Women Without Kids

Ruby’s work is always ahead of her time. First with creating the term *sober curious* and now leading a nuanced conversation about women without kids. Check out this podcast and definitely order her book(s)!

I’m really conflicted with this podcast. I appreciate the thoughtful interviews, but the most recent episode with the woman who had permanent sterilization was strange. Ruby was discussing workaround plans for the woman “in case she changed her mind”…!!! As young childfree women, we get enough of this unwarranted feedback in the world, and we don’t need to ingest more media saying so. Also several of the episodes feel like Ruby is looking to be validated in her choice not to have kids. As a 32 year old I’m looking more for other and older women who are as steadfast in their choice as I am- I’d love to hear about the life that would have been unlived had she had children. I pre-ordered the book and I’m hoping this interview does not reflect the tenor of the text.

What a gift- bringing us such visionary ideas again and again x

This is a game changer
