The Get Ruthed episodes were absolutely my favorite! I loved hearing how to improve from real-life examples. This is the best podcast I have come across when it comes to blogging information! Looking forward to using this knowledge to do my blog right this time around!

I love the saying Do it scared so when I ran across this podcast I jumped on episode one to check it out. It was like Ruth was talking right to me!! I felt like we were old friends over coffee as she pushed me to do what I knew deep down I wanted to do! I absolutely love her take on things and can’t wait to binge more episodes!!

Wow. What a fantastic podcast! I stumbled across Ruth because of a search for Charles Duhigg. Ep117 , I am now going back to the beginning and listening to her cast on a regular basis. Ruth does a great interview, asks a lot of the same questions I would have and she actually ‘ listens’ to her guests. Highly recommend her cast!!!!

Thank you so much for the words! When the podcast ended I found myself disappointed that is was over, I ate up every word! Thank you thank you thank you!

The dreaded negative loop that hounds us all is FINALLY addressed, defined and muted, once you implement the three simple steps listed in this Podcast. Ruth’s voice has the tone that imparts the feeling that you’re listening to a close friend who just gets you. You can HEAR the smile in her voice. I can’t make any promises, but positivity might radiate out of your device while this Podcast plays...consider yourself forewarned. That said, her advice — especially the accountability stuff that so many people “take issue with” ... aka cannot handle — is easier to absorb, because your subconscious mind has already decided that THIS voice is the voice of a good person who genuinely wants to help you. Too deep? Okay. Let’s put it another way: This chick sounds like she’s walked this path and knows what she’s talking about, and she wants nothing more than to help you. How’s that? Better? Right on. Getting back to that negative loop that we all have, I’ve found that recognizing it, as soon as I possibly can, and “replacing the tape” at the very nanosecond that I recognize the negativity, helped me stop certain versions of “the voice” altogether. Bottom line: YOUR FEAR IS 100% DEPENDENT UPON YOU FOR ITS SURVIVAL. Read that last sentence again, and keep listening to Ruth.

Hi Ruth, I am so thankful for your amazing Do It Scared Podcast! You opened my mind and heart to your knowledge, wisdom, and guests! (: You so inspired me to find my courage...my voice...and follow my true passions of writing/learning blogging/finding ways to help others and spread kindness and join EBA 4.0 (: Thank you so so much!!(: I am so thankful that we can still listen to all your episodes! So looking forward to signing up for Activste on Monday! (: Sincerely, Nicole Williams @thankfulsinglemomma EBA 4.0 Student (: 

Love! Love! Love! Exactly what I needed !!!!

I have to say, it is SO off-putting when people don’t take the tim e to learn how to properly pronounce their guests’ names. I can’t even listen to any more episodes Bc I’m so annoyed. I found this Bc I wanted to hear the episode of Jen Sincero, I’m a fan and have read all her books. It’s pronounced “sin-chero”. If you download any of her books on audio or have heard ANY of her stuff, she pronounces her name “sinchero”. Please have the respect to know how to say their names.

Ruth does a fabulous job of sharing from her life experiences and coupling it with helpful action. I always feel encouraged to press on after I listen or read her books!!

I clicked on the podcast and thought, ok be ready for some just get over it talk. But I stead I was met with validation and actual advice to move forward. So many times I have heard, “your past traumas are in the past, force yourself to live forward.” Well.. I never did and didn’t think I could. Ruth is amazing! Thank you so much for your advice on how to move forward and what steps to take but most importantly to ask, “are you truly ready? Because if you aren’t, you won’t.” And that was GOLD to me!! Thank you so much!

I had started listening to this podcast awhile ago and stopped because life got in the way. I’ve realized that’s exactly what the problem is so I’ve decided to come back near down and start over to achieve my goals and dreams. I thank you much for your insight and guidance.

I love this idea of stretching ourselves. Pushing further in order to make real dreams/happiness for ourselves. It really helps to have this coming from a fellow mother too! If Ruth can do it, so can I. She is inspiring and gives practical steps to guide you to finding out your own better tomorrow. Thanks Ruth💪

I’ve been listening for over a year and love this podcast. This podcast has sparked my own desire to make my own and that was just launched this week, Earth Day 2020. I have you to thank Ruth!!

I have really enjoyed the upbeat podcasts and even signed up for the Doing it Scared program! A perfect tool to help me survive the covid-19 stay-at-home quarantine! And be ready to go back to working in the “office”. Thank you!

Love this podcast! I read Ruth’s book, “Do it Scared” and loved it. Listening to the podcast is a warm and welcoming experience, especially listening in when guests are on- like you are part of the club;) Really needed this podcast and I’m sharing it with friends too. Thanks Ruth!

I’m currently on Episode 3, and I hate that I didn’t know about this podcast when it first began! I’m loving it and will continue to listen. I’m sure there’s something in each podcast I can utilize.

Ruth is in an awesome speaker and educator. Just joined EBA 4.0 and will go back and listen to all her podcast. Great motivational speaker

I love the interviews because they are informative, entertaining, and funny. I was pleasantly surprised that I would enjoy this podcast so much that I subscribed and wrote a review. Keep up the great work!!!!

