Quietly Ambitious is a podcast for sensitive and ambitious online business owners and creatives, that dives deep into how it really feels – and what it really takes – to build a business that honours our whole self, unapologetically. And that includes who we are, how we feel, what we really desire, the impact we want to create and – importantly – the money we want to make.

Expect real and honest conversations that go straight to the heart of what really matters, plus solo episodes from me about the always-rewarding, and often challenging, journey of self-expression, business building and owning those big dreams & desires as a sensitive and ambitious human.

    The Finale | 131

    There once was a woman who had a nagging idea but was terrified to share it with the world. It was an idea that wouldn’t leave her (even though it felt ridiculous and not for “someone like her”), and she didn’t really have a clue what she was doing. But she took the leap, she committed to doing it for at least a year, and she had no idea that it would become the key to not only finding but also bravely using her voice. Eventually she used it to support a whole new business, documenting every failed experiment along the way, and happily calling in clients who shared how much it meant to them, and she even used it to help her write and release a book into the world. It became something she loved to do, something she KNEW she was good at, and one of the best decisions she ever made. This is the story of the Quietly Ambitious podcast, and this is the final episode.

    2022 Review & BIG Update | 128

    2022 was a year of massive personal growth behind the scenes, ending with some huge changes in my business (the latest of which I’ll share at the end of this review). I got more visible than ever before, publishing my book, hosting my first summit, doubling my email list and tripling the number of students in my courses, and took 5 weeks off in the Caribbean. This is my year in review.

Supportive, honest and practical advice

These podcasts and all of Ruth’s content has been a guiding light for me ..,makes me feel less inhibited about moving out of my comfort zone.

Laura - Strike the Match ,

Wow

I’ve only listened to two episodes so far but Ruth and her interviewees have already given me so much to think about. Essential listening for creative business owners at the more thoughtful end of the spectrum.

TherapyInTheShed ,

What a gem

Ruth’s Creatively Human podcast has been one of my lockdown highlights. It’s inclusive of anyone who feels they want to access the creative side within them (we all have one). It touches so much on finding your own identity and sense of self, understanding your own rhythms and accessing the courage to act and create change in your life. The interviews and people she has conversations with are inspiring and insightful and so are Ruth’s *solo pods*. She has such a mellow but empowering vibe and I’ve recommended her to so many people who agree ✨
