The connection between your business and your body with Ruth Cummings

Permission to Kick Ass

Have you ever met a "body whisperer"? Prepare yourself, because Ruth Cummings' perspective is SUCH an eye opened. A leadership coach and body advocate, Ruth has spent the last three decades unraveling the mysteries of how our physical and mental states intertwine. It's a raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful conversation that'll leave you looking at your own body—and struggles—in a whole new light.
Can't-miss moments:

• Got a tight, painful spot in between your shoulder blades? Your body might be trying to process a betrayal (here's what to look out for, according to Ruth)...
  
• Rage against the mosh pit? I share the story I hid about myself so long... that I got into fights at metal shows. See how Ruth flips the script on me and shows me I was doing something healthy all along...
  
• Turns out humming different tones can be your secret weapon for emotional release (and that "om" isn't just hippie-dippy BS). Ruth breaks it down...
  
• From cocky to compassionate: Ruth shares her story (we can probably all relate to this one) about begging her way back into a class she once intentionally slept through...
  
• "Why are you learning to be a prostitute?" The inspiring way Ruth dealt with doubters and negative people as she was getting trained in massage therapy...
