The Big Mistakes I'm Most Grateful For

This isn’t your typical Thanksgiving gratitude episode. In one of her most honest and heartfelt episodes yet, Ruth Soukup reflects on the moments in her life and business that looked like colossal mistakes—but turned out to be the greatest teachers. From hitting rock bottom in her twenties, to quitting law school, to walking away from her successful blog brand, Ruth shares how failure, loss, and reinvention shaped who she is today.

You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on what it really means to be grateful—and a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest things are the ones that matter most.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your biggest failures might be your greatest gifts
• The power of letting go of identities that no longer fit
• What the Stockdale Paradox is—and why it matters for resilience
• How to reframe your "mistakes" as growth moments
• Why it's okay to quit, pivot, and evolve

But somewhere in the middle of all that doing, you forgot who you are, or what you want. You forgot what makes you come alive.

It’s time to come back home to yourself—to remember your dreams, your spark, and your strength.

​And that’s exactly what these five days are for.
