Here for a good time, not a long time too?

Ready to shake things up in the work department?

Perfect. We’re going to be actual besties then. 

Grab yourself a cuppa, a wine, a negroni, a kombucha or whatever the cool kids drink these days and let’s get acquainted (I rarely drink alcohol so I’ll take a long black, thanks).

First, I want to go full unicorn for a moment. I want you to imagine a life where you’re a freakin’ radiant, slightly badass woman who…

×   Takes up space. When I say space, we know you’re in the room because we feel your beautiful energy. 

---

×   You’re visible in your way. You share your ideas with ease. You have a kind of confidence that feels effortless. Your secret? Practice. You put one foot in front of the other and keeps your eyes firmly on those Pinterest boards. 

---

×    You’re the woman who is devoted to being the mother/daughter/boss/friend/sister/partner/fur parent/mother of dragons. You know devotion is only possible if you’re thriving too.  

---

×    You’re the woman who embraces change. Like a new haircut, a fresh manicure, that sexy dress (that cost a week’s pay), you embrace the opportunity to reinvent yourself and your career. 

---

×    You’re the woman who nurtures her creativity, and infuses her work with passion through contributing. 

---

×    You’re the woman who loves the “dollar dollar bills ya’ll” for the possibilities they bring to life (and yes I love my 90’s hip hop). Money comes in, it goes out and round and round, and helps you live your brand of abundance.

Got a  few things in common you think?

I’ll take a wild guess that your next question is: 

“I’m in, but Ruby, why did you make such a radical change in your work?” 

You’re right, I had a dream resume. Working with wealthy, notable Australians. 

A portfolio filled with designer furniture, bronze finishes and marble interiors. 

But around 29, I started to have good ol’  “wake up” moment. 

Not a dramatic tears-on-the-bathroom-floor-Eat-Pray-Love-kinda-moment.

It was ever so subtle. 

I had this feeling I wanted to peel away from everything I’d created. It was like my curious child-like self was aimlessly walking around the office, trapped in a black power suit. 

Faced with a predicament, I spent many fruitless months searching. Using my noggin instead of my heart, to answer the problem. 

Worrying about what people would think. Worrying that I would be nothing without my Architect title. 

The day I finally listened to the inner child, was the day I said no to…

…years of chronic illness

…No to feeling disconnected from my beautiful body

…No to over-exercising and two hours commuting a day 

…No to morning anxiety and dreaming about work

…No low sex drive

…No to pushing

…No to having to control

…and no to giving so much that I didn’t know how to receive even my own love

I realised all I could do was get curious and take one action after another to see where it led. 

I made one significant promise to myself: 

“if I’m going to be doing any form of work 40+ hours a week, I want to wake up and feel excited, love the good and boring parts of my work because I know it’s taking me somewhere bigger than me”

Over two years, I transitioned out of a career as a full-time, corporate Architect and moved into leading and developing teams with a yoga brand you might know well… 

lululemon.  

Fresh territory that had me feel lit up again.

I guided several teams to realise their gifts and go after their goals. It was the “sweet spot” I’d been craving for so long. I got the lululemon MBA that gifted me the business know-how to launch my own legit side-hustle. 

I was back in the arena again and it felt like H.O.M.E. 

Since launching my business, I’ve completed over 200+ hours coaching (and counting) with women individually and in workshop settings. I’ve created digital workbooks, blogs and video content and now the True to You podcast  

I’ve been creative support for several businesses birthed by my husband John in the last 8 years. Including a specialty running shoe store, strength and conditioning gym, unplugged retreats and now the Access Potential Academy for small business-owners and individuals. 

Today, I continue to guide women through my 1:1 program: The Unstoppable Woman, reach ears globally through the True to You podcast, speak on stages (look out big stages I’m coming for you!), run workshops and think-tanks like The Careers Salon – expert conversations designed to find creative solutions to supporting women through career transitions. 

+ I’ll blush if you tell me I smile like Julia Roberts, long lost sisters perhaps?

+ I was once so obsessed with Organic skincare that I started a beauty blog with my real life bestie Katherine

+ I feel like I was meant to be a Sagittarius. Brooke Solis would describe the Sagi woman as “the woman of truth, the wanderer of the world. The woman who quenches for the unknown of every sky she’s never seen. She is the sage woman” (her poetry will ravish you) 

+ I love crystals but wouldn’t know the first thing about them

+ My ideal day starts with a long breakfast with my husband and a long hot bath to end it
