Welcome back to The Blogist Podcast - Season 3, Episode 4! In today’s episode, we are speaking with one of our Blogist clients, Ruthie Ridley. One of the major reasons we wanted to bring her on as a guest to The Blogist Podcast, is that she was able to leave her career as a nurse and go full time as an influencer. Ruthie came from a long career as a full-time nurse. As a nurse, Ruthie spent nights and weekends building her business and her community of engaged women. So when we say, “You can do anything that you set your mind to,” Ruthie Ridley is the true definition of that statement. We have a saying on the Blogist team, “If Ruthie can do it, I can do it.” In today’s episode, we answer: Finding your purpose and why it’s so important. As Ruthie portrays on her Instagram and Blog, her purpose is to inspire and uplift her community, which she does perfectly. How to grow your business AND stay true to yourself. Because at the end of the day, if you show up as your authentic self, your audience will grow organically. How you can go full time as an influencer and quit your day job.
