In this episode of The Self Help Show, Miss Gina-Margaret Tiger sits down with Benny (Via Stoica) for a grounded and insightful conversation on Stoicism — one of the most enduring philosophies for mastering life, emotions, and character.

Together, they explore the origins of Stoicism, its foundational principles, and why this ancient philosophy remains deeply relevant in today’s high-pressure, fast-moving world. Benny breaks down complex Stoic ideas into practical wisdom that can be applied to everyday life, relationships, and inner growth.

This episode is a powerful reminder that true strength comes from self-awareness, virtue, and focus on what we can control — not external circumstances.

🧠 What You’ll Learn In This Episode

• The origins of Stoicism and how it evolved from ancient Greece to Roman society
• Key Stoic figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus
• Why virtue is central to living a meaningful and grounded life
• The Stoic concept of eudaimonia and what it really means to live well
• How Stoicism teaches self-awareness and emotional regulation
• Why focusing on what’s within your control changes everything
• How modern psychology, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is influenced by Stoic principles
• The importance of pausing, reflecting, and responding rather than reacting
• How Stoicism helps us stay present and resilient in challenging times

✨ Key Takeaways

• Stoicism is not a religion, but a practical guide to living with clarity, discipline, and integrity
• A good life is built on character, not comfort
• Self-awareness is a daily practice, not a destination
• Inner peace comes from mastering your response, not controlling the world
• Ancient wisdom often offers the most modern solutions

💭 Reflection Question

Ask yourself:

What am I giving my energy to that is outside my control — and what would shift if I redirected that energy inward?

Sit with it. That pause alone is a Stoic practice.

Men are hurting, silently and most of them don’t even have the language for what’s happening inside. In this electrifying episode of the Self Help Show, Gina-Margaret Tiger sits down with Dr. Avrum Weiss, clinical psychologist, PhD, bestselling author of Hidden in Plain Sight, and one of the few experts courageous enough to expose what men are truly afraid to admit.

Together, they break open the unspoken truth: men fear emotional intimacy not because they don’t want closeness, but because they’ve been conditioned to believe that vulnerability makes them weak. Dr. Weiss shares eye-opening psychological frameworks, personal revelations from thousands of case studies, and the raw internal realities most men carry into relationships without even knowing it.

This conversation is not gentle it’s transformational. Gina and Dr. Weiss tackle the roots of emotional shutdown, the generational programming of “traditional masculinity,” and why men often feel unseen, unvalidated, and emotionally unsafe even with the women they love. They unravel how societal norms, survival conditioning, and silent emotional trauma shape the way men love, protect, pursue, and pull away.

If you want to understand men… if you’re tired of surface-level explanations… if you’re ready for healing, empathy, and deeper connection this episode will shift the way you see masculine psychology forever.

In this mind-shifting episode, Gina sits with Zach Russell to unpack the ego, why it forms, and how to step out of the story into present-moment awareness. We cover: childhood triggers that switch on the ego’s fight-or-flight, why “not good enough” isn’t real, the difference between awareness and ego, how digital life amplifies our inner stories, and what it actually means to “let go.”

You’ll hear powerful reframes:

• “Expectation is the root of suffering.”
• “Trauma is a story about an experience.”
• “There is no future. Presence is all we ever have.”
• “You can decorate the jail cell… but it’s still a cell.”

If you’re tired of chasing “someday,” this one gives you the pattern-break.
