Ruby Warrington discusses her upbringing in England and how a controlling relationship pushed her to fiercely protect her burgeoning career, which ultimately led to her founding The Numinous. She explains how her spiritual practices and community provided the relaxation and connection she once sought from alcohol, leading her to question her drinking habits. Rejecting the traditional AA model, she coined the term 'sober curious' and wrote a book to explore a holistic approach to sobriety. Ruby shares how her own positive changes inspired her husband to quit drinking, deepening their connection. She also opens up about her rock bottom after her first book launch, which was tied to unmet expectations and a need for external validation. The conversation concludes with advice on balancing a passionate career with a long-term relationship and promoting upcoming retreats focused on manifesting and community.
