The Via Stoica Podcast
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism that brings you the ancient wisdom of this philosophy to our modern-day lives. Walking the digital streets, Brice, Brendan, and Benny examine the ancient texts and tools through a current lens. The Stoics teach us to focus on the moment, and that’s how Stoicism should be approached. We have the foundation of the wise minds of the past and now it is our time to find the right application to this philosophy of life.
In our weekly episodes, we will dissect a wide range of topics and apply the Stoic teachings to them. It is our goal to show you the benefits of Stoicism and provide you with examples and tools to help you live a better and more peaceful life.

75. The Stoic Guide to Compassion: Strength in Understanding
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism.
The Stoic Guide to Compassion: Strength in Understanding
Can Stoics be compassionate? In this episode, Brendan, Brice, and Benny explore how Stoic philosophy teaches us to practice true compassion—one rooted in wisdom, resilience, and understanding. They break down the difference between passive empathy and active Stoic compassion, share insights from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, and offer practical strategies to help you cultivate kindness without losing your inner strength.
If you struggle with compassion—whether it's being too harsh on yourself or too emotionally entangled with others—Stoic coaching can help. Work with an experienced coach to develop a balanced, grounded approach to life. Sign up for Stoic coaching here: https://viastoica.com/stoic-coaching/
