#077 - Ruthie Lindsey - What If You Were Never Broken

Ruthie Lindsey’s story isn’t about overcoming pain. It’s about unlearning the belief that she was broken to begin with. From a wire piercing her brainstem to reimagining her relationship with her body, faith, and identity — Ruthie shares how real healing began only when she let go of the parts of her life that once felt like survival, but were keeping her from truly living. This is a raw look at chronic pain, disassociation, the dark side of storytelling, and the freedom that comes from remembering who you really are.
