Hi, I'm Ruth
The most important thing about me? I’m alive and free because Jesus gave His life for me—and that changes everything.
​
I love Jesus because He is faithful, kind, and endlessly redeeming. He gave me a new start, and now I help others find the same peace, joy, and hope.
​
What I Do
I’m a speaker, writer, and podcast host helping people break free from sexual shame and grow in everyday faith with practical tips and tools. Real talk. Real hope. Real change.
​
Family
I’ve been a single mom for 27+ years, and I’m the proud mother of three amazing adult kids. I’m also a néné to a precious angel in heaven.

My Story
Addiction is hard—especially when you fight it in secret. I’ve walked through divorce, single parenting, and seasons of alcohol and sexual addiction. By God’s redeeming grace and the prayers of my family, I found healing and freedom. In recovery, I clung to Scripture and prayer, and step by step, the Lord led me home. If your path looks different, that’s okay—we’re heading toward the same hope.
