Summary

Ruthie Lindsey is a true healing inspiration, an author, a speaker, a podcast host, and one of the most incredible humans. This Spring, she released her life-changing healing memoir, “There I Am,” her beautiful story of overcoming pain after being hit by an ambulance at 17 years old and then being the only person on earth to have a wire poking into her brains team. She identified with her pain story for many years because it made her who she is — but that is not who she is anymore.

If you’ve heard her story before, this is going to be a different angle entirely, which we are so excited about. Rather than talking about her pain story, we focus on her healing journey to share that hope is possible, and how lovely and glorious and full of playful energy life can be on the other side of pain.

We get into water fasting, ayahuasca, journal speak, plant medicine, shamanism and so much more. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

0:00.0	Hello my loves! Welcome back to the Balanced Bond podcast, Soul on Fire. I am your host, Jordan
0:18.4	Younger, and on this podcast we go deep with so many different guests who set our souls
0:24.7	on fire. And today is no exception with the beautiful Ruthie Lindsey. Someone who inspires
0:31.1	me so so so very much and I'm so honored to have her on the show. She has been such a
0:36.4	dream guest for a very long time so this is exciting and something that we've been trying
0:41.7	to plan forever so it finally happened and she is our 199th episode so that's kind of
0:48.1	a big deal. I absolutely love that she's here. Ruthie is an author, a speaker, a podcast
0:54.2	host and all around amazing human. She recently came out with her life-changing healing memoir
1:00.2	called There I Am, which I devoured at the beginning of this quarantine and I cannot
1:05.8	recommend it highly enough. If you want to learn all about Ruthie's pain story and overcoming
1:11.1	pain then you gotta read this book. At 17 years old she was hit by an ambulance and the
1:17.6	accident broke her neck and she was given a 5% chance to live. She is the only person in
1:23.4	the entire world who has had a wire poking into her brainstem and if you can even imagine
1:30.4	the pain in that she lived in bed for many years. She writes all about it in her book. Of
1:36.3	course I related very heavily because of the healing journey that I have also been on.
1:42.8	And in this episode we do not talk much about Ruthie's pain story and that was a conscious
1:49.3	choice. My friends because we wanted to talk about her healing. We wanted to share and
1:54.9	give hope that healing is possible even for people who are in the worst amount of chronic
2:01.6	pain that you could ever imagine. And Ruthie and I clearly have a lot in common we met
2:08.1	because we both have been through so much chronic pain. We have a mutual friend Lauren
2:13.9	Roxbrill who knew that I had been such a fan of Ruthie's for a long time so she invited
2:19.3	me over one night to meet Ruthie. And of course I was such a fan girl and I was so excited
