Ruth Kennedy

Ruth Kennedy is a retiree from Ottawa who embarked on a transformative 'gap year' after leaving her job. Initially conceived as a way to address questions about her post-work plans, this year allowed her to explore her interests, prioritize her health, and engage in new experiences like traveling and attending workshops. Throughout her journey, Ruth documented her reflections and growth, ultimately leading to a renewed sense of purpose and joy in life. She advocates for embracing change and mindfulness as one navigates new beginnings.
