This isn’t your typical Thanksgiving gratitude episode. In one of her most honest and heartfelt episodes yet, Ruth Soukup reflects on the moments in her life and business that looked like colossal mistakes—but turned out to be the greatest teachers. From hitting rock bottom in her twenties, to quitting law school, to walking away from her successful blog brand, Ruth shares how failure, loss, and reinvention shaped who she is today.

You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on what it really means to be grateful—and a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest things are the ones that matter most.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your biggest failures might be your greatest gifts
• The power of letting go of identities that no longer fit
• What the Stockdale Paradox is—and why it matters for resilience
• How to reframe your "mistakes" as growth moments
• Why it's okay to quit, pivot, and evolve

Key Quotes:

• “There is always a way back.”
• “You don’t owe the world a version of yourself that no longer exists.”
• “Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is let go of what was.”
• “You confront the brutal facts—and you never lose hope.”
• “Not the mistakes themselves, but what they taught me. That’s what I’m grateful for.”

When’s the last time you truly felt like yourself—not the version of you performing for your family, clients, or social media, but the real you underneath all the roles you play? In this soul-searching episode, Ruth peels back the layers on the identity masks so many of us wear, and dives deep into the fears and conditioning that have kept us pretending instead of living.

She unpacks why we feel so exhausted (spoiler: it’s not just from being busy), and offers a powerful, step-by-step framework to help you reclaim your authentic self, reconnect with your values, and start building a life that actually fits you—not everyone else’s expectations.

Whether you’ve been feeling lost, burned out, or just stuck in autopilot, this episode is your permission slip to stop performing and start becoming again.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why so many women lose touch with their authentic identity
• How fear archetypes shape the masks we wear
• The signs you're living out of alignment with your true self
• A 4-part framework to rediscover who you really are
• Why reclaiming your identity is the key to creating a life you love

Key Quotes:

• “You’re not burned out from doing too much. You’re burned out from pretending too much.”
• “Your identity isn’t something you earn by performing. It’s something you reclaim by remembering.”
• “You can’t build a life you love if you’re ignoring the very things that make you YOU.”
• “Authenticity isn’t rebellion. It’s alignment.”

Feeling stuck, uninspired, or just going through the motions? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode, Ruth pulls back the curtain on a sneaky but dangerous place so many of us find ourselves in: maintenance mode—where life looks “fine” on the outside, but feels flat and joyless on the inside.

If you’ve lost sight of your dreams, can’t remember the last time you felt excited, or feel like you're drifting without direction, this conversation is your wake-up call.

Ruth unpacks why this happens, how to recognize the signs, and the exact 5-step framework she uses (and teaches) to reignite purpose, rebuild vision, and reclaim a life that actually lights you up. Plus, she shares real-life transformation stories from women who’ve done this work—and how you can too.

This is the clarity you’ve been craving.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to recognize when you’ve slipped into maintenance mode (and why it’s so dangerous)
• Why goal-setting doesn’t work when you’re disconnected from your desires
• Where real joy comes from—and why it’s not achievement
• The 5-step Ignite Your Drive framework for getting unstuck
• Why you can’t afford to wait for the “right time” to go after what you want

Key Quotes:

• “Maintenance mode steals your joy without you even realizing it.”
• “You weren’t meant to just survive your life—you were meant to actually live it.”
• “Joy doesn’t come from arriving. It comes from striving toward something that matters.”
• “You can’t create a plan without a vision. And you can’t have a vision if you’ve forgotten what you want.”

If it feels like nothing in your business is working anymore, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the eye-opening results from a recent survey of hundreds of online business owners—results that revealed one staggering truth: 91% of respondents feel lost, stuck, or uncertain about what’s actually working in their business right now.

We’ll unpack the real reasons behind this widespread burnout and confusion (hint: it’s not your fault), the massive shift that's happening in the online business landscape, and the exact framework I’m using—and teaching—to help business owners not just survive this new era, but thrive.

This isn’t about tweaking your funnel or posting more content. It’s about rewiring your business for trust, connection, and sustainability—before it’s too late.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why traditional marketing tactics are failing—and what’s replacing them
• The “trust recession” and how it’s quietly killing conversions
• The 3-pillar system I’m using to generate daily sales (without burning out)
• Why automation isn’t the answer—and what to focus on instead
• How to build real connection at scale in the age of AI

Key Quotes:

• “It’s not that you’re doing something wrong—it’s that the entire landscape has changed.”

