Summary

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Soukup is dedicated to helping women everywhere create a life they love, encouraging her more than 1 million subscribers to follow their dreams and reach their goals. She is the host of the wildly popular Do It Scared podcast, as well as the founder of the Living Well Planner® and Elite Blog Academy®, as well as the author of six books, including her newest bestseller, Do It Scared®: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Obstacles, and Create a Life You Love. Her practical advice has been featured all over, including Family Circle, Entrepreneur, TIME and Fox News. Ruth has been on my radar for years. She is widely known to be a powerhouse of a story teller, creator, and leader. I was so touched when she said she would be a guest on the show. And I was deeply honored when she shared what she wanted to talk about. We dig deep into her past as she uncovers how she went from an extremely hopeless rock bottom season to actively choosing to live. Listen in to hear Ruth share: How the trauma from her childhood sexual abuse resurfaced as depression in college and led to her first suicide attempt The one thing that helped her regain a will to live after 2.5 years of being hospitalzed for multiple suicide attempts How she and her therapist shifted their conversation into a journey to live instead of always living in the past and processing trauma The power of looking back and identifying your rock bottom moments in order to find power & strength in future hard seasons of your life Why it’s ok to let others hold hope for you if you can’t hold it for yourself The first tiny step to take if you’re in a rock bottom situation or really hard season Her advice for moms who looking to change paths in life Links mentioned: Join my free Hope, Happiness, and Mental Health Challenge Join Ruth’s Activate program Learn your fear archetype: Do It Scared Ruth on social media: @ruthsoukup @livingwellspendingless @livingwellplanner @eliteblogacademy Read about Ruth’s mental health journey from the very beginning Thank you to our sponsor: Talkspace: To match with your perfect therapist for a fraction of the price of traditional therapy, go to https://www.talkspace.com/, Make sure to use the code SHAMELESS to get $100 off your first month and show your support for the show.
