  • Epidsode 429: Veronica Woodruff
    Jun 20 2025

    Veronica Woodruff is a Canadian author, public speaker, and award-winning professional whose career spans leadership, environmental science, and civic engagement. In 2025, she published her debut book, Blind Drunk: A Sober Look at Our Boozy Culture, a powerful exploration of alcohol’s pervasive influence on North American society—framed through both scientific insight and personal experience.Woodruff’s journey to authorship began with a deeply personal essay published in Pique Newsmagazine in early 2023, where she candidly shared her lifelong struggle with binge drinking and her path to sobriety. The story struck a chord, drawing hundreds of messages from readers across the country—many of whom credited her vulnerability with inspiring their own reevaluation of alcohol.Raised in a home marked by both privilege and instability, Woodruff experienced the collapse of her family’s wealth due to her father’s alcoholism. She entered the foster care system at 15, working minimum-wage jobs while building resilience and independence. Despite early adversity, she pursued higher education, ultimately earning a Master of Arts in Leadership and a background in environmental science. Over the next three decades, she established herself as a respected thought leader, publishing scientific research, leading public engagement initiatives, and working with governments, consultancies, and non-profits.Her transition into authorship was guided by mentorship and a pivotal moment at the Whistler Writers Festival, where she realized her personal narrative could serve as a broader social critique. Blind Drunk was born not only as a memoir, but as a cultural analysis—interrogating how alcohol is woven into everything from après-ski rituals and book clubs to corporate conferences and family dinners.A certified speaker with the International Association for Public Participation, Woodruff brings both evidence-based insight and lived experience to her work. She unpacks the myths surrounding "moderate drinking," critiques outdated public health messaging, and opens an honest conversation about how society normalizes dependency on alcohol.While Blind Drunk is not intended to be self-help, it does offer readers a mirror and a map: reflecting our collective relationship with alcohol, while exploring what it means to live consciously in a culture that often drinks blindly.
