Modern Stoicism: Ancient Philosophy or Self Help for Tech Bros? - a podcast by Cat and Rebecca

Is modern Stoicism just self help rebranded for tech bros or something more interesting?

Rebecca went to Stoicon Athens to meet the Stoics and imbibe some wisdom only a few miles away from the very porch where Stoic philosophy first kicked off. While Cat put the ancient philosophy to the test and tried living like a Stoic for a week.

We talk about our experiences compare Stoicism to other philosophies and engage in an impromptu (much needed) Stoic inspired therapy session.

Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives we’re The Seeker and The Skeptic.

If you enjoy the show, we’d love your support to help us keep exploring these topics and bringing our research, experiences and discussion to you. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to sharing more adventures with your support!
