Finding Purpose in the Empty Nest:

Ruthie's journey began with the realization that her big family dreams were transitioning into an empty nest. This prompted her to rediscover her love for writing and mentoring young moms, laying the foundation for her future endeavors.

A Shift to Profitable Ventures:

Guided by her husband's advice, Ruthie recognized the importance of valuing her time. This led her to the world of Instagram marketing, where she not only managed accounts for others but eventually transitioned into coaching. Her authenticity and passion for helping others shine through in her work.

The Empty Nest Awakening:

Prompted by divine inspiration, she crowdsourced ideas from her followers as she dove into writing her book. The theme of authenticity in business shines bright as she recounts her journey. Though her book contains her own story it is also a guide for readers to reflect on their journey of empty-nesting, complete with thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter.

Impactful Feedback:

What surprised Ruthie the most was the positive feedback from readers, particularly their appreciation for the self-reflective questions. It reaffirmed the importance of authenticity in connecting with others.

Encouragement for Empty-Nesters:

Ruthie's advice for those navigating the empty nest phase is to return to their roots, rediscover passions, and embrace new learning experiences. It's a time for personal growth, exploration, and joy in the second half of life.

Contributing to Church Preparation:

Empty-nesters, according to Ruthie, can play a vital role in preparing the church for the harvest. By sharing their stories and messages on social media and online platforms, they contribute to the broader narrative of faith and growth. We all have a story to tell and in today’s world, we have ample opportunities to share it with others.
