The most personal pros & cons of having kids episode yet: mine and Zack's! Realistically, how do you go about making a decision that you know will change your life? Zack and I walk through our decision on whether or not we will be having children and all of the research, data, and conversations with experts and friends that went into it. Lots of factors play into the decision to have children, from work-life balance to financial strain, not to mention concerns about whether you would enjoy parenting itself in practice. Ultimately, while data and research can help us make informed decisions, they cannot make our decisions for us. We had to make this decision for ourselves knowing that there is no true wrong or right choice. Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

Male infertility accounts for half of all IVF cases, so why does society so often consider it a ‘women's issue'? We get into the taboo around fertility and masculinity, as well as the thorny topics of egg freezing, the 'queer tax' and the commodification of reproduction in this second part of our exploration of why more and more people are putting off having children. We also dive into plenty of other unspeakable truths, from 'unnatural' parents, the fantasy mother vs monster mother tropes in Hollywood, and loss of identity. Plus, we discuss some of the most joyous things about being a parent, how social media is shaping parenthood norms, and much more. As mentioned in last week's intro, this is the part two of our Big Kids Question re-run , so that our new listeners can discover the two episodes we're proudest of, and because it feels so timely still given November's new fertility data!

HOW TO BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY: Why build a neighborhood community: 1.Learn History form others - build diversity, 2.Listen to true LIFE LESSONS: 3.GAIN SUPPORT FROM OTHERS Learning history from others can be eye opening.  We are facing book banning, news coverage that manipulates us.. however… history happened to people who can tell you what they witnessed. They can also tell you their experiences.  No alternative facts either.. For instance: The incredible pilot Captain Chesley, (Sully) who landed the Airbus A320on the Hudson River.  I lived in NY when this happened. In 1965 When the former John Lewis, famous civil rights leader, marched across the Bridge to Montgomery for Voting Rights.  When you build a diverse community- you can hear first hand these amazing events from people who were there. Listening to true life lessons.. have you ever listened to immigrants or the elderly tell their stories of how they came to America to create a better Life? Where I used to live in Croton on Hudson, IMMIGRANTS  built the Croton Reservoir (ITALIANS mostly).  That Croton Reservoir supplies fresh water to New York City.. Or How the MIKATO INN was built for the silent film stars from NYC by the Japanese.  This was built by the Japanese and the silent film stars would come there to perform and vacation. ( I lived in this “now renovated into apartments” Mikado inn..   Gain Support from your neighbors.  It's important to get to know your neighbors.  For instance,   I bike everywhere now, throughout my neighborhood to shop, work.  Three of my neighbors are always telling me they will gladly give me a RIDE when it is bad weather or whenever I want a lift.  More importantly, let's just check in with each other!  Captain Chesley.

Lessons from the Monarch Butterfly   Recently I learned in an accidental “experiment”, how to increase the birth and release of Monarchs by twenty times the usual low number.  I have a Monarch butterfly garden at our GULFPORT COMMUNITY GARDEN for three years.  The "birth rate" has only been a few butterfies. Amazingly, though, here are two lessons that you can glean from this incident with a new volunteer fellow gardener: First: Don't let anyone tell you that you are WRONG especially when they first meet you!  Trust in your OWN RESEARCH AND EXPERTS. Second: When working with MOTHER NATURE'S CREATIONS, if you DISCOVER  a better way to IMPROVE the lives and habitat of an endangered species, SHARE your discovery with others… Listen to the podcast for the backstory.  Kundalini  yoga:  feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!!

If you've ever faced the unsolicited question, “When are you having kids?” or the comment, “But you'd be such a great mother,” this episode is here to offer support and perspective. Karena sits down with Ruby Warrington, author, podcast host, and creator of the Sober Curious movement, whose new book and podcast, Women Without Kids, is reframing what it means to choose a child-free life. In this conversation, Ruby and Karena explore how complex family histories, including experiences of parentification, shaped their views on motherhood. They discuss how both couples have navigated the decision to remain child-free, managed familial and societal pressures and navigated the isolating “othering” that many child-free women experience.

