About Me
My Story at DemiStoic
My Story
Most of my life I had been passive to my emotions and feeling out of control with my circumstances. Life felt overwhelming and meaningless.
At 21 I discovered Stoicism whilst at university, and began a lifelong journey of understanding myself through the lens of philosophy.
Compounding this with a deep interest in psychology, I found we can influence our perspective through compounding these two seemingly isolated disciplines into improving our mindset, relationships and purpose.
The blog is a group of lessons I learnt through my interest in these fields, and serve as reminders when life inevitably challenges us to be better versions of ourselves.
In January 2025, I launched my Substack: The DemiStoic Newsletter with exclusive content and the websites full catalougue.
In March 2025, I launched demi.stoic on Instagram, which I exclusively create content for now.
I know of no better life purpose than to perish attempting the great and impossible. The fact that something seems impossible should not be a reason to not pursue it. That’s exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Where would the courage and greatness be if success was certain and there was no risk. The only true failure is shrinking away from life’s challenges.
