ABOUT

Perhaps best known as the creator of the term Sober Curious, I wrote the 2018 book and host of the million-download podcast of the same title—work that has spearheaded a global movement to reevaluate our relationship to alcohol. My other books include Material Girl, Mystical World (2017), The Numinous Astro Deck  (2019), and The Sober Curious Reset (2020). With 25 years’ experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, I am fascinated by how our individual life choices both influence and are shaped by emerging cultural movements—a perspective that I bring to my work as a manuscript coach and publishing consultant. My new book, Women Without Kids, is out now.

BOOKS

Women Without Kids

“This isn’t a book about not having kids for the defiantly childfree. This is a book about motherhood under patriarchy—about becoming mothers, not becoming mothers, choices and non-choices and consequences and the things that separate us and keep us chained to a toxic cultural heritage. A startling, confronting, and liberating treatise.” – Holly Whitaker

PODCASTS

My two podcasts are Sober Curious and Women Without Kids.

With my million-download Sober Curious podcast, I speak to all kinds of folks about their relationships to booze, as well as how to navigate life as a non-drinker in a world that loves to get wasted.

Women Without Kids features research interviews with leading authors, philosophers, healers, activists, anthropologists, and social scientists, originally conducted for my book of the same title.

Work with Ruby

In my capacity as an editor and “book doula,”  I assist individuals in every step of the publishing process—from helping concept and structure their ideas, to writing their book proposal, to editing their complete manuscript. I also work with emerging authors to self-publish with Numinous Books.

“Ruby helped me wade through a sea of ideas. She then helped me organize and craft my completed manuscript in a way that could reach the masses.” – Alexandra Roxo, author, F*ck Like A Goddess
