Rejection, especially from your own child, can be painful—but Stoic philosophy teaches us that every hardship holds a lesson. In this video, Stoic Training explores why being rejected by your child in old age can be a hidden blessing and how to transform this experience into wisdom, strength, and inner peace. Drawing from the teachings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, we’ll uncover the Stoic approach to loss, detachment, and acceptance, helping you regain control over your emotions and find meaning even in painful moments. Watch now to embrace resilience, self-mastery, and the true power of Stoicism.
