Why Your Body Is the Biggest Gateway to Your Healing, With Ruthie Lindsey

Welcome to the Limitless Life™ Podcast. Today, we’re chatting about how one woman’s immense trauma and pain led her to true peace, deep connection, and ultimately, self love.

What is up Limitless Lifers! I am soo thrilled to bring you today’s episode with Ruthie Lindsey, who I think is a human superhero. When Ruthie was 17, she was hit by an ambulance outside of a gas station. She broke her neck, punctured her lungs, and ruptured her spleen. Doctors performed a spinal cord fusion using wire and miraculously, she walked out of the hospital within a month. But a few years later and newly married, even slight movements would send intense pain throughout Ruthie’s entire body. She became depressed, bed-ridden, and addicted to narcotic painkillers. Doctors said that the wire holding her neck together was now piercing her brain stem. As she prepared for one of the biggest surgeries of her life, her marriage began to fall apart, her father passed away suddenly, and Ruthie felt utterly broken, inside and out.

That is, until she decided to shift her thinking. Now, Ruthie is a sought-after speaker, podcast host, social media superstar, and author of the recent book, There I Am: The Journey from Hopelessness to Healing. She’s also one of the happiest and most loving people I’ve ever met! In this interview, we talk about how Ruthie experienced some of the lowest lows possible -- and at such a young age -- and was able to rebuild her life from the ground up with more freedom, joy, courage, and self-love. This conversation is SO inspiring -- not only does Ruthie have such a beautiful way with words and an incredible story to tell, but I know you’ll see yourself in pieces of her story, too. I can’t wait for you to listen! Let’s dive in.
