The Copinghagen Podcast is a thoughtful exploration of stoic philosophy, hosted by Patrick Cullen. Through metaphorical and anonymized third-person tales, each episode draws listeners into reflections on life's most profound lessons—ranging from love and loss to resilience and acceptance.

It’s a place to find calm amidst the chaos, to discover meaning in the everyday, and to explore life’s bigger questions.

In the latest episode, "Love in Motion: A Stoic Reflection on Impermanence," we delve into the bittersweet nature of love, change, and how we find peace in letting go. With beautiful, melancholic storytelling inspired by stoic philosophy, this episode reminds us that everything in life is always in motion, and true wisdom comes from embracing that fact rather than resisting it.

The Last Leaf: A Stoic's Journey Through Autumn

The wind carries the scent of the forest through the window. Outside, leaves fall like memories, swirling softly to the ground. It’s autumn again. A season of endings and beginnings. A reminder that everything we hold onto must one day be let go.

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast, where we explore the quiet beauty of life through the lens of stoic philosophy. I’m Patrick Cullen, and today we’ll take a journey into the woods, where a single tree teaches us about the art of letting go, about the fragile balance between holding on and surrendering. So join me as we reflect on the wisdom of the Stoics, and on how to navigate the slow, inevitable changes of life.

The scientists had measured it. The speed of autumn. From the far north of Norway, as the golden leaves turned to amber, drifting south like a slow breath, the season fell towards the Mediterranean at just 4 kilometers an hour. A measured descent, like life itself, with a pace that seemed gentle, but was inevitable. Inescapable.

Whispers to Tomorrow: A Stoic Reflection on Love and Loss

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast, where we explore the deeper questions of life through the lens of stoic philosophy. I’m your host, Patrick Cullen. Today’s episode is one of personal reflection, a message for my daughter—a meditation on love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. As the Stoics remind us, nothing is certain, but in that uncertainty lies beauty.

This is Whispers to Tomorrow.

There’s a weight in the air today. A stillness that echoes with the fragility of life, with the moments we try to grasp, knowing they’ll slip away. I want to speak to you… to my baby girl. You’re only one year old, but already, you’ve filled my heart in ways words will never fully capture. You are the most beautiful, most wondrous, most indescribable element of my life. And yet, I know… I may not have the time I want with you.

No one ever truly knows how long they have. “We are like leaves on the wind,” as Epictetus once said, “carried by forces we cannot control.” None of us knows when our last breath will come, when our heart will beat for the final time. This is the truth that I must face, and one that I want to share with you, even if these words reach you after I’m gone.

Of Love and Firewood

Welcome back to the Copinghagen Podcast where we use ancient wisdom to try and find our way through modern life. I’m Patrick Cullen, and today, I have a story for you. It’s a simple one, but it carries the weight of all those things we never say—the things we keep buried deep.

It’s about love, guilt, and the choices we make when we’re trying to do right by others, and by ourselves. This story might remind you of something you’ve lived through, or maybe something you’ve lost along the way. At its heart, this story is about what the Stoics called "amor fati"—the love of fate. To accept what happens, to love even the hardest parts of life, is the path to peace.

The Quiet Struggle

Welcome to the Copinghagen Podcast. I’m Patrick Cullen. Today, I want to talk about an old, familiar presence in our lives: temptation.

Temptation is no stranger to us. It’s been with us from the start, a companion on this long journey we call life. We meet it again and again, each time in a different guise, but always with the same intent. It whispers promises of ease, of comfort, of a moment’s reprieve from the weight of our burdens. But those promises are rarely kept.
