Zen Stoic Path Show

In this insightful episode, Victor shares what grounded him during a recent tough time and how he is getting back to daily fundamentals.

He discusses common attachments to thoughts that reality "should be" different, and how these cause suffering regardless of external progress made. Learn how embracing "what is" through methods like Byron Katie's can detach judgement and return us to peace.

Victor then shares the specific morning rituals, stretching, reading and breathing practices that center him daily. He also explains the powerful story of the Rainmaker which drove home the importance of being anchored in your core.
