create a life you love

As featured on

hey there, I'm Ruth

And just like you, I wear lots of different hats.

I’m a New York Times bestselling author, an entrepreneur, and product creator. I’m also a wife and mom, a daughter, sister and friend, and a depression survivor. And, if I’m being completely honest, a lot of the time, I am one hot mess!

But I’ve also learned that in life, there are no mistakes, only lessons, and that all the good stuff comes through the struggle, and my greatest mission is to help you create a life you love by providing the tools, resources, and motivation to help you get there.

Let me ask you something...

Do you ever feel like you are standing on the sidelines of your own life?

Afraid to take that next step, afraid to wholeheartedly pursue your biggest goals and dreams, or afraid to admit, even to yourself, (much less anyone else) that something might just be missing?

Maybe you’ve spent so much time taking care of the people around you that you’ve lost yourself in the process. Maybe you’re ready for a change, but scared of making a mistake. Maybe you just feel like there is just too much to do and never enough time to get it all done. Maybe you’re not even sure what it is that you want, you just know that where you are at right now doesn’t feel like quite enough.

And if any of this sounds like you, I’m here to tell you that you’re in the right place.

“Courage means taking action despite your fear.”

Ted Talk

What you don’t know about your fear CAN hurt you – here’s why:

The truth is the underlying cause of almost all the self-sabotage that happens in our life–especially  when it comes to making big changes or going after big goals–happens as a direct result of FEAR. Not the phobia kind of fear, like the fear of snakes or the fear of flying, but a deeper, more internal kind of fear.

And while fear impacts all of us in one way or another, how it actually shows up looks very different from person to person.

So why does that matter?

Watch Ruth’s TEDx Talk as she unpacks HOW your fear is showing up in your life. And what’s more, actually identifying your fear is so powerful that it works almost instantly.

Face your fears

What would you do if fear no longer stood in your way?

We tell ourselves we are too busy to pursue our dreams. That there’s no time, or that it’s not practical. But what if the real reason we’re putting off our goals is FEAR?

But how do we face those fears and take that first step in the right direction? How do we overcome those obstacles that stand in our way and sometimes feel insurmountable?

Equal parts inspiration and tough love, Do It Scared combines easy-to-implement practical tips with the much-needed motivation to start making real changes that lead to big results. From discovering your unique Fear Archetype™ to adopting the Principles of Courage, this is the book that might just change everything.
