All three of you ladies are inspirational to me. The gentle energy you exude through your words and work nurtures my spirit and calms my crazy. V, my girl- keep being your brilliant self. You're worth it.
The part about how expanded opportunity for women has come with constant role instability really lands. I've seen this play out in conversations where people assume the principles work the same way for eveyrone, but the conditioning gaps and shifting societal expectations create different entry points into the practice. The flower metaphor for stoicism is pretty clever too - most people do misread emotional regulation as suppression when it's actually abot strength. This makes me think differently about how philosophy adapts to lived experience rather than just being applied uniformly.
Thank you so much, Karen and Francis, and Vanessa, for this great interview, and for all of the wonderful work that you are doing! I really appreciate all that you are doing.!

Thank you for sharing your insight with our community. I'm with you, Epictetus is my main man, too.
Thank YOU! As I shared with Francis, it’s so rare to feel seen in an interview, and this experience genuinely felt that way. I appreciate you both. 🙏
