Description

Ruthie Lindsey is an author, speaker, and healer who is on a mission to help us access the truest, most liberated version of ourselves by becoming endeared to our lives, bodies, & souls ✨

Ruthie has answered the call to healing in a way that isn't common in our culture, which is so deeply nourishing, healing and a beautiful thing to witness. She has been a guiding light for me for years on my healing journey, and I am so honored to have her here for us!

In this conversation, we discuss the extreme events that led to Ruthie's healing journey, how she daily attunes to her Inner Child, the barriers to embodiment and how she comes back home to her body even as it holds chronic pain, how she works with her spirituality to stay really grounded in her human experience, and how she works with her Shadow to embrace all parts of herself. This episode is full of take-aways and tips, but more than that, you can *feel* the love and safety Ruthie has reclaimed within and with herself, and this conversation gives you an experience of being so held and loved, as well as a glimpse of what's possible for all of us called to this level of liberation.

Takeaways

• Coming back home to our bodies and learning to love and care for ourselves is essential for healing and self-discovery.
• Embodiment work, such as recognizing, allowing, investigating, and nurturing our emotions and sensations, can bring profound shifts and healing.
• Rewriting our limiting stories and reparenting ourselves with compassion and tenderness is crucial for personal growth and transformation.
• The intersection of spirituality and healing can provide a broader perspective and access to higher consciousness.
• Nervous system healing is a gateway to accessing higher consciousness and experiencing profound shifts in our lives. Parents need to understand that their survival physiology can be activated by their children's behavior, and that they are not bad parents.
• Finding safety in the body is key to overcoming the challenges of parenting.
• Shadow work involves recognizing and accepting all parts of ourselves, both light and shadow.
• Self-attunement and staying with ourselves are important practices for healing and growth.
• Healing and transformation can occur through nurturing relationships and healthy attachments.
