32. Kiara Ruth
Manage episode 353062039 series 3216582
I've heard a lot about Kiara Ruth over the last few years. Mostly from my wife, whom is one of her biggest fans. But also from her husband Terrance, an alum (is that the right word? Alum? Alumni? Alumnus? Who knows???) of the Connect Raleigh podcast. A few weeks ago my wife Brook, Terrance, Kiara and myself got together for a dinner at my home and once the conversation got rolling I immediately knew that we needed to have her as a guest on the Pod. So here we are.
She is a self proclaimed master at multi-tasking and simplifying which sounds like I need to know more about that because I'm a master of multi-tasking and over complicating. I could use some simplifying. She gracefully juggles her life as a mother and wife with her presence as a social media influencer and NC tastemaker. Kiara drifts from mom to mogul effortlessly because she remains authentic and true to her brand in every step. This authenticity means telling her story truthfully, acknowledging faults, and being transparent while growing and learning. Kiara is a mom to Miles who is 7 years old and the wife to Terrance Ruth who is a professor at NC State University and who recently ran for the Mayor of Raleigh, only just barely coming up short. Terrance and I had a great chat a few episodes back. Be sure to check it out after this one. Kiara and her family recently rescued a dog, Oakley who is 4 years old and they have lived in the Raleigh area for 10 years and care deeply for the people here. Check her out at:

Please give this episode a listen and be sure to check out some of Kiara's favorite people and places around Raleigh which was EXTREMELY painful for her to narrow down as she wanted to support EVERYBODY!!:
