Ruthie Lindsey on Falling in Love and Embracing Your Shadow

Ruthie Lindsey is back on the podcast this week for a fantastic conversation about all things love. Ruthie shared her incredibly powerful life story with Raw Beauty Talks in 2020 - If you haven’t listened to that episode, be sure to start there: https://rawbeauty.co/the-journey-from-hopeless-to-healing-with-ruthie-lindsey/

Ruthie is the author of the memoir ‘There I Am, The Journey From Hopelessness To Healing’, a speaker and a midwife of souls. She helps people feel endeared to their own life, body and soul. 

She shares a remarkable story of surviving an accident as a teenager where she had a five percent chance to live and a one percent chance to walk, and the surgery that simultaneously saved and destroyed her body. But her message is one of strength and resilience. To see the invitation of pain and to remember all that is so right with us, not what’s wrong with us. She has spoken alongside renowned activists and writers such as Brené Brown, Glennon Doyle and Luvvie Ajayi.

Join us today as we talk about the beauty of falling in love with an intentional and open heart, and the importance that shadow work can play in your own journey of healing and self love.
