comes from
self-awareness, virtue, and focus on what we can
control — not external circumstances.
