Ruby Warrington is an author and the creator of the term Sober Curious, a movement that has sparked a global reconsideration of our relationship with alcohol. Her books “Material Girl, Mystical World,” and “The Sober Curious Reset” have inspired countless individuals to explore their inner worlds, challenge the status quo and reimagine their lives. Ruby’s latest book, “Women Without Kids,” is a candid exploration shattering stereotypes and bringing to light the intricacies of choosing a child-free path.

In this episode, Ruby and I discuss the emotional journey of deciding not to have children, confronting cultural expectations, embracing personal empowerment around this subject, societal narratives and internal struggles that so many of us experience, Ruby’s dedication to making the conversation around childlessness mainstream, and so much more!
