Summary
In this episode of Twenty Something , Liv is joined by Ruston Jones and Kait Stone for a conversation about creativity, resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you give yourself permission to keep evolving. After a motorcycle accident shifted the way Ruston moved through life, he found his way into hot yoga and Pilates, eventually becoming the kind of instructor who makes people feel seen, welcomed, and brave enough to try. But his story doesn’t stop there. Ruston is also a filmmaker, author, and fashion designer who has built a life around curiosity, courage, and trying new things even when he isn’t sure how they’ll turn out. Together, they talk about starting over, meditation, learning how to be bad at something new, releasing the fear of being “cringe,” putting yourself in the way of luck, and how Ruston began sewing, upcycling thrifted and vintage fabrics, and eventually putting his work into fashion shows. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, afraid to try something new, or unsure if they’re allowed to become a different version of themselves.
