Welcome! I’m Meredith Alexander Kunz, and I created The Stoic Mom blog in 2016 to explore how parents and kids can benefit from practicing Stoic philosophy. By day, I am a communications leader in Silicon Valley and a personal and professional development coach. At my core, I am a writer and explorer of history, philosophy, art, and family life, who seeks to find deeper wisdom and share it with my community of readers. You’ll also find me giving talks on Stoicism around the world and have been interviewed on podcasts and NPR-affiliate radio. I’m an associate faculty member of the Stoa Nova School and an external member of the Centre for the Study and Application of Stoicism, Royal Holloway, University of London, and I’ve contributed my writing to The STOIC online magazine and to Stoicism Today: Selected Essays. My new book - co-authored with Massimo Pigliucci and Gregory Lopez - Beyond Stoicism: A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers was published in January 2025. In the UK, it’s titled Live Like a Philosopher: What the Ancient Greeks and Romans Can Teach Us About Living a Happy Life. Please check it out!
