Privilege means being in the group where your needs are catered for without question.

So you don't have to even acknowledge that you have a need because you'll need you'll need to just automatically catered for by the way that society or the situation or whatever is set up.

Because you are quote unquote normal.

Welcome to The Whole View. I'm Stacey Toth of Real Everything, and I'm here each week to dive deeper into how we can find happiness and health inside and out through self-love, body positivity, and discovering new ways to be our best selves.

Before we get started, a reminder that this podcast is for general educational purposes and is not intended to diagnose,

or treat any physical or mental illness, And we always recommend that you see a licensed

health professional accordingly. So we don't think that that's really going to be the topic of

today. Ruby Warrington is our guest today. And we're talking about women without kids,

women who choose to be childless. And what that means in a society, but also from

a health and wellness perspective. And Ruby is also the author and expert on Sober Curious. So if you

haven't heard, Ruby Warrington is the British-born author and former Features Editor of the UK Sunday Times Style Magazine.

I feel very inept in my like, just got out of the shower sweatshirt attire here with you.

Recognized as a true thought leader in the personal development space, Ruby has the unique ability to identify issues that are destined to become part of the cultural narrative.

She founded the now age lifestyle platform, The Numinous.

And her books, as they mentioned before, include Material Girl, Mystical World, which is such a fun title, as well as Sober Curious and The Sober

Curious Reset, as well as the new women without kids. She now lives in Miami, Florida. So welcome to

the States and to the show, The Whole View. Well, thank you, Stacey, for having me. One small

correction there, I actually moved back to Brooklyn.

So I was in Miami for a year and a half, but Brooklyn is where I'm based now.

As a northeastern person, I'm going to say, welcome to the northern side, the better side.

Well, for those of us that are north, we think we're the best.

For those in the South, they think they're the best.
