About this listen

  • Today's episode is about the Stoic Mother.

  • A Stoic mother emphasizes inner control rather than external circumstances, aiming for self-mastery and internal resilience amidst the chaos of parenting. She encourages parents to be more rational and mindful, questioning their assumptions and emotional responses to develop better judgments and a less anxious approach to parenting.
  • In Little Women, Mrs March personifies the Stoic virtues of wisdom, justice, courage, and self-control . She remains steadfast during poverty, and supports her four, very different children, through their childhood, in spite of her own challenges.
