Listen to Episode 20, as Ruby Fremon Uncovers:
[02:44] Her Journey
- Our entire world and all its constructs are designed to program us to fit in certain parameters, so it’s difficult for many of us to feel free to be who we really are.
- Ruby had multiple defining moments in her life when she realized she wasn’t free.
- For a while, Ruby just treated the symptoms, but eventually, she realized that she had to face her shadows.
- Her last defining moment was when she fainted in a club and had a concussion and nerve damage.
- At that point, Ruby decided to make the opposite choices as before.
- She shifted her life, went deeply into personal development and that changed everything.
- Over time, Ruby could really step into her own personal power and be fully in her sovereignty.
[12:08] The Power of Shadow Work
Confronting or acknowledging your shadows is actually being with it, sitting with the problem, and facing it.
- When Ruby feels that a shadow is coming to the surface, she is trying to breathe deeply and asks herself why she feels this way.
- This shifts her from a state of fear to curiosity.
- Ruby’s most dominant shadow has always been the not-enoughness.
- It’s an ongoing healing journey for her but it helped her cultivate a more compassionate, loving relationship with herself.
[21:38] Complacency
After 2020, many people are craving to get back to the state of complacency.
- However, complacency is the opposite of conscious growth.
- 2021 will show us that we have to shift our minds and stop clinging to complacency.
[24:42] Co-creating with Plant Medicine
- Ruby has been devoted to the path of plant medicine since December 2018.
- She spent 2 weeks in the jungles of Peru healing with ayahuasca.
- Plant medicine taught her how to trust and surrender to be with her trauma and pain.
[29:49] Her Spiritual Hygiene
- According to Ruby, if you’re not devoted to your own healing and working on it every day, you will bring that into the containers that you cultivate.
- For her, working out and being in nature is the best meditation.
- As a coach, she is doing a lot of breathwork to cleanse her space. She schedules all her clients on one day, so she can be in the service space versus the creation space for them.
[37:06] Relationships
- Ruby met her husband on Twitter.
- It was the second marriage for both of them, so they could really ask the tough questions and be more themselves.
- They are both equally committed to their own inner work and that made their relationship a lot better.
[45:01] Integrity and Stepping into Our Power
- For Ruby, being brave means doing or facing the things that she least wants to do or face.
- Integrity is going to be the word that will come up often in 2021. Currently, we see a lack of integrity in our world, that is why our systems are crumbling.
- She encourages everyone to embody integrity this year, to help our collective healing.
- Your potency is yours to own and reclaim. All it takes is the willingness and bravery to uncover it.
Power Quotes from the Show
Lead in Your Potency
“In order to show up and lead, especially now, you must lead in your fullest expression, you must lead as the person that you are, you must lead in your potency because that is the medicine that you need. It’s also the medicine that the world needs. We don’t need more cookie-cutter diluted versions of other things. We need each of us in our own medicine.” – Ruby Fremon
We Are Both Light and Dark
“Through the state of curiosity, we can begin to learn more about why the shadow exists. And that is very important because the work isn’t about healing our shadows, the work isn’t about getting rid of our shadows, we are both light and dark. Right? The shadows and the light coexist in us. That’s the duality within us. And that’s what we get to celebrate. Our responsibility is to get to know the shadows, understand the shadows, and really comprehend why the shadows exist, and why they’re still present.” – Ruby Fremon
Be Devoted To Yourself
“The first person you need to be devoted to in your life is yourself. And I mean, undeniably devoted to your own healing, whatever that looks like for you. And also understanding that healing is a lifelong journey.” – Ruby Fremon
No More Complacency
“If you are consciously growing, you’re not complacent. That’s the opposite. And I think we’re shifting from an era where it was really easy for us to become complacent to now this era that’s calling us to throw complacency out the window and take back our power.” – Ruby Fremon
