      • 24. How To Stop Over-Giving and Heal from Unhealthy Helping

        Over-giving and Unhealthy helping are themes that often come up in Ruthie's client work.

This episode will support you in starting to question your patterns around unhealthy helping and over-giving. This is an episode for all my fellow recovering people pleasers.

            • 19. Are You a Recovering Extrovert ? Introvert vs Extrovert Personality

              Can your personality change over time? Can you go from being an extrovert to an introvert? And who gives you permission to do so? In this episode, Ruthie shares her thoughts from her personal growth journey as a Recovering Extrovert. This episode explores how we can be conditioned and socialised into a way of being that keeps us stuck there because we want to secure love and belonging.

              As we grow it's ok to explore other ways of showing up that feels more aligned with our growth and evolution. Ruthie uses her journey as an example, in exploring her introversion in late adulthood despite being naturally outgoing and having lived her life mostly as an extrovert. This episode will encourage you to explore who you are and how you want to show up in your life now beyond a way of being and conditioning that you may have outgrown.
