In today’s episode, I sit down with Ruthie Lindsey, Nashville-based speaker, coach, and author of the memoir There I Am: The Journey From Hopelessness To Healing.

Ruthie shares her remarkable story of surviving a near-fatal car accident as a teenager and the surgery that both saved and destroyed her body.

Chronic pain led Ruthie into years of unimaginable struggle—losing her marriage, her faith, her family, and even herself. She spent seven years confined to a bed, battling debilitating physical and emotional pain and addiction to high-dose narcotics. But in the depths of despair, Ruthie began a powerful journey of unlearning the story that she was broken.

Through shadow work, nervous system healing, embodiment practices, and radical self-love, Ruthie found liberation and rebuilt her life. Her message is one of resilience, compassion, and the truth that every single part of us belongs—especially the parts we’ve been taught to reject.

This conversation is full of wisdom, strength, and tools for anyone seeking healing or freedom. And as a special gift to listeners, Ruthie is offering a free class to help you start your own journey. Let’s dive in!
