Ruth says, "I think one of the biggest roadblocks people have, regardless of what field they're in, is they will stay in uncomfortaable, painful situations for incredibly long periods of time because they're more afraid of change than they are of the pain that they're currently living in." She helps people see by acknowledging their pain and finding small steps and simple tools for making the situation better.
