Ever wondered how ancient philosophy can intersect with modern life and diverse viewpoints? In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula sits down with Lauren Ell, a fascinating figure who wears many hats. Lauren is the founder of several atheist organizations, including Republican Atheists and Atheist Moms, and she brings a unique perspective to the table. Living in Sweden since 2016, she’s navigated life as an American abroad while staying active in both political and social spheres.
The conversation takes listeners on a journey through Lauren's life as an atheist and a Republican, exploring how Stoic philosophy has influenced her views on meaning, morality, and societal expectations.

She also delves into the complexities of being a Republican atheist, a rare combination that sparks intriguing discussions about representation and inclusivity within the atheist community.
As they talk, Justin and Lauren find common ground between Stoic principles and her personal philosophies. They touch on the importance of making the most of our limited time, the pursuit of dreams, and the challenges posed by societal norms. Lauren's reflections on traditional relationships and her evolving beliefs add depth to the conversation, making it a rich tapestry of ideas and insights.
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in how ancient wisdom can be applied to contemporary issues, especially those navigating ideological differences or seeking a deeper understanding of life's big questions.
