Welcome to Stoic Wolf: A Journey into Practical Stoicism

I’ll be honest—I started this blog not because I’m some guru or master of ancient wisdom, but because I’m just as much on the journey as you are. If we’re meeting for the first time, welcome! You’ve wandered onto Stoic Wolf, a little corner of the web where curiosity meets courage, and where living better (not just looking like you have it together) actually matters.

Born in Oaxaca, shaped by parenthood, adventures, health battles, and the explorations of a restless mind, I’ve had my share of highs and some deep, shadowy lows. Discovering Stoic philosophy wasn’t a dramatic thunderbolt; it was more like picking up a handful of pebbles that somehow smoothed the roughness of my daily life. It didn’t make me “enlightened,” but it made me present—and more honest about wrestling with what’s tough.

So, what can you expect here? You won’t find sermons or one-size-fits-all advice. What you’ll get are raw stories, practical lessons, and tools that I’ve found genuinely helpful—shared with zero pretension and plenty of humility. Whether it was learning to handle diabetes alongside my sharp-snouted alert dog Mishka, or balancing a mind full of tech, law, and daily dad chaos, I keep coming back to Stoic principles. They’re not about suppressing feelings or pretending to be a rock; they’re about finding clarity and agency in a world that’s messy, loud, and sometimes a little overwhelming.

This journey isn’t about perfection. In fact, it’s the wobbly, imperfect steps that have brought the most growth. My hope is to build a space where you can bring your own mess, triumphs, or just your curiosity, and find something—anything—that makes the weight feel a little lighter or the road ahead a bit clearer.

Each post is a conversation. I want this to be a two-way street—so leave a comment, send a message, or even call me out if you see me missing the mark. I’ll reflect on the Stoic lessons that shape my decisions, the day-to-day hacks that actually work, and sometimes, the flops and detours that make us all human.

Thanks for letting me share this starting line with you. Together, we might just find that the so-called wisdom of the ancients is less about rules, and more about making brave choices today. Here’s to beginnings, to questions (even the uncomfortable ones!), and to a community that’s a little wild, a lot honest, and always in pursuit of a life that matters.
