Couldn’t get through the 3rd episode. Too many episodes devoted to introducing the podcast and how the host will be hosting it.

My life fell apart a little bit for the last few years, and both of Stefani's podcasts have been instrumental in my quest for a future of health and meaning. "Naked Humanity" is the perfect companion for someone seeking to restore their faith in humanity, someone facing hard questions about science and spirituality, or someone yearning for a nuanced, balanced treatment of key modern issues. Thank you, Stefani, for being a beautiful, messy human on this great new podcast.

But really, the way Stephanie makes you think about humanity and life is incredible. Not only is the provided information insightful and meaningful, Stef relays it in an open minded, confident, enticing way. I look forward to the new episodes each week!

Stefani rocks—these are such interesting and relevant topics. Never thought I’d enjoy something like this, but she makes philosophical discussions accessible and applicable to your life. Thanks Stefani!

Five stars because I agree that the mind behind this podcast mirrors my own at this point.

Stefani does a great job tackling urgent issues including sex, loneliness, religion, technology, science, and democracy. She deals with issues that hit us both emotionally and intellectually, things we need to think about to make our lives better. She interviewed me for her episode on Spirituality without Religion, and I’m pleased to say she really asked insightful questions. This podcast does the kind of thinking that helps to heal our fragile and conflicted world.

I spend most of my podcast-listening time on health and wellness podcasts, and I listened to Stefani for years on the Well Fed Women Podcast. I started listening to this podcast and it has been such a refreshing change from my usual podcast listening habits. I’m absolutely loving the topics Stefani addresses, and her perspectives on the topics addressed are wonderful to listen to as they diverge in some ways from some of the more dominant voices in the field currently, especially with regard to religion. Thank you, Stefani, for starting this podcast, it is a hugely valuable addition to the podcast world!

Stefani Ruper and her work are a breath of fresh air to someone like myself who is a decidedly non-traditionally religious, passionately philosophical person. Rather than settling for platitudes, whether for or against these topics, Ruper respectfully yet lucidly explores these subjects, unafraid to point out structural points of weakness, get always on the spirit of seeking a deeper grasp of our situation(s). Very excited to see this podcast come back so strong as Naked Humanity. Episode 30 is already great and I can’t wait for more!

I discovered Stefani Ruper because she followed my Instagram page, I lover down to earth views and approach to philosophy, I eagerly await her new podcast “Naked Humanity “ very smart woman!

I found Stefani a couple of years ago on the Well Fed Women podcast, and was immediately drawn to her thoughtful, research-based approach to questions about women's health. The Meaning of Everything podcast is a truly valuable one, and I highly recommend everyone give it a listen. Stefani's open-minded yet highly intellectual approach to philosophy, religion, and science is refreshing, and the variety of expert guests have given me many ideas and theories to discuss with friends. Thank you Stefani for creating such relevant and meaningful content!

Grateful to be able to take part of someone who have thought a lot about many important ideas and concepts. In the age of confusion and at the age of confusion; some well needed clarity.

Stefani is brilliant. I have adored her voice long before she blessed us with this podcast sharing her thoughts & knowledge about the big stuff. She speaks of uncomfortable topics with grace- she challenges the way you interpret the world & never fails to point out how much more complex everything you thought was so simple and concrete truly is.

I'm not one to write podcast reviews, but I had to give a hearty cheer to Stefani for her courage and brilliance bringing this podcast into being. It's refreshing to hear lofty intellectual concepts applied to real world situations in an unpretentious way, and I've learned from the sometimes opposing viewpoints of the various guests. These are the thoughtful, openminded, and increasingly timely conversations I miss from academia!

I’m a big fan of Stefani’s first podcast “Well-fed Women” so I thought I would check out her new one and instantly clicked with this series as well! If her first podcast brought soul to food, this one is food for the soul! She is a master at bringing nuance to subjects that people love to take sides on and condensing complicated ideas into understandable bits. Even those who may not initially think they’re interested in philosophy, religion, etc., can find this podcast to be useful. Every episode has related age-old ideas to our current society, technology and what it means to be human. Easy to listen to yet also thought provoking. Can’t wait to see what topics she has coming out next, great job Stefani!

