Healthy Lifestyle

🌱 Sometimes moving forward means going back to your roots.

Yesterday started with a Health Coaching business training, and I walked away thinking about everything I still need to learn.

Then I went to my daughter’s house and started telling her about it.

She reminded me that I already have everything I need.

This October marks 10 years since I became a Certified Holistic Health Coach.

When I went through Health Coach Institute in 2016, I was still working full-time at FedEx—often 10-12 hour days. I learned SO much, but lately I’ve felt a strong pull to go back through that education with fresh eyes.

Not because I’m starting over.

Because I’m building on what I already know.

And yesterday afternoon felt like the perfect reminder of WHY I became a health coach in the first place.

We harvested Tiffany’s first homegrown loofah—and shook out all those seeds to save for next year. How cool is that?! 🌱

Then she made the most delicious creamy potato soup using potatoes, onions, garlic and chives from her garden, along with carrots, cashew cream, chicken broth and simple seasonings. 🥔🧄🌿

Garden to table. Real food. Family. Learning. Growing. Passing knowledge on to the next generation.

THIS is wellness to me.

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it looks like growing a potato.
Sometimes it’s making soup from scratch.
Sometimes it’s planting a seed.
And sometimes it’s realizing that the seeds you planted 10 years ago are still growing. 🌱

I’m excited to revisit my health coaching education and bring what I’ve learned over the last decade into this next chapter of Health Coach Ruthie and RESET, AND RISE.

I’m not starting over.

I’m returning to my roots—and I’m ready to RISE.

🥔 And YES—the potato soup was every bit as good as it looks! I’m sharing Tiffany’s Garden-to-Table Creamy Potato Soup recipe inside my Reset & Rise Wellness Community. If you’d like the recipe, comment SOUP 🥣 below and I’ll show you where to find it!

Sitting outside tonight, taking it all in, I realized maybe it’s time I reminded you what I actually do. ❤️

I share a lot of things on this page—coffee, natural wellness products, BrainTap, cleanses, essential oils, skincare—and sometimes I wonder if all those pieces make it hard to see the bigger picture.

I’m a health coach.

My heart isn’t to sell everybody a product. My heart is to help people.

I want to sit across from the woman who knows she needs to make some changes but doesn’t know where to begin. I want to listen to what she’s struggling with, help her identify her next step, and walk beside her while she takes it.

Sometimes I may have a product that fits what she’s looking for, and if I do, I’ll tell her about it. Sometimes the answer may be coaching, BrainTap, better daily habits, accountability—or simply having somebody in her corner.

The person comes first. The product doesn’t.

That’s what Health Coach Ruthie is about. ❤️

As September comes to a close, I’m thinking about what I want to carry into this new month—and it’s simple:

I want to help more people.

Help them steward their health. Help them take that first step. Help them realize they don’t have to change everything overnight. Small changes made consistently can change a life.

So if you’ve been quietly following along thinking, “I know I need to do something, but I don’t even know where to start…”

You don’t have to know. That’s what the conversation is for. ❤️

🎸🔥 Something FUN is kicking off this morning!

We’re officially entering ROCKTOBER, and I’m joining my friend and mentor Tina Rose Heuermann LIVE today at 10 AM Central for a special Coffee Talk:

☕️ Setting the Stage for Black Friday

One line really caught my attention:
“Black Friday doesn’t create momentum—it multiplies the momentum you build before it.”

Whether you’re building a business, growing a community, or simply curious about what we have coming this fall, come hang out with us! 🎸🔥

We start at 10 AM Central!
I’ll put the link in the comments. 👇

🌿 Did you know your gut and immune system are closely connected?

This short video explains that connection in such a simple way—and why supporting gut health matters.

It’s also one of the reasons VeraCell caught my attention. 💚

Take a few minutes to watch, then tell me: What stood out to you?

👇 Watch here 👇

Comment “GUT” if you want to know why VeraCell caught my attention.

Your YES has meaning. So does your NO. 💛

Today’s Feel Good • Be Good • Do Good reflection stopped me in my tracks:

“Harmoni is not being available for everything. It is knowing what deserves your availability.”

Whew. That’ll preach. 🙌

Today I said YES to serving a precious woman from our church who will soon turn 97. I said YES to celebrating my grandson Blake. And I said YES to investing in myself and learning from some incredible leaders at a business summit.

One lesson I heard today was simple: talk to more people. Some will. Some won’t. Keep moving. Keep serving. Keep asking. And never quit.

But here’s where today’s lesson on balance comes in:

We aren’t called to say yes to everything. We need to say yes to the things that align with where God is leading us—and sometimes that requires a peaceful no to something else.

Today’s affirmation:
“My yes has meaning. I make room for what matters by choosing with care.”

That’s Reset & Rise to me. 🌿
Mindset. Intention. Faith. Action.

What deserves your YES in this season?

Some things need our effort. Some things need our surrender. Wisdom is knowing the difference. 🌿

That was the message I needed this morning.

September’s theme of Balance & Harmony reminded me that growth doesn’t always come from pushing harder. Sometimes we need to take the next brave step…and sometimes we need to stop forcing what only God and time can bring to fruition.

My morning started with prayer, BrainTap’s Ask, Believe and Receive visualization, and my Self-Aware essential oil blend diffusing beside me. And then this truth from Scripture tied it all together:

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

That’s the kind of self-awareness I want—not simply being aware of myself, but becoming quiet enough to recognize His voice and where He is leading me.

Today I’m asking myself:

✨ Where does God want me to put more effort?
✨ What am I trying too hard to control?
✨ Where is it time to trust, release and allow?

My affirmation today:

I rise strong in my body, clear in my mind, peaceful in my spirit and confident in my purpose. God goes before me, and I am ready for the opportunities He places in my path.

That feels like Reset & Rise to me. ❤️

Some things need your hands.
Some things need time.
And some things need to be placed back into God’s hands. 🙏

What’s one area of your life today that needs more effort—or a little more ease?

🌿 Day 2 of my 21-Day Petrochemical Cleanse!

One of my new daily rituals is Holy Basil tea—and I have to say, I really like it! ☕️💚

Last night I recorded a little behind-the-scenes look at how I prepare it. Over these 21 days, I’m taking you along as I become more intentional about what I put in, on and around my body.

I’m not looking for perfection. I’m learning, making changes and paying attention to how I feel along the way.

Who else loves a good cup of herbal tea? 🌿

And yes… I’m taking you along with me. 😊

I prepared one part of my cleanse ahead of time, and now I’m ready to see what I actually notice over these next 21 days.

I’m not interested in hype — I want to pay attention to my own experience and share the journey as I go.

Here’s what I’m really curious about…

Have you ever even heard of a petrochemical cleanse? 😳

🧠✨ WHAT IF IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN?

Not too late to support your brain.
Not too late to rebuild healthier habits.
Not too late to stop simply surviving and start thriving. ❤️

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Coach Tracy El for a Conscious Conversation inside The Alignment Project—and this conversation gets to the HEART of why I do what I do.

We talked about brain health, cellular wellness, stress, BrainTap, my own journey, and why I’m so passionate about helping women—especially women 50+—realize that their age does NOT determine their potential for change.

My message is simple:

✨ It is never too late to RESET. RISE. And RECLAIM yourself.

If you’ve been taking care of everyone else for years and somewhere along the way stopped taking care of YOU, I especially hope you’ll watch this conversation.

🎥 Watch below and tell me in the comments: What does “reclaiming yourself” mean to you in this season of life?
