In this heartfelt Mother’s Day bonus episode, Mindy shares a powerful reflection on the quiet courage women carry—through mothering, healing, and choosing themselves over and over again. Whether you’re a mother, nurturing others in your life, or simply holding space for your own growth, this episode honors the strength that often goes unseen.

Join Mindy as she explores what it means to be courageous in the softest moments, and how mothering—of ourselves and others—is one of the boldest acts of love we can offer.

Perfect for anyone needing a reminder that your strength begins with courage, and your softness is powerful.

What does real strength look like? Today on Empowered in Motion, we’re redefining strength — body and mind. I’m sharing my own journey from feeling completely out of place in my first martial arts class to discovering that true strength isn’t about power or perfection — it’s about presence, persistence, and deep connection.

We’ll talk about why strength is more than muscle, how to honor your body’s needs without guilt, and why resilience sometimes looks like rest instead of hustle. I’m also giving you a personal invitation to rethink your relationship with strength — and a glimpse into what MRM (the Mindy Ruddock Method) is all about: mobility, recovery, mindfulness, and movement, blended to support you from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stronger than you think — or if you’re still learning how to believe it — this episode is for you.Music: Epidemic Sound

You’ll hear what’s coming, why it matters, and how this series will hold space for real stories, real shifts, and real women.
