    51: Redefining Motherhood & Sobriety with Ruby Warrington

    Shape Your Foundation 3-Day Retreat: The Women in the Family

    In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat is joined by Ruby Warrington, author of "Sober Curious," "The Sober Curious Reset," and her latest book, "Women Without Kids," to discuss the intersections of sobriety, redefining motherhood, and finding freedom in our choices.

    The conversation begins with Ruby sharing her personal journey to sobriety and how it led her to explore spirituality. She highlights the importance of exploring sobriety as a tool for personal growth, rather than just a means of quitting alcohol.

    The discussion then moves to the societal expectations placed on mothers and the need to redefine motherhood and find freedom in our choices. Ruby challenges the belief that motherhood should be the primary focus of a woman's life and encourages us to create our own definitions of motherhood.

    Lisane and Ruby then dive into Ruby's latest book, "Women Without Kids," which explores the stigma surrounding women who choose not to have children and the societal pressures they face. Ruby discusses how she hopes the book will encourage conversations around this topic and provide support to women who have made this choice.

    Finally, Ruby shares how she found spirituality as a means of connecting with something greater than herself and how it has been a transformative experience on her journey towards freedom.Key Takeaways:

    49: Mindful Living: Prioritizing Self-Care and Mental Health with Oliver Chittenden

    49: Mindful Living: Prioritizing Self-Care and Mental Health with Oliver Chittenden

    This week I’m joined by Oliver Chittenden, the founder of Head Talks, a site that gathers hundreds of educational and inspirational stories about the different ways people care for their mental and emotional well-being. The site has been dubbed TED Talks for the mind. We’re talking about how to build your own toolbox for your mental and emotional health. We’re all unique individuals with different needs and one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for everyone. And even as the stigma surrounding mental health melts away, we need to learn to recognize what makes our own struggles, recoveries, and successes our own. We’ll talk a little bit about Oliver's own journey to self discovery and how he hopes to help people everywhere get to know themselves better and find the tools that work best for them. If hearing new perspectives on finding a healthy balance for your mental health is exciting to you like it is for me, I think you’ll love listening to my conversation with Oliver Chittenden.
