What if your biggest struggle could become your greatest source of impact?

In this powerful conversation, Ruth sits down with Brandice Lardner, founder of Grace Filled Plate, to talk about her journey from decades of disordered eating to a thriving faith-based coaching business—and now, a brand new book.

Brandice opens up about the modeling moment that shattered her body image, the years she spent stuck in binge eating and food obsession, and the slow, grace-filled process of rebuilding her health from the inside out. Together, they explore the mental and spiritual shifts that lead to true transformation—not just in food, but in business and life.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why "just eat healthy" never works when your mindset is stuck
• The connection between negative body image and spiritual disconnection
• How faith, gratitude, and renewing your mind can transform your health
• The parallels between food freedom and building a business
• How to trade all-or-nothing thinking for sustainable change
• What it really takes to write a book that deeply connects
• How Brandice is shifting her business strategy in the new trust economy

Key Quotes:

• “Nothing is wasted. Your history is going to be used to form you into the person God has called you to be.”
• “You can’t undo what you already did by continuing to eat.”
• “When we just try to change the outside without changing the inside, we revert back.”
• “Self-kindness is the starting point for every real transformation.”

January motivation is loud—but it’s also fleeting. In this episode, Ruth breaks down why most people burn out by February and what actually creates lasting change instead. This isn’t about more discipline or willpower. It’s about building the right habits—habits that support your life instead of draining it.

Ruth shares the foundational habits she’s used to lose 49 pounds, build multiple successful businesses, and stay consistent through changing seasons—without crashing and burning every January.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why habits that rely on willpower are destined to fail
• The difference between project-based goals and habit-based goals
• The one habit Ruth says she’d keep forever—and why it changes everything
• How weekly planning protects your time, energy, and priorities
• Why urgent tasks always crowd out important ones (unless you intervene)
• How habit stacking makes consistency easier—not harder
• Which habits should be non-negotiable vs. flexible by season
• How to build habits that support your life instead of adding pressure

Key Quotes:

• "Habits aren’t meant to require willpower—they’re meant to replace it"
• "You don’t need to change everything at once to change your life"
• "Weekly planning is where intention replaces reaction"
• "Consistency comes from structure, not motivation"
• "The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress you can sustain"
