I am so excited to have my pal and best-selling author, Ruby Warrington, on the show to talk about being sober curious and living a child-free life.

Ruby actually coined the term "sober curious" and in this conversation, we both share our experience with that and getting sober. Ruby also shares her thoughts on choosing to be child-free, the societal expectations we face as women when it comes to motherhood, and so much more.

I hope it resonates with you as much as it did for me.

**Note: we discuss infertility mid-way through the episode. If this is a tender topic for you, consider skipping this episode. ❤️ **
