Some of our best check-ins happen mid-scrub, not candlelit.

Tonight it was while cleaning the kitchen; asking how the day went, what felt off, and how we can support each other’s goals for the rest of the night.

A Stoic Love Story

Meet Eric & Susanna

Eric is an experienced trial attorney and founder of Archon Advising. Susanna is a passionate middle school English teacher. Together, they’ve faced the worst of life, love, and ego; and came out stronger through Stoic philosophy, radical honesty, and a relentless commitment to each other.

Their story is one of rebuilding individually and as partners forged by practice, not perfection or hope without action.

Our Philosophy

We believe that strong relationships aren’t found, they’re built. Through daily journaling, weekly check-ins, and timeless Stoic principles, we've created a relationship that’s resilient, loving, and brutally honest. Now, we’re helping other couples do the same. Whether they’re looking to reconnect, grow, or part ways with peace.

Sit Down, Let’s Talk: A No B-S Partnership Check-In

This is more than a journal. It’s a relationship operating system. Created by us to keep our own connection strong, Sit Down, Let’s Talk gives couples a simple structure to:

Review short- and long-term objectives;
Reflect on values, goals, and failures;
Handle conflict with courage and compassion; and
Build real intimacy with authentic service and support.

This is far from some kind of woo-woo, crunchy mysticism. This is a system for couples who want results and are willing to show up.

The Thursday Night Couples Circle

Live Every Thursday @ 8:30 PM EST on Zoom

This is where the book comes to life.

Each week, we host a live, open discussion for couples using Sit Down, Let’s Talk. It’s part book club, part Stoic seminar, part couples’ support group.

Here’s what you’ll get:

🟢 A guided theme from the journal to focus your week
🟢 Real stories and reflections from other couples doing the work
🟢 Honest, Stoic-led discussion without judgment
🟢 Clarity, connection, and community

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up. Sit down. And talk.
