In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, Alex Hill explores the quietest and most powerful space in the human experience — the space between two breaths.
Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s timeless insight — “Between stimulus and response lies our greatest freedom” — we dive into what it means to pause, reflect, and choose who we want to be before reacting.
Through the lens of Stoicism, Buddhism, and modern psychology, Alex reveals how awareness becomes the bridge between emotion and action. From Kill Bill: Vol. 2’s stillness before the strike to the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh and Marcus Aurelius, this episode is a meditation on reclaiming control in a world that rewards reactivity.
Learn how to practice the pause — in conversations, in conflict, in chaos — and discover how that single breath can change the trajectory of your day, your relationships, and your inner peace.