Don’t know where I’ve been and why I’m just learning about this gem but so glad that I ran across it. Do It Scared is amazing and I’m just floored at the wisdom shared by Ruth. She touches on so many aspects of my life that I’ve struggled with personally, emotionally, and professionally. I’m forever a subbie!

As an EBA’er I LOVE the Get Ruthed episodes more than anything else. Such good information and relatable. To take them up a notch I would love to here more of the *how* the little details - I’ve heard leadpages but what else? Do you recommend outsourcing? To who? Where do I find them? Give some solid recommendations and your audience (and those business) will thank you. Now with the addition of quick wins, the podcast is getting even better. I think a great quick win would be a tool or resource, get specific in the how to’s please! The one little gripe I have is that I feel like I know what to do but I don’t know where to find it. Thank you Ruth and team for an excellent podcast!

I love, love, love your “Get Ruthed” episodes! They teach me so much about what works and what’s background noise.

This podcast series is literally life changing. LIFE CHANGING! It has really inspired me to go after what I want and really make consistent advances toward living the life I’ve been dreaming about! Because of this I’ve branded out and started 3 business, working on the 4th and though it’s not off the ground yet, I’ve transcended from idea to actually DOING the groundwork! I’ve signed up for the Elite Blog Academy and I’m Really hoping I get in!

Ruth’s Do it Scared podcast and book, and her Living Well and Spending Less website are full of helpful information that is easily digested!

I recently heard the episode with John O’Leary and was touched by his story. What an inspirational man! What a great host and interviewer! She’s a wonderful listener and asks great questions. Keep up the great work

The Do it Scared podcast has the best topics, but my favorite episodes are always the Get Ruthed ones. I regularly say a little prayer for the blogger who is about to get some feedback from Ruth. She always manages to strike the balance between giving honest feedback delivered with some warmth and encouragement. I learn so much from the mistakes of other bloggers. I love this podcast!

This podcast has been so inspiring to help me not only with building my writing career, but in my personal life as well. Ruth is so fun and sweet. I feel like she’s so down to earth and real. However, lately the “Get Ruthed” segments are taking over the podcasts and boring quite frankly. I used to look forward to the podcasts on Monday but I haven’t listened in quite a while. Please consider less of these segments and get back to interviews with successful people.

Thank you for being so positive! Makes me rethink a lot of stuff in my life in such a positive way. I can’t wait for more episodes.

Thank you Ruth. I first heard about you through the Cathy heller podcast and man am I glad! I have lived my life in fear of so many things and in a months time have followed my heart, quit my full time safe job and am writing my first book. I am so grateful for your podcast and the fear assessment on your site. Check it out people you won’t regret it!

I love this podcast, especially the “Get Ruthed” episodes! I always walk away having picked up some nuggets of wisdom that can help me in my journey! Thanks Ruth for sharing freely of your knowledge and experience.

I am almost done with my Ruth Binge. I felt compelled to start from the beginning instead of here amd there. I has taken about 2-1/2 weeks and life changing. Helpful without being judgey ~ authentic and HONEST! #76 made me cry I related so much. Thank you and Bless u! 😘

So encouraging and inspirational! Thank you for this awesome podcast.

I’ve just started with these podcasts, but they totally speak to me. Hearing that being scared or stuck in fear is normal and learning how to overcome this is so helpful. I can’t wait to hear more!

Listening to your podcast is a highlight of my big city commute each week. Thank you for consistently bringing truth, inspiration, and encouragement to the world. 100% Awesomeness.

I found the book “Do It Scared” and really liked it, so I thought I’d listen to the podcast too. There is a lot of good information in the podcasts. I knew Ruth writes for women, so I expected the more feminine podcasts. Sadly, I found myself over powered by the abundant feminine “energy”, and the rare but occasional criticisms of men. I’m not listening anymore, but that’s OK, because she’s not marketing to me. Ladies, this is a great podcast. Men, you can find better and more neutral podcasts.

In every podcast, I’m finding something pertinent to my life issues at the current moment! Very helpful!

I’ve been listening to your podcast from Day 1 and I find all your episodes inspiring and thought provoking! But this, by far, is one of the few episodes I really like and enjoy. I haven’t posted a comment before but I felt inspired to do so because I felt I could relate! I work in a social work field and I also do a couple of ministries in church and, to be honest, when I feel burnt out I lose the why and purpose behind why I help the less fortunate. Brian’s intentionality and passion to make people the center of everything he does is inspiring. It’s something I will strive to do when I come into work and when I do ministry – to ask, “What’s going on with you today?” Not only to the people I serve but to my coworkers and fellow ministry volunteers as well! Thanks again for another inspiring and thought provoking episode!

