In this weeks entertaining yet inspiring episode of 'What Was I Made For?' Shaun & Rachael Reynolds catch up with the inspiring Ruby Joanne. At just 18, Ruby shares her transformation from a tiny ballerina at age two to a dedicated dancer who trains six days a week. The plot thickens when a sudden foot injury pivots her path from ballet to the thrilling world of women's football. Listen in as Ruby recounts dragging her friends to matches, forging a new identity beyond the dance studio, and her serendipitous rise as a football content creator & journalist. Laugh along at her amusing claim to fame of serving Rachael at a local Superdrug and gasp at the bold pitch that landed her an exciting freelance gig.
