It's my birthday tomorrow, you guys. So today's episode is a present of sorts. I'm really into this

interview this week with my guest, Stephanie Rupert, and I promise I'll keep this short so we can get

right into it, but I just want to highlight a couple of things from the episode. She's such a fascinating person, but not only that,

I connect with her a ton, which you'll hear in the episode, but she's probably also one of the

smartest women I know. She's very smart. She's the author of the book that's really popular,

sexy by nature.

And she's also a scholar.

She's studied at Dartmouth and now Oxford.

And she's so knowledgeable in many different things, everything from science, including hormones,

with her experience and the experience of lots of people she's worked with,

as well as the philosophy

side of things. She's a scholar of comparative religions and spirituality, and we talk about that

as well. So in this conversation, you know, we get really deep on these topics that, you know,

we don't really talk about in society. But ironically, they're

my favorite things to discuss. Sex, religion, food, and diet, the things you're not supposed to

bring up with people you just meet. But I love to talk about them. So we're talking about them

today. And it's a fascinating conversation.

And I sprinkle in more things about my own story in this podcast that some of you might know,

but a lot of you probably don't. And it's really cool. I learn a ton from Steph live on the air, and I'm sure you will listening as well.

We recorded this podcast back in December, and I'm just airing it now, but we've cut in touch since then,

and I've been excited for a while to have this podcast actually air so you guys can listen to it,

but I re-listen to it just now, you know, before I recorded this intro, and I forgot actually how great it was.
