ABOUT
Perhaps best known as the creator of the term Sober Curious, I wrote the 2018 book and hosted the million-download podcast of the same title—work that has spearheaded a global movement to reevaluate our relationship with alcohol. My other non-fiction books include Material Girl, Mystical World (2017), and The Sober Curious Reset (2020), and Women Without Kids (2023). With 25+ years’ experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, I’m fascinated by how our individual life choices both influence and are shaped by emerging cultural movements—a perspective I also bring to my work as a proposal coach and manuscript consultant. My new book, The Content Diet, a “sober curious” approach to internet and tech addiction, is out Dec 2026.

BOOKS
The Content Diet
“Ruby offers a thoughtful and provocative exploration of how the content we consume shapes our attention, relationships, creativity, and sense of self. The Content Diet challenges readers to become more intentional about what they allow into their minds and presents a compelling framework for reclaiming agency in an age of endless distraction.” – Nir Eyal, NYT bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief
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, NYT bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman
The Sober Curious Reset
“Ruby brilliantly leads the reader through the big psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual stumbling blocks to dropping booze. If curiosity is the key to transformation, then this is the roadmap for transforming your relationship to alcohol.” – Laura McKowan, bestselling author of We Are The Luckiest
Sober Curious
“Ruby Warrington leads us into a new vision of what our lives can be like without alcohol—one where we can deepen our health, reclaim our power, and enjoy a greater sense of fulfillment in all areas of modern life.” – Diego Perez (@yung_pueblo), NYT bestselling author of Inward and Clarity & Connection
Material Girl, Mystical World
“Makes the mystical accessible and cool, and reminds us that to truly thrive we must learn to embrace our capacity for wonder and spirituality, and engage with something larger than ourselves.” – Arianna Huffington
The Numinous Astro Deck
Comprised of 45 cards (12 signs, 12 houses, 14 planets and points, 7 aspects), each provides an overview of the traits associated with its sign, house, planet, and more. A companion book co-authored by astrologer Bess Matassa, explains how to use the cards for birth chart interpretation, and as an oracle deck for divination.
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.
