Ruthie Lindsey on Falling in Love and Embracing Your Shadow

Ruthie Lindsey is back on the podcast this week for a fantastic conversation about all things love. Ruthie shared her incredibly powerful life story with Raw Beauty Talks in 2020 - If you haven’t listened to that episode, be sure to start there: https://rawbeauty.co/the-journey-from-hopeless-to-healing-with-ruthie-lindsey/ Ruthie is the author of the memoir ‘There I Am, The Journey From Hopelessness To Healing’, a speaker and a midwife of souls. She helps people feel endeared to their own life, body and soul.  She shares a remarkable story of surviving an accident as a teenager where she had a five percent chance to live and a one percent chance to walk, and the surgery that simultaneously saved and destroyed her body. But her message is one of strength and resilience. To see the invitation of pain and to remember all that is so right with us, not what’s wrong with us. She has spoken alongside renowned activists and writers such as Brené Brown, Glennon Doyle and Luvvie Ajayi. Join us today as we talk about the beauty of falling in love with an intentional and open heart, and the importance that shadow work can play in your own journey of healing and self love.  SHORT ON TIME?  3:50 - How Ruthie’s deep self work prepared her to fall in love for the first time  17:54 - Using shadow work to navigate emotional activation in a relationship  28:23 - Avoid becoming your own ‘Double Arrow’ - practicing radical self love for your shadow parts in the face of shame  41:20 - Ruthie’s advice for how to address shame when it bubbles up in your mind  Visit http://www.ruthielindsey.com/ to learn more about Ruthie’s offerings  Learn more about coaching opportunities with Erin - https://rawbeauty.co/coaching/ SPONSOR LINKS & CODES OSEA Hydrating Duo - Ocean Cleanser & Hyaluronic Sea Serum (Erin's favourite!) $26 off plus an additional 10% at THIS LINK with code : BEAUTYTALKS10 OSEA 10% off sitewide using code RAWBEAUTYTALKS Honeylove 20% off at honeylove.com/RAWBEAUTYTALKS Lume Deodorant Get $5 off the starter pack at www.lumedeodorant.com/RAWBEAUTYTALKS with code RAWBEAUTYTALKS
