  • Which of your habits are keeping you stuck — and how would you know?
    May 10 2026
    Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why habits feel impossible to break—and argue that the real problem is not the behavior itself, but the unmet need it is still serving. The episode reveals how to spot a habit that has truly stuck: it no longer feels like a choice, it feels like reality, and you will find it in the moment just before you react, not in the reaction itself. You will leave with a concrete way to see one habit clearly enough to know whether it is still protecting you from something real, or keeping you answering a question the world stopped asking long ago.

  • What is the real root of chronic stress — and can it be removed?
    May 8 2026
    In this episode, Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why chronic stress persists even when we know intellectually that worrying doesn't change outcomes—and they disagree sharply on how to remove it. You'll hear why stress is self-generated (whether through misplaced control, disowned parts of yourself, or constant resistance to what is), and you'll learn a single, concrete practice to identify what you're actually responsible for carrying and what you need to put down.

  • What does it take to actually change — not just want to?
    May 7 2026
    Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate why wanting to change and actually changing are not the same thing—and where most people get stuck in the gap between them. You'll learn why willpower alone fails, what your resistance is actually protecting, and what one honest question can reveal about the real cost of the change you say you want.
