About Me
Hi, I’m Brechen, the creator of The Pursuit of Balance newsletter, The Eightfold Parent newsletter, and The Mindful Stoic blog.
I’m an ordinary dad navigating the challenges of parenting while balancing a corporate career and a passion for writing. I’m on a mission to embody the compassion of a Buddhist monk, the equanimity of a meditation teacher, and the resilience of a Stoic—all while excelling in the everyday commitments of work, family, and life.
When I’m not writing or working, you can find me exploring the wild on ultralight backpacking trips, playing blues guitar, or cherishing time with my wife and baby boy.
I’ve been writing The Mindful Stoic blog since 2019, exploring mindfulness, Buddhist traditions, and Stoicism as tools for a balanced life. I’m also working on a book with the goal of transitioning to full-time writing soon.
