Hello !
My name is Ruth Manou.
I’m a certified Life and Leadership Coach, on a mission to reignite the spark of purpose, alignment, and (self-) connection in every person I meet.
I believe this is how we make our world a better place.
When each of us takes full responsibility for becoming our most authentic and fulfilled self. It's the key to contributing our best to our families, workplaces, and communities in an effortless, natural and joyful way.
It's one of biggest joy and pride to walk that talk alongside my clients.
When I'm not coaching, podcasting or writing, I usually :
-
Give amazing concerts (to my self around the house, mostly)
-
Create stunning artistic performances (with my children ;-) ),
-
Study psychology
-
Work out at the gym
-
Cook and bake yummy dishes
-
Or explore the beauties of Stockholm with my family.
My story.
If you feel like you’ve been checking all the boxes but can’t seem to enjoy the life you’ve built… you’re not alone.
For years, I did everything “right.” A banking executive, married, mother of two.
On paper, my life perfectly followed "the plan".
But in reality, I felt increasingly unhappy.
After the birth of my second child, something cracked.
-
Family life became mostly about logistics.
-
Work regularly spilled into my evenings.
-
And the growing emptiness I felt inside was impossible to ignore.
At first, I thought a change of life would be enough.
My family and I left the Paris area for Dublin, and I went back to university to study psychology.
But changing the outside didn’t settle what was happening inside.
The same doubts, the same patterns, the same inner tension kept coming back.
The real shift began when I stopped looking for answers externally and chose to face myself honestly.
Writing, meditation, deeper inner work… Not to “consume” personal development, but to actually feel better.
It helped me reconnect with my values, my boundaries, my aspirations…
and also with long-held expectations and unresolved wounds I had been carrying for years.
That’s when I started living life on my own terms. By finally listening to myself and building a life aligned with my values.
Today, this is exactly what I help the people I work with do:
-
step out of autopilot and chronic stress,
-
regain clarity,
-
and build a life that genuinely feels like their own.
You can be one of them and start your journey today