This week on The Labia Lounge podcast I invited Ruby Warrington (the author of Women Without Kids - The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood) on to take a deep dive into the complexities of women's decisions surrounding motherhood. We explore the societal pressures, judgment, and stigma faced by women who choose not to become mothers, where they're either seen as sadly childless (insert: barren, infertile, unable to have children, lonely and purposeless) OR selfishly child-free (insert more assumptions and judgements: heartless, narcissistic, abnormal, lacking basic maternal, nurturing instincts...)Throughout the episode, we discuss the personal and nuanced decision-making process behind not having children, the societal expectations placed on women, and the impact of intergenerational trauma. We also touch on the societal benefits of not everyone having children and the broader implications of declining birth rates worldwide.From the societal impact of the 0rgasm gap and men's 0rgasmic entitlement, to "child-free by climate change" and other existential reflections around bringing kids into the world we now live in, this episode tackles thought-provoking topics and encourages listeners to question traditional narratives around motherhood and female fulfillment. Join us as we delve into meaningful conversations about womanhood, conditioning and external pressures to blindly follow along with the default expectation that all women should automatically become mothers, instead of carefully considering this as one of, if not THE, biggest and most impactful decision of one's life!Check out Ruby's work here: https://www.rubywarrington.com/Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!Make sure you're subscribed for more LL action, and it'd absolutely warm my heart and tickle my clit if you'd leave a gushing review or five star rating for the poddy!*** Join my Labia Lounge Facebook group for extra content, Q & As, freebies from my guests, discounts and to be part of a rad and supportive community of labial legends! www.facebook.com/groups/thelabialounge/Get my FREE mini-course P*ssy Pleasure Secrets - Your Roadmap to Bedroom Bliss here: https://freya-graf.xperiencify.io/expiring-mini-course/order/Grab a P*ssy Magnet and check out the new Labia Lounge MERCH over here (there's even fanny packs if the standard tote bags and tees ain't cuttin' it for ya!): https://www.freyagraf.com/productsonline-trainingsAnd chuck me a follow here: https://www.instagram.com/freyagraf_thelabialounge/AND here: (my backup account cos I keep offending the Algorithms-that-be) https://www.instagram.com/freya.graf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freyagraf?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcAnd on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/LtyN8BQg-zkOr support me and the poddy by buying me an extra hot soy chai latte (yes, that is my coffee order cos I'm a bit of a tosser like that) here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/freyagraf Hosted on Acast.

WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

When you hear "...you'll regret it," what do you do? If you're someone who is of a certain *pre-45-ish* age, NOT a parent, and are either decidedly child-free or on the fence about this massive life decision, you're probably familiar with the REGRET conversation. (“You'll regret it when you're old” being the main thesis statement of that convo.) But beyond the parenthood conversation, it can seem like everything is wrapped up in the will-I-won't-I debate: work, job, relationships, even food. Regret is a big topic for a lot of us, so today, we're going there.  ~ SHOW NOTES: Listen to Episode 175 with Ruby Warrington Join THE WANT COMMUNITY (launching the first week of May!)

Today we're talking to Ruby Warrington all about being a Woman Without Kids, being "a village person," and the nuances of being child-free (by choice or by circumstance). IN THIS EPISODE, we get extremely candid as we talk about: The ways the parenthood vs. non-parenthood discussion has evolved, and ways it hasn't The "motherhood spectrum" vs. the motherhood binary Other people's opinions and cultural expectations / "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us Our inner "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us A new spin on the conversations around love and regret Navigating grief when you wanted to be a parent but it wasn't in the cards (childfree by circumstance) How to create a movement that matters ...and SO much more!  Ruby Warrington is a British-born author and editor, perhaps best known as the creator of the term “sober curious”. Her 2018 book and million-download podcast of the same title has helped to spearhead a global movement to reevaluate our relationship with alcohol. Her latest book, Women Without Kids, asks: “Instead of continuing to paint childfree women as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional, what if we saw them as boldly forging a first-in-a-civilization vision for a fully autonomous womankind? What if being a woman without kids was in fact its own kind of legacy?” Ruby's other works include Material Girl, Mystical World, The Numinous Astro Deck, and The Sober Curious Reset. With more than 20 years of experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, Ruby is also the founder of self-publishing imprint Numinous Books and is known as a true thought leader in the “Now Age” wellness space. ~ SHOW NOTES: Find Ruby at https://www.rubywarrington.com/ and on Instagram @rubywarrington Buy WOMEN WITHOUT KIDS Attend the CELEBRATE BEING CHILDFREE retreat at Kripalu with Rachel Cargle ~ BUY WANT YOUR SELF on...

But there are more and more women who are choosing to be childless by choice.  Bestselling author Ruby Warrington joins Brian, Sharna, and Randy to talk about her choice to not have children, the stigma of childlessness, and her journey to empower other women to not feel guilty or pressured to make a decision they can't take back.  The trio also chats with Ruby about the "sober curious" movement she started, including why she began to question her relationship with alcohol even though she didn't have a drinking problem. Plus, Randy opens up about why he started drinking heavily at a young age and how his relationship with alcohol changed as he got older.

