How Marcus Aurelius Quieted an Anxious Mind Before Sleep

Panic can begin in the first three seconds - a three-minute hourglass, a cold garage at five in the morning, and a stomach that clenches when you read "we need to talk." What if the difference between collapse and action is a single judgment you make in those first moments? How do you move from automatic fear to a controlled response?

In this episode, we hear stories from a group at dawn - an attorney awake for months, an entrepreneur losing a client, a nurse trembling at home, an architect who stopped submitting proposals, and a teacher who walked three miles in the rain - and explore the Stoic idea that your power lies in what you decide an event means. What practical steps turn that idea into something you can use the next time your body reacts before your mind catches up?
