Get To Know Me

September 11, 2020 By Ruthie Ridley 27 Comments

 It’s been a while since I’ve done any sort of introduction so I thought it was time to share a little bit about me!!

I am 36 years old born on June 21st in Jamaica.

I was raised in Connecticut and I am currently living in Northern California.

I love Jesus and I decided at the age of 15 to give my life fully to him and surrender. Best decision I’ve ever made.

I am a worship leader and have been singing since I was 8 years old in front of people.

I have one sibling, my younger brother. I am older.

I became a nurse in 2003. I was 19 at the time, young and naïve. Super thankful that I knew early on what I wanted to do with my life.

I have been married to the love of my life for 12 years. We dated from June to December and were married the following July. It was love at first sight.

Ben, my husband, was born in England and is the second born of 5.

Ben is a police officer for a local Police Department. Extremely thankful for all of our Frontline workers.

We have three beautiful children, Ava (11), Savannah (almost 10) and Judah (8). They are 15 and 17 months apart.

Growing up I never had a dog and I swore that we would never have one in this household until Ben and the kids convinced me to get Charlie. Now I’m an animal lover and I want more dogs even though I just got another one! Welcome to the family Eli!

We bought our first home together last August.

I can barely swim.

My weakness is fries and gummy candy.

I got my tubes tied at 28 and I really regret it.

I am 5’1”.

I have been wearing wigs since I was 18 and I love them!

I started this blog in 2015 after failing at two other blogs prior. This was for fun and never in 1 million years did I think I would have any success at all. God proved me wrong over and over again. 

Pretty sure I am an Enneagram 7 with an 8 wing.

Now that you know a little bit about me, tell me something about you in the comments below!!

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.

If you haven’t listened yet, this is your sign.
