About this episode
This episode examines the habit of complaining and the power we retain over our response.
Seneca and Epictetus remind us that while frustrations are unavoidable, resentment often adds a second layer of suffering that is largely our own.
A simple practice—pause, assess, and reframe—helps turn irritation into clearer judgment and, where possible, constructive action.
