Ep 18 - Greek Myths - Narcissus, Narcissists and Stoicism ft. Orla Swan

“People don't change.'

'People change entirely,' I said. 'Look at Narcissus. He became a flower. I call that change.”
― Kamila Shamsie

 

If you enjoy Greek Mythology this is your jam.

 

If you've had dealings with narcissistic people in the past, this is most definitely your jam spread all over a freshly baked cherry scone. 

 

I was joined by Orla Swan (@thehealthhun) in this Hellenistic escapade over a couple of drinks and we did as was expected, ramble and wax lyrical about our life experiences and thoughts on the crazy epicness that is Greek Mythology. 

 

Yes I know "epicness" is not a word but it fucking is now :) 

 

We also shoveled our way through narcissism and narcissistic traits of which most of us have our fair share of. 

 

This is a step in the direction that I want this podcast to go; less formal and more conversational with more of a focus on the questions that keep me up late at night.

 

Like "who the fuck thought that some chap turned into a daffodil after staring at his reflection in a lake?"

 

Fitness is important, but Greek Mythology is important-er.

 

Open Pandora's box and get stuck in to the story's that still influence our world today.
