And just like you, I wear a lot of different hats. I’m an author, podcaster and product creator. I’m a busy wife and mama, a small business owner, a daughter, sister and friend, and the founder of Ruth Soukup Omnimedia.
I originally started this company in 2010 as more of a creative outlet than anything else. As the mom of two toddlers, I was desperate to get my home and budget under control, and I found that writing about my own journey of trying to live well and spend less gave me the much-needed accountability that I needed to create real change in my life.
As it turns out, it was a journey that resonated with so many others, and over the years our community has grown to more than 1 million women worldwide, while this company has grown far beyond my wildest dreams.
These days our mission is pretty simple–to help you create a life you LOVE by providing practical tools & resources, along with the motivation to actually use them.
Because we realize that while all the practical how-to is essential–especially when it comes to getting your home in order, becoming a better time-manager, or building an online business—we also need the ongoing motivation and encouragement to actually make all those much-needed changes in our lives.
If this is your first time visiting, I’d love for you to get to know me better. The best way to do that is by connecting with me on Instagram, as well as by joining our email list HERE. And then, if you’ve got lots of time, you might also want to check out my depression story, or else read why I took my kids’ toys away or why I make my bed every day. That will pretty much bring you up to speed with where I’ve been, who I am, and how I tick.
But please don’t think that I am doing this all alone! In fact this company would not exist without the daily efforts of my incredible team.
With a community of more than one million monthly readers, this business has blossomed far beyond what I could possibly manage all on my own.
Thankfully, I don’t have to, because I have these amazingly dedicated and talented people by my side. There might be bigger companies out there, but I promise you will not find a better team anywhere on earth!
LWSL Board of Directors President
Chuck is my amazing husband, the stay-at-home dad to our two beautiful girls, the packer of lunches, overseer of homework, master of laundry stains, and daily runner of a gazillion errands. In addition to sitting on the LWSL Board of Directors and helping with bookkeeping, he is the one who keeps me balanced and sane. We would be lost without him.