One in four Americans is familiar with the term "sober curious", and author Ruby Warrington is the reason why. In this episode of The Selfish Gift, Ruby and host Maggie Langrick discuss the book that sparked the Sober Curious movement, as well as Ruby's new book, Women Without Kids. A common theme tying Ruby's books together is the importance of knowing oneself and being fully present in life, questioning societal expectations that can hinder this process, and embracing a rebellious spirit. Ruby also delves into the global trend of women reconsidering motherhood and the ecological and economic implications of population decline. As longtime book editors, Maggie and Ruby discuss the intersection of personal narrative and prescriptive nonfiction, and what new authors should consider when it comes to choosing a structure for their nonfiction book. Ruby opens up about her writing process, and how she navigates the public life/private life boundary, which can be especially tricky when writing about deeply personal—and possibly controversial—topics.In this episode, you'll learn:• The term Sober Curious coined by Ruby Warrington has sparked a global movement and given language to a mindset of exploring one's relationship with alcohol.• Choosing to be sober curious or child-free is a personal orientation that should be normalized, allowing individuals to make conscious choices about their own lives.• The decline in birth rates globally and the rise of women without kids challenge societal expectations and have ecological and economic implications.• Ruby Warrington's work encourages individuals to know themselves, be present, and question societal messages, embracing a rebellious spirit.• Living with integrity and authenticity means valuing the preciousness of the life you are living and standing firm in your integrity despite societal pressure.• When writing a nonfiction book, it's important to consider your storytelling style and how you like to deliver information.• A good structure is essential for any nonfiction book, regardless of the style.• Ruby Warrington takes a research-heavy approach to writing, collecting articles, research, and ideas before creating a loose structure for her books.For more, check outhttps://www.rubywarrington.com/https://www.the-numinous.com/And followhttps://instagram.com/rubywarringtonhttps://instagram.com/numinous_bookshttps://instagram.com/maggielangrickhttps://instagram.com/selfishgiftpodcasthttps://instagram.com/wonderwellpress#authoradvice #sobercurious #alcoholfree #publishingadvice #nonfiction #purpose #lifepurpose #authenticity #womenwithoutkids #childfree #feminist

This week Morgan DeBaun is joined by author Ruby Warrington, the creator of the term "sober curious," for a thought-provoking conversation on sobriety, the pressure to conform, and the nuances of being child-free in a world defined by expectations. Ruby shares her transformative journey of becoming sober curious, and choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle, and Morgan opens up about her personal realization during pregnancy on how deeply entrenched alcohol is within our culture. Together they discuss the challenges non-drinkers face, particularly in professional settings where alcohol often acts as a networking lubricant. Ruby boldly addresses how the lack of alternatives for non-drinkers can perpetuate a sense of exclusion, even hinting at a form of discrimination. As the holiday season approaches and social drinking is at a high, Ruby invites listeners to reevaluate their relationship with alcohol. She poses a powerful question: "Would my life be better without alcohol?" Steering the conversation into another significant aspect of personal choice, Ruby shares her experience as a woman who has chosen to be child-free. Both she and Morgan unpack the societal pressures on women regarding motherhood, challenging the stereotypes and implications associated with a woman's decision to not have children or to approach motherhood in a way that is deemed outside the norm. Reflecting on the battles fought by our foremothers for women's autonomy, Ruby highlights the privilege of choice and encourages intentional decision-making in all areas of life. Tune in to this engaging conversation that is sure to empower you to get sober curious, question societal norms, and embrace the freedom of choice in a world filled with expectations.  If you have any takeaways as you embark on your own sober curious journey, make sure to share with Morgan!

