The Truth from Ruth

Episode 1: In episode 6: Welcome to the final episode of the season!!! Here we talk about self acceptance and what that can look like. It's not always an easy journey but it's one that I find nicer to be a part of other than the alternative. The Truth from Ruth is hosted by me, Ruth Ross. I bring you this podcast to share the struggles I've had with bulimia (other eating disorders), depression and low self esteem that started in my early teens. It manifested to the point where I didn't believe I could achieve anything. Many years on it's been a long journey but I've learned so much and my mindset and self belief has came on leaps and bounds. My aim now is to have open conversations about this and hopefully be able to inspire and help others believe they can achieve and have the life they desire.. Although this is a serious topic there will be of course some laughter along the way. New episodes will be available every Friday.
