To become a guide, I had to re-draw my own map.
Hi, I’m Ruth. I found out that the more I share my story, the more people find solace and passion to become who they want to be. Maybe someday, you’ll share your story with me.
I can’t possibly just start over – at my age?
I am content - now; I am happy - now. But had you asked me that 10 years ago, I would have answered differently. After two decades of marketing, communications and engagement work for non-profits and corporate entities, I discovered that I wasn’t as happy as I thought. The constant churn and burn and putting out fires was leaving me wanting more. I needed to slow down and re-evaluate. It was then I decided to go on a journey of self-discovery. I needed to remember who I was and decide who I wanted to be moving forward.
After a lot of introspection, I realized that it was ok to switch careers, to basically start over. The realizations didn’t stop there. I wanted to help people in a way that I was good at; in a way that gives back as much to me as it does to those I support, so I founded Adult Prep.
I wanted to offer a hand to anyone feeling stuck.
The concept of Adult Prep came about after I noticed that many people were unequipped to handle the transitions that life throws at us. Dealing with life’s ups and downs, letting go of what you can’t control and learning about ourselves are all important factors in our personal growth, and therefore our ability to roll with the punches. In my previous work, I had the opportunity to guide people in areas such as public speaking, presence, confidence, self-care and life skills and I wanted to do that full-time.
I am open to all of the possibilities that life may bring my way, I work hard towards a future that is bright for myself and those I support, and I look forward to you being one of those people.
I can show you what's possible.
Through one-on-one coaching and consulting, I am committed to enriching the lives of my clients. My goal is to help you find and support your goals, whatever they may be. I work hard to help young adults, teens, and women realize their full potential - to imagine, to plan, and to create for themselves the life that they dream of.
By preparing my clients to be aware of and overcome the obstacles laid in their path, I empower them, and you, to set yourself up for success and help ensure that your future is a happier one.
With a guide like me, your power becomes your compass.
Today, Adult Prep has expanded to provide support to people of all ages and walks of life. I genuinely believe you have the power to create your ideal reality.
