8. Ruth Edwards on Somatic Healing And Starting Over in Your Forties
This week I’m joined by Ruth Edwards, a trauma-informed somatic coach, brainspotting practitioner and certified hypnotherapist, who made the bold decision in her forties to leave behind her corporate career and start again.
As a single mum of two teenagers, Ruth wanted more freedom and flexibility to be present with her children, while building a heart-led business that helps others heal from the inside out. She now supports clients to overcome anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing and emotional trauma by blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation and deep emotional work.
Ruth’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to pursue a career that aligns with your purpose and values - and that betting on yourself is always worth it.

About The Guest:Ruth is a trauma-informed somatic coach, brainspotting practitioner and certified hypnotherapist who helps women and men reconnect with who they truly are by healing what’s been holding them back.

About The Host:I'm Victoria Phipps - a Mum of two, family photographer, charity co-founder, marketing person and now podcaster! 🎙️
I was raised by a nurturing Mother and an entrepreneurial Father and have inherited traits from both, so the tension between ambition and motherhood is one I grapple with on a daily basis!
I’m fascinated to hear the stories of other women on a similar path, who are striving to build thriving businesses whilst being present for their children. It's a tough juggle, but I hope the conversations shared on this podcast help Mums in business feel less alone and inspired to keep going in pursuit of their dreams.
