About this listen

In this deeply personal episode of The Profectory Podcast, host Manny Teran unpacks the hidden emotional layers of moving into a new home—a process that ranks among life's most stressful experiences. Through the lens of Stoic wisdom and modern psychological research, he reveals how moving is not just a logistical task but a spiritual and identity-level shift. Drawing from the teachings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, Manny offers a Stoic framework for approaching the emotional turbulence of change. He highlights how moving can surface identity loss, decision fatigue, and grief, while also providing a profound opportunity for a "Fresh Start Effect"—a moment to forge new habits, rituals, and intentional systems. Backed by insights from behavioral science and environmental psychology, this episode bridges ancient philosophy with practical, science-based tools for entrepreneurs and leaders navigating transition. Whether you're moving homes, teams, or ideas, this episode offers clarity, resilience, and a quiet reminder: you are not your past—you are what you do next.
