Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.
What if preparing for death is the key to truly living? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan explore the Stoic approach to mortality, not as something to fear, but as a tool to cultivate presence, peace, and purpose.
Through personal stories, Stoic reflections, and practical exercises, they discuss how coming to terms with death can transform how we live day to day. You’ll learn how Stoicism reframes death as a natural event, how meditating on mortality increases gratitude, and how the loss of loved ones can become a powerful teacher.
This conversation pairs beautifully with our article Why Death Needs Rebranding, which challenges the modern fear of dying and invites us to embrace the Stoic wisdom of memento mori.
Whether you're dealing with grief, contemplating your legacy, or just looking for a deeper connection to life, this episode offers guidance from the ancient Stoics and from two modern voices living the practice.
