I’m joined by my dear friend, Ellan Ruskamp, on the podcast today! Ellan and I are talking about mindset, grief, and growth, because she has experienced every single one of these things in her life recently. We’re digging into the struggles of imposter syndrome while also keeping up with the Joneses as a business owner, showing up as your truest, authentic self (instead of how you think you ‘should’ present yourself), choosing intentionality and alignment instead of the never-ending hustle that society pushes on us, and much more.
Ellan Ruskamp is a farm wife & boy mama from rural Nebraska. When she’s not chasing kiddos or helping out on the farm, she enjoys getting in touch with her creative side through her business, Midwest Marigold. She designs apparel inspired by the heart & soul of rural life that leave women feeling full of confidence & beautiful in everyday life!

In this episode, we will cover:
- Learning to get support and ask for help where you specifically need it
- Understanding that you’ll never have it ‘all’ figured out in business, no matter what you see on social media + finding community along the way
- Ellan’s transition to showing up as her most authentic self, compared to how she originally thought she ‘should’ be
- The power that comes from being intentional and doing the ‘work’ on your mindset, especially as you navigate an incredibly hard and devastating loss
- Ellan’s best advice for supporting someone in your life who is experiencing a loss, hardship, etc.
- How Ellan’s business, Midwest Marigold, has evolved since being a part of the Ascend retreat and mastermind + her plans moving forward
