About Beau Gauthreaux - Pragma-Sophia
I help busy professionals who feel distracted, overwhelmed, and lacking meaning create focused, purposeful lives using both practical strategies and ancient wisdom.
What Pragma-Sophia Is: Pragma-Sophia means "practical wisdom" - it's my philosophy coaching approach that bridges ancient stoic principles with modern life challenges. Rather than abstract philosophical theory, Pragma-Sophia focuses on actionable wisdom you can use immediately to cut through distractions, find focus, and create meaningful direction in your daily life.
What I Do: Philosophy coaching that combines stoic principles with real-world strategies for focus, organization, and purpose. I teach ancient wisdom in practical ways that work for modern, scattered minds navigating overwhelming professional demands. I help people take back control of their lives.
Problems I Solve:
Constant distractions and inability to focus on what truly matters
Feeling overwhelmed and disorganized despite trying multiple productivity systems
Lack of meaning and direction in work and life
Mental clutter that leads to anxiety and burnout
Knowing what you should do but struggling to actually do it consistently
Feeling lost or unfulfilled in corporate environments
Being pulled in different directions/others planning or interrupting your day
My Approach: Having struggled with severe ADHD (diagnosed late) and depression, I intimately understand what it's like to feel scattered, overwhelmed, and lost. I combine time-tested stoic philosophy with practical strategies that work for busy, distracted minds to help professionals find both focus AND meaning.
How I Help Solve These Problems:
I share techniques that actually worked for me. Through research and practical wisdom, I pulled myself out of severe depression and put myself in motion to start a new career. Now I help others do the same through:
1-on-1 Coaching - Personalized guidance applying stoic principles and practical strategies to your specific challenges
Weekly Podcasts - Each episode tackles a specific topic with actionable insights you can implement immediately
Monthly Deep Dives - We focus intensively on one major issue (like this month's "Focus and Distraction Month"). By month's end, you'll have a comprehensive guide with practical, proven techniques that actually work
Video Archive - Instructional videos that dive deep into each topic, paired with PDF guides for ongoing reference
Proven Results - Every technique I share has been tested in my own life first. No theoretical advice - only strategies that have actually moved the needle.
Current Focus: Building Pragma-Sophia philosophy coaching practice through content creation, studying advanced coaching techniques, and developing practical programs that make ancient wisdom accessible to overwhelmed professionals seeking purpose and clarity.
