05 Ruby Warrington - Sober Curiosity

This week I am talking to the inspiring Ruby Warrington. Ruby is a British writer, author and thought-leader currently located in Brooklyn, NY. Formerly Features Editor on the UK Sunday Times Style supplement, she is Founder of Now Age lifestyle platform The Numinous, and co-founder of “sober curious” events series Club SÖDA NYC. Her two books, Material Girl, Mystical World: The Now Age Guide to a High Vibe Life, and Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Laser Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol, are both published by HarperCollins and if that wasn’t enough, she also launched The Numinous Astro Deck, an astrology learning tool and oracle deck back in June 2019. Ruby is also the host of popular podcasts The Now Age and Sober Curious (the latter of which I cry on when she interviewed me - I had a podcast vulnerability hangover but apparently it was podcast gold :-))

In this episode we discuss: 

• What was the thinking behind the term “Sober Curious”?
• Hangovers
• The impact of drinking 
• Spirituality and Sobriety - what are the links?
• Creativity and sobriety
• The wilderness of sobriety…. And how to overcome it.

ABOUT THE SHOW

TIWIK is a love letter to my younger self. A conversation about all the things we were told not to talk about. A sharing of knowledge, emotions and laughs. A potential handbook (or the audio equivalent) on how to master your mental health and fall back in love with yourself!

Nothing is off limits. We talk about everything from dating, suicide and mental health through to make up, skin care, magic and spirituality.

It's all the things I wish I'd known when I was younger so hopefully me and my guests will save you some heartache, provide some laughs, and inspire you to try something new helping you to grow from the inside out.