In today's episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Ruby Warrington, a best-selling author whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Ruby's books, 'Sober Curious' and her latest release 'Women Without Kids,' delve deep into the profound decisions that we often grapple with in our lives, particularly when it comes to the intricate path of motherhood. In this heartfelt conversation, Ruby generously shares her personal odyssey, taking us on a transformative journey that encompasses two of her most significant life questions. We explore her decision to embrace sobriety and her journey into mysticism, a path that led her to critically examine the role of children in her own life. Ruby opens up about those pivotal moments when she came to the realisation that her relationship with alcohol no longer served her spiritual growth. She candidly describes the shift from seeking solace in it to acknowledging that it conflicted with her true self, which is something I deeply relate to. Our discussion delves deep into Ruby's journey of self-discovery, where she courageously confronts her decision to remain child-free. She reflects on her upbringing and the complex dynamics within her family environment, shedding light on how they influenced her perspective. As we journey through her twenties, Ruby shares her thought-provoking experiences, marked by internalising societal pressures to become a mother. We ponder the rise of feminism in a predominantly masculine world and the influence it may have had on our own perceptions of motherhood and femininity. Questions arise: Can we maintain autonomy and pursue a career while being devoted mothers? Are we enough if we choose not to have children? Should we attempt to make ourselves want children to fit societal norms? Ruby takes us through her emotional yet liberating quest to answer these profound questions, ultimately leading her to write 'Women Without Kids.' This remarkable book provides much-needed balance and insight into the multifaceted aspects of this pivotal life choice. Throughout our conversation, Ruby offers sage advice to those wrestling with the complex and deeply personal decision of motherhood. She emphasises the importance of embracing a more balanced perspective and underscores that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. This episode is a testament to Ruby's journey and her unwavering commitment to empowering women to make choices that authentically align with their true selves.

You're at a dinner and everyone's having a lovely time, but you can't help but notice that for the last 35 minutes the conversation has centred around everyone's kids, and maybe that'd be okay if you had children too, but you don't, and you don't plan to anytime soon.    Here on the Friend Forward Podcast, we've discussed infertility and how to support friends who are on challenging journeys toward trying to have children, but we haven't spoken too much about friends who have actively chosen not to have kids, and the silent judgements that we might make about those friends.    Today on the Podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson is joined by Ruby Warrington, author of the book ‘Women Without Kids: The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood' to discuss the issue. They explore the reasons why some women choose to be childfree, some of the assumptions we might make about friends who make that choice, and how to foster understanding and support within friendships where one has chosen to have children, and the other has definitively chosen not to.    And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week's homework.   There is even more to this conversation between Danielle and Ruby, so to access the full discussion, as well as study guides, questions and activities, you can join the Friend Forward Private Group Chat at www.betterfemalefriendships.com   Click the ‘Follow' button now to not miss an episode.    To connect with Ruby Warrington, you can reach her at her Instagram.   To explore more of Danielle's friendship expertise, connect with her at www.instagram.com/daniellebayardjackson   Stay updated with the latest episodes and podcast updates at https://www.instagram.com/friendforward   To explore coaching with Danielle visit www.betterfemalefriendships.com/coaching   Join our private group chat for extra resources, at https://www.patreon.com/friendforward Book Danielle to speak at your upcoming conference or event, by emailing info@tellpublicrelations.com

Today's the day, Shandies! We've been wanting to cover the topic of childlessness for quite some time, and when Sharleen read Ruby Warrington's newest book, Women Without Kids, she wouldn't take no for an answer in getting Ruby on the podcast! This conversation is for every person, with or without kids. Few books have impacted Sharleen the way Ruby's did, and today we dive deep into the world of Womanhood WITHOUT Motherhood. How often have you heard terms like "maternal instinct" and "labor of love", or phrases like "You don't know true love until you have children" and "But who will look after you when you're old?" Today, with Ruby Warrington's expertise, we examine The Motherhood Spectrum, the truth behind "having it all", and whether or not we can argue with "nature". We discuss the (very real) fear of regret, finding meaning and legacy as a non-parent, the guilt in not bestowing our parents with grandchildren, how to age as a woman in our youth-obsessed society, and of course, Climate Change. This conversation will hopefully guide your heart and help you hear to something inside yourself, versus listening to what so many of us have been conditioned to believe for a lifetime. If you experience grief over the path not traveled or have felt your dearest friendships wither as you and/or your friends have started making babies, this episode is very much for you.

Whether or not to become a parent is a central question in life. There are many factors that influence the decision, some of which are out of our control. Yet foregoing motherhood, for any reason, can lead to painful stigmatization and conflict (within and without).  In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with thought leader and author Ruby Warrington, about her profound book Women Without Kids: The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood—and the long-overdue conversations we need to begin having as a society around this complicated topic. Tune in for a rich discussion of: the motherhood spectrum; the interwoven nature of choice and circumstance; the lack of support for—and the devaluing of—mothering in overall society; the global slowdown in reproduction rates for the past century; the concept of a birth strike; making peace with your choice to remain childless; fulfillment and being true to oneself; generativity and our sense of legacy; the "existential FOMO" that childless women may encounter; the complicated—and not always unconditional—love between a parent and child; regretting motherhood; the unfinished work of the feminist movement; healing the false divide between moms and non-moms; and more.