I have listened to Stefani and Noelle Tarr dish on the Well Fed Women podcast, formerly Paleo for Women, but I appreciate this different view of Stefani. She examines various content issues that spark debate and disgust and alignment in society today, and she attempts to provide some objective presentation of the issues to allow listeners to develop their own opinions and considerations. Then, ever so bravely, she also offers first hand accounts of her experiences with topics like why are we here, is there a God, her experience with celibacy, etc. She attempts to offer a smart approach to considering what many handle in a way that is often emotional and unthoughtful. Really enjoying it so far.—-Star

I never thought I’d be interested in learning about philosophy for fun, but this podcast is so interesting and accessible. It’s really fascinating to hear how different scholars view and study human behavior and the universe at large. Learning about different religious perspectives is very enlightening, and I hope it will make me a more compassionate and understanding person. I definitely recommend this podcast for those curious about philosophy and religion, even if like me, you don’t necessarily know that you’re curious about those topics.

I love listening to your other podcast and so glad I also have listened to this one! I am also a deep thinker and really enjoy your insights and knowledge on these big topics! You always bring a real and authentic point of view!

Stefani and her guests bring an amazing perspective to who we are and where we are going.

Stefani is easy to listen to (some podcast voices are not), and the topics are very thought-provoking. I enjoy the way the subjects are explored. With the time!

Stefani demonstrates excellent orator skills as she discusses “the meaning of everything” in this podcast show. Give it a listen, you’ll thoroughly enjoy it!

A friend recommended this podcast to me and I am so happy! I blazed through the first few podcasts as soon as I started listening. Stefani addresses thought provoking questions with ease and in a way that is relatable. The Meaning of Everything brings me peace in allowing my mind to be challenged and wander as I get to know myself and this universe on a deeper level.

I've been a huge fan of Stefani for YEARS and followed her with her work in nutrition. It's wonderful to see her focusing on what I think is her true passion- philosophy and MEANING. These are conversations we desperately need to have in a hurting world. I highly recommend, you will NOT be dissapointed! Thank you for everything Stef!

This podcast is my new favorite. Stefani’s expertise in the field allows REAL professionals to share philosophical, thoughtful insights on existential questions that can keep me awake at night. The way she is able to effortless bridge the barrier between science, religion and arts and humanities makes this podcast relatable and understandable to anyone. If you are looking for some comfort in a world full of uncertainty, look no further than the graceful, articulate and wisdom of Stefani Ruper.

If we all stopped and thought to ourselves, “Why am I here? What is really the point of my existence?”, would this change our lives or mindsets? Stefani’s charming and eloquent podcast helps guide us through these challenging questions allowing a sense of comfort to stem from uncertainty - a difficult feat. In this tumultuous climate, “the Meaning of Everything” is my new favorite warm cup of tea.

It is clear how much hard work, dedicaiton, thoughtfulness, and passion goes into this podcast. It is open, honest, and something everyone can benefit from in some capacity. By encouraging people to tap into their own sense of meaning-making, this opens the door for deeper thinking and communication, which is much needed in our world today.

I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Stefani is a deep and insightful thinker who brings warmth and empathy to everything she does. Listen to this podcast if you want to reflect deeply on the world and our place in it - if you want to learn something about yourself, connection, and how we can be both grounded and suspended while asking questions and seeking understanding.

Love seeing this side of Stef! This is raw and real. Very thought provoking.

I loved her rants on WFW and am so thrilled she chose to share her thoughts on this mind opening podcast. She is a brilliant young person making profound contributions to the world by making us all think deeper, ask more questions and empathize rather than judge.