Some lessons you can only learn the hard way—and believe me, I’ve learned my share.

In this raw and reflective episode, I’m sharing five of the most important truths I’ve learned the long way—about business, about life, and about becoming the kind of woman who creates both with intention.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re spinning your wheels, or unsure how to move forward, these are the truths I wish someone had told me 10 (or 20!) years ago. They’re the lessons that changed everything—not because they were easy, but because they were real.

Let’s get honest about what it really takes to build a business and life you actually love.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why waiting for rescue is the fastest way to stay stuck
• The real difference between emotional spiral and mental strength
• How structure actually creates freedom (not friction)
• Why setting the “wrong” goal might be exactly what you need
• What most high-achievers get wrong about joy—and how to fix it

Key Quotes:

• “Nobody is coming to save you. But the good news? You don’t need them to.”
• “Mental strength is a muscle—and you train it by the way you talk to yourself.”
• “Structure doesn’t trap you—it frees you. Without it, you drift.”
• “Purpose doesn’t come from picking the perfect goal. It comes from movement.”
• “Joy isn’t a finish line. It’s available now—in the middle of the mess.”

Let’s talk about the invisible force that’s keeping you stuck—even when you know exactly what you want.

In this episode, I’m sharing two real-life stories of resistance from just this past week: one about booking a simple flight to see my mom, and another about restarting this podcast. In both cases, the task should have been easy. But resistance showed up in sneaky, subtle ways—procrastination, avoidance, guilt, shame—and almost kept me from taking action.

The truth? Resistance isn’t proof you’re lazy. It’s proof you’re about to grow. And when you know how to repair it instead of letting it run the show, everything changes.

You’ll walk away with my exact 10-minute Resistance Repair framework that you can use right now to stop self-sabotaging and start moving forward—fast.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why resistance always shows up before your next breakthrough
• How self-sabotage disguises itself as procrastination, perfectionism, and "reasonable" excuses
• A step-by-step framework to repair resistance in 10 minutes or less
• The one thought shift that can break the spiral of avoidance
• How to take back your momentum before the year ends

Key Quotes:

• “Resistance isn’t proof you’re lazy. It’s proof you’re about to grow.”
• “You don’t need more motivation—you just need to fix the thought that’s keeping you stuck.”
• “You can’t take action when your brain is stuck in shame. You have to lead it somewhere new.”
• “The goal isn’t to eliminate resistance. It’s to recognize it faster and move through it smarter.”

I put together a quick survey (it'll take about 3 minutes, I promise) to get a better sense of what's working and what's not working right now in the online business and digital marketing space.

And then I'm going to compile the results and share them back with everyone who participates—because I think we all need to know we're not in this alone, and I think there's real value in understanding what's happening across the industry.

Take the survey here.

And one more thing… I wanted to create a way to open up a conversation about all of this, so I decided to put together a FREE Facebook group—The Ruth Soukup Business Circle—and I'd love to have you join me there.

Let’s be honest—online business isn’t what it used to be.

Sales are down. Funnels are flat. Launches are stalling. What used to feel easy now feels hard—and if you’ve been feeling it too, you’re not crazy.

In this raw and real episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the massive shifts happening behind the scenes in my business and why I’m rebuilding from the ground up. I’ll share what’s no longer working (even though I really didn’t want to admit it), what’s changing, and the 3 massive shifts we’re making to do business differently—because this isn’t just about strategy. It’s about leadership. It’s about courage. And it’s about stepping into what’s next… even when it’s terrifying.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, stale, or unsure what’s working anymore, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why the “old playbook” of online business is broken
• The truth about content in the age of AI
• What’s actually working in a trust-recession economy
• The 3 key shifts we’re making right now
• Why it’s okay to change—even if you don’t have all the answers yet

It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.

It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.

Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too.

And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what’s the point? 

The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.

Right?

And I get it. But I don’t buy it. Because what I’ve learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.

Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.

Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.

Even in the midst of a busy season.

And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now. 

This year, we’re not limping to the finish line. 

So let’s dive in.
