Storme Diaries - Ruby Cooke - Ep.25

Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 For episode 25, I’m joined by Ruby Cooke for a conversation about motherhood, ADHD, birth trauma, business, spirituality and the power of maintaining a positive mindset, even when life doesn’t go to plan. Ruby tries to see the positive in every situation and wants to create a happy, positive environment for her children. We chat about how her mindset shapes the way she approaches life, motherhood and the challenges that come with it. Ruby opens up about her experience with ADHD, from recognising the signs when she was younger to receiving a formal diagnosis as an adult. We discuss how it affects her day-to-day life and why she has chosen not to take medication, instead finding her own ways to understand herself. We also talk about her journey into motherhood, including her experience with polycystic ovaries, becoming a first-time mum and the birth trauma she experienced. Ruby shares her story of an emergency C-section, an epidural that didn’t work as expected and the complications she faced afterwards, including fluid leaking around her spine. It’s an honest reminder that birth doesn’t always go to plan and that the experience can stay with you long after your baby arrives. Motherhood also inspired Ruby’s business journey. After winning Faces of Essex, she went on to build her own aesthetics business. We discuss turning opportunities into something of your own, balancing business with family life and finding the confidence to follow your ambitions while raising children. And we couldn’t have this conversation without exploring Ruby’s spiritual side! From affirmations and manifestation to crystals, moon water and her connection with the moon and stars, we talk about the things that help her feel grounded and positive. We also touch on children modelling, how much the world has changed and the challenges of raising children in today's generation. ✨ In this episode, we discuss: • ADHD and receiving a diagnosis as an adult • Motherhood and creating a positive environment for your children • PCOS and her journey into motherhood • Birth trauma, emergency C-section and recovery • Building a business after winning Faces of Essex • Balancing motherhood, business and personal ambitions • Manifestation, affirmations and positive thinking • Crystals, spirituality and moon water • Children modelling and raising children in today's world • Finding your own path and trusting yourself This is an honest conversation about the highs, the lows and all the things that shape us into the people we are today.
