Ruth Clare

Hello lovely humans.

I'm Ruth.

Not sure if you know me as a motivational speaker, presenter or if you have found me through my writing, videos or media appearances, or if someone (hopefully someone you like :) told you about me. Whatever way you found me, I am really happy you are here.


This site, like me, is a work in progress. You can click this link if you aren't sure where to start on this site.


Much love,

The Life Lab
Coming Soon in 2023

Life is an experiment you are participating in whether you are aware of it or not. If you want to change the way things are going, you need to take control of your side of the life equation.

The Life Lab is a hub of mental health and self development tools to help unstick you from places you are stuck so you can start taking the action you need to create the life you want.

My memoir, ENEMY

How do we stop the trauma of our past from derailing our future?

Vulnerable, funny and wise, ENEMY is a true story of courage, childhood trauma and the cost of war.

For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
