Hi, I'm Ruth Daly.

After retiring from teaching high school Business and Economics, I never imagined that co-facilitating a Boundaries course for women would completely change my life. (Yes — it really did.)

For so long, I let the roles I played — teacher, wife, mom, friend — define who I was. I said yes when my heart said no, swallowed my true feelings to keep the peace, and quietly carried the weight of unspoken needs. The Boundaries work gave me the freedom to finally discover what was okay (and not okay) for me, and to start expressing it.

But the big question lingered: How do I communicate these boundaries kindly — without hurting people or shutting down? That search led me to the powerful teachings of Marshall Rosenberg, the psychologist whose insights on empathy, honesty, and human needs have transformed countless lives. His simple framework showed me how to speak from the heart and listen with compassion so that everyone’s needs can be honored and met.

I now share these life-giving tools as Communication for Connection — because that’s the beautiful result: deeper, more honest relationships with ourselves first, then our partners, families, friends, and beyond.

Since embracing this way of communicating, I’ve experienced (and seen in those I work with) less walking on eggshells, fewer repeated arguments, more genuine closeness, and a real sense of peace.

If you’re tired of the same cycles of tension, silence, or feeling like you’re disappearing to keep everyone else happy… I’d love to walk alongside you.

Whether through 1:1 coaching, interactive workshops, speaking engagements, or my free 5-Day Honest Peace experience, I’m here to help you speak your truth with kindness and hear others with an open heart — so connection becomes the natural, joyful outcome.

I spend the rest of my time being a mom, a wife, a grandma, a Christian, bicycling, waterskiing, and curling.
