Building Your Inner Fortress: A Stoic’s Guide to Mental Toughness
A few episodes ago I shared my struggle moving back from Amsterdam because I was mentally stuck and had to be brutally honest about where I was.
A few weeks after that, I created an episode on Mental Toughness, and how working on that skill changed everything for me. And based on your messages, it resonated with a lot of you too.
So I’ve turned it into something bigger – a complete 6-week course starting on October 6th called “Building Your Inner Fortress.”
It’s not just lessons. You’ll get 30-minute weekly trainings on the five pillars of mental toughness, weekly Q&A sessions, plus daily exercises that actually work. But here’s the game-changer: you’ll create your own Personal Codex – a complete guide to your strengths, triggers, and growth that you’ll have forever.
By the end, you won’t just survive tough moments. You’ll use them to build unshakeable inner strength, one brick at a time.
Stop just surviving and start building something unbreakable inside yourself.
