British lifestyle journalist and author Ruby Warrington joins us to discuss two topics that are not only personal to her, but she has also written about: Choosing to be childless and exploring sobriety. Ruby and Stacy have a vulnerable conversation about what family means, what privilege looks like when making a choice outside of the societal norm and why leading with a question rather than an opinion can allow for deeper conversations about these topics.