This was an amazing episode. I’m not a blogger and I don’t want to write a children’s book, and I didn’t even understand half the lingo, but hearing how Brooke got in her own way was an eye opener and real “aha” moment for me! I have similar tendencies of procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome, and this was like holding a mirror up to my life!! Thanks to Brooke for being willing to be vulnerable, and thanks to Ruth for keeping it fun and serious at the same time! Great coaching and great content!! (BTW, I’ve never written a podcast review, but I couldn’t let this one get away!)

The Get Ruthed episodes with people like me are so insightful because I recognize that I do some of those same things, but what I really wanted in this episode was to sit this Brooke down and say I have walked this publishing route and if you are going to teach it, you have to do it. Do it scared, but do it now. There is no greater joy than getting a copy of your book and flipping through the pages and smelling the fresh ink and feeling proud of your effort. Do not edit again, go to fiver and find an illustrator and get the book done. Then use your blog as a tool to walk others through your process of getting it self-published and the marketing efforts and I bet you will see great increases. Ruth says it all, I just re-emphasis you've got it, now do it.

These podcasts offer so much insightful advice, humor, practical tips, and down-to-earth information. I have been binge listening every morning on my commute to work. Love, love, love!! I have found many things to apply to my life. Thank you, Ruth! (And, your laugh is contagious!). Such a great compliment to Ruth's blogs online.

The content is good—or at least the content could be. The host speaks about herself TOO much and interrupts the guest. Please..do yourself and us a favor and keep quiet, focus on the guest, and improve this podcast that has potential. You’re not there yet.

Love your book podcast and mission! I’ve discovered you at the perfect time I’ve been taking your advice making no excuses and I’m doing it scared. Twice this week I’ve hesitated and made an excuse why I couldn’t do certain things for my creative work and your voice came in my head make no excuses! Both times I shifted my mindset and have gotten wonderful results. It’s still a challenge but thank you thank you thank you!

Love it! No matter your field this can apply to anyone.

Episode 76, Get Ruthed was so life changing. It motivated me to get to work on my blog. Thank you Barb for your honesty and vulnerability. You touched so many lives. You did it scared!

Ruth Soukup is an inspirational entrepreneur who’s guests help her educate her listeners on how to overcome fear and doubt that inevitably comes up. Do It Scared offers a wide range of diverse thought leaders to inspire entrepreneurs and professionals at any level.

Love Ruth’s positivity!

This podcast is AMAZING, a true mindset game changer! I was listening to Empower Her with Kacia Fitzgerald where you were a guest recently on her podcast. I was so intrigued by your sweet voice, topics and the ‘do it scared’ drive. I had to immediately go snoop on your website. Goodness! It is so jam packed with great goodies! I had to start listening to your podcast episodes. I have been binge listening to work, while at work, from work, while cooking and cleaning at home then a bit more before I go to bed. Your content is so tangible, full of creative ways to get the mindset motivated. I adore that you put it out there that no one is “too old” because honestly, I’m in my 40’s. I was feeling that whole “I’m too old’ vibe. I keep telling myself I wished I had thought of entrepreneurship along time ago but, I didn’t have that type of mindset back then…this is NOW and who cares if I’m in my 40’s, right? I’m an introverted shy person by nature. I have issues with just getting out of my own comfort zone. Luckily, I’m a Taurus so I got that stubbornness of wanting to prove a point that’ll push me out of that comfort zone. I will do it even though I am scared 😳 Thank you Ruth for being YOU and putting all this content out here for us scaredy-cat peeps!

I wanted to like this podcast but could not get past the constant use of the words “Like” “ Amazing” “Um” and “Literally” ! It’s too much. Irritated me too much to search for actual content. Noreen. Albany. NY

I recently started listening to the “Do It Scared” podcast through the Podcast app on my iPhone. I stumbled across it because I listen to “The Ziglar Show” podcast, and Ruth was a guest speaker on the show. However, I haven’t listened to that particular show yet, but saw the episode had automatically download. I hadn’t even heard of her, but ironically around the same time I had an email regarding “Do It Scared” in my Inbox. Not really sure how I ended up on the email list, but it motivated me to check out the podcast instead of just deleting the email. It is funny how God has led me to the podcast. How everything happens the way it should to lead you to where you need to be. I am only on Episode 16 (been listening in order), but have been really encouraged especially from Episodes 13 & 15 so far. I really enjoyed hearing about finding your tribe and planning your time. Within the last month especially, I have been considering starting a blog regarding my story and experiences. But I have been unsure how to start or even if I should. My sister has been encouraging me, but I haven’t done much to get started (except write what could be my first blog post). I have been seriously thinking about looking at the Elite Blog Academy. Additionally, within the last week, I may have figured out what my Big Audacious Scary Goal for the future me is. Thank you Ruth! I love the show and already recommended it to my sister-in-law.

Practical, motivational, relentlessly peppy and good quality volume so I can listen in the car and house even with other noise (technical but important!) I love she speaks on the small daily interactions and changing those besides for professional/bigger aspects. Ruth helps you digs deep into your minds negativity and never lets you loose sight of setting the first small step and setting the big goal.

I stumbled across your podcast and want to let you know that I truly enjoy your topics and it’s helped me so much in life! Thx