I’ve been listening to Stefani’s insights regarding fitness and nutrition for a few months now via the Well-Fed Women podcast and have come to admire her knowledge and perspective. Needless to say, I was super excited to hear that she was going to begin her own and that it would be created around deeper topics. I can definitely relate to her character and perspective on a lot of things, which meant checking it out was a definite must. So far, The Meaning of Everything is definitely off to an amazing start. I highly recommend anyone to give this a listen - I have no doubt that you will find it to be time well-spent. Also just a shout out... Thank you for all that you do Stefani! I certainly look forward to the content you have to come :)

👌 love it.

I first encountered Stefanie thru another podcast and immediately respected her for her ability to be honest but in a way that’s in your best interest. I love when people can discuss things without becoming angry offended or upset with one another but respect and love each other despite our differences. Information is power and the more we are willing to learn the more we grow! Loving this new podcast and all the new info I’m learning! Thanks Stefanie!

Great addition to my podcasts - Stef's honesty, curiosity, and clarity are the perfect compliment to these big, oftentimes unweidly questions. If you're up for an insightful, impassioned, and intelligent journey, I'd highly recommend checking this out!

When I think of Oxford, I think of my favorite author, CS Lewis and his writings, especially Mere Christianity. Perhaps you should give it a read...

I love stefani. I love the way she thinks, the deep ness of her thoughts, and I correlate with a lot of her life. So happy she made this series.

Being a long-time listener of Stefani on many different forums, including the well fed women podcast (which if the you don't already listen to, you should!), I have deep appreciation and respect for her journey and perspective on health, in all its many forms. This is guaranteed to be a thought-provoking and genuine podcast. p.s. Love the brain logo.

Thank you for making your knowledge and experience accessible! I can relate to your story and I am excited to hear more of it.

As a PhD candidate in English literature and an Ironman triathelete/health enthusiast, I’ve been a long-time admirer of Stephanie’s voice on the Well Fed Women podcast. I deeply appreciate the intelligence she brings to anything she talks about, be it nutrition, healthy lifestyle, or “the meaning of everything.” I am so very excited to listen to her elaborate on the human condition and the history of intellectual thought in this podcast! She follows in a long tradition that aims to “instruct and delight”, but it’s rare to find a 21st century thinker who truly synthesizes these two objectives. Stephanie is resisting the reductive and flashy nature of “pop science” but speaks with an incisiveness and joyful curiosity that appeals to the non-specialist. Deeply personal yet also intellectually rigorous, Stephanie embodies the bridge between the humanities and the sciences that she so cogently advocates. I can’t wait to hear more from her!

I love listening to Stefani on the Well Fed Women podcast. If been excited for this one to start! Looking forward to listening to it to learn and continue to grow/improve my mindset and spirituality.

I was so excited to hear Stefani was coming out with her own pod!!! She is a wealth of knowledge and brings such new and insightful perspectives to the table. I fell in love with her on her Well-Fed Women podcast with Noelle and love their mission. I am excited to see where this podcast goes and the topics she will be covering. I am a huge fan of her work and passion for women’s health and happiness!

This podcast is really great ...just few episodes buy really excited about the message contained here and looking forward to more.

Thank you for sharing your story! It really got me to open another part of my mind about science.

I am a huge fan of Stefani from her Well Fed Women podcast and I am so thrilled to be able to get to know this side of her personality. I have always felt connected to her through her other podcast and I’ve always wanted to know more of how she feels about philosophy since this is her expertise alongside nutrition. This podcast is perfect and I can relate to her feelings in soooo many ways! I hope this podcast reaches a lot of people. I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while. Way to go, Stefani!!

Thank you for being so honest and sharing your story. ❤️

I am looking forward to more episodes. Stefani Ruper shines light in different view points and she sincerely makes you thing and question everything. I admire her honesty and openness.

I can’t wait for more episodes of this podcast to come out! Thank you for being so honest about difficult issues. My daughter is 10 and has been experiencing very similar anxieties since she was 4. She would stay up late crying and panicking in her bed because of it, particularly about death and the unknown. My husband has always been religious, I have not. I am looking forward to learning about different options and growing in my knowledge of different viewpoints. Stefani Ruper is always so honest, interesting, and passionate. I am so appreciative for the all of the different content she provides.
