Description

Doing It Messy is for women who are competent, ambitious… and still figuring it out. If you’re juggling too many things, navigating burnout, a career change, or just feel stuck in a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel like yours, this is for you. Each episode, Ruth, a lawyer, coach, and founder of VIP Mindset in Aotearoa New Zealand, shares honest reflections on work, identity, ambition, and what it looks like to keep going when things don’t go to plan. She brings a values and strength based lens to her reflections, and is doing it imperfectly beside you. Because something is better than nothing, and sometimes, we just have to do it messy.
