    When ambition changes

    **When Ambition Changes** What happens when the life you've been working towards no longer feels like the life you actually want? In this episode, I explore how ambition evolves through different seasons of life, why I'm intentionally choosing freedom alongside meaningful work, and how redefining success has brought me closer to the life I want to build. If you've ever questioned whether your goals still fit who you are today, this episode is for you. ✨ I'd love to help you take the next step. DM me **RECLAIM** on Instagram and I'll send you my free **10 Minutes to Reclaim Your Life** worksheet—a guided reflection designed to help you reconnect with what matters most in this season of your life.

    How does your wallet reflect your priorities?

    Money is one of those things I sometimes wish didn't exist... but since it does, I want to be intentional about how I use it. In this episode, I'm sharing how I (very imperfectly) use the VIP framework—Values, Identity, and Priorities—to guide my spending, saving, and investing. I'm definitely not a financial expert, and I'm still figuring out budgeting systems that work for me. But I've found that looking at money through the lens of alignment has helped me make decisions that feel more intentional and much more like *me*. In this episode, I talk about: * How my values create "guard rails" around spending. * Why it's okay to spend money on things that genuinely bring you joy. * Saving for what matters most * Investing in the person * Why I'm building systems instead of relying on willpower. * The monthly budget check-ins I'm starting to help myself stay on course. This isn't about having a perfect budget. It's about making sure your money is helping you build a life that feels aligned with who you are. I'd love to hear what resonated with you. What does your spending say about your values?

    Foundations First

In this episode, Ruth shares reflections from her mid-year review, exploring values, identity, alignment, and wellbeing. Inspired by concepts from te ao Māori and her own work around Values, Identity, and Priorities, she unpacks why living in alignment with what matters most might be one of the most important foundations we can build.

    Why ‘Just Do It’ isn’t always great advice

    n this episode of Doing It Messy, Ruth explores why “just do it” can sometimes feel dismissive rather than motivating. Through personal stories about health anxiety, parenting, ADHD, and relationships, she reflects on the importance of empathy, emotional validation, and understanding that different people struggle with different things. The episode encourages listeners to approach themselves and others with more curiosity and kindness, and to ask not “why can’t you just do it?” but “what do you need?”
