The Be Ruthless Show

The Be Ruthless Show is a place where we’ll be having the conversations other people don’t. The conversations other people won’t. In order to do that, I’m going BIG and BOLD. I’m anxious, I’m proud, and I’ll shout it for the world to hear. The shame game has got to stop, and it starts with US not being ashamed of OURSELVES! Look out, world. I’m ready to make a lot of NOISE and DISRUPT things…. Ruthlessly

  1. Conversations that Matter

    NOV 11

    Conversations that Matter

    I don't understand how l'm the only one making a fuss about the fact that no one knows there's a National Grief Awareness Week. People (and by people, I mean professional organizations) think it's my made up week. That's a serious problem. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss uncomfortable conversations. Grief. Mental illness. Coexisting with people who have different beliefs. My nieces and my teenage clients told me that their teachers didn’t discuss any of the chaos and hatred the world has been dealing with since the election. I’m not referring to political views. I’m referring to coexisting with people who have different beliefs. Uncomfortable Conversations. I also discuss the invisible awareness dates - like National Grief Awareness Week, as I thank all of those who gave our country service - and their families!

  4. Suicide: It's Complicated!

    OCT 30

    Suicide: It's Complicated!

    Stigma. Its everywhere. Grief - Mental Illness - Race - Some stigmas carry more weight than others, if that’s even possible. It doesn’t make sense in my brain…. but it is absolutely true in this world. Suicide. Addiction. People run from these conversations while others are living through these real life traumas. Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show doesn’t just fall into one category of these “double stigma…” categories. She’s the “winner winner” of both world’s: parenting a teenager with #addiction that ultimately resulted in his death by #suicide. Lisa Wilson is a wife and mother of two boys with eighteen years of experience in education. She has dedicated her life to fostering growth and resilience in others. Her journey as a survivor of suicide loss has profoundly influenced her mission to advocate for families facing barriers and trauma, offering them the support and empathy they need to heal. As part of her grief journey, she became a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, initially to help herself and then to help others. She is passionate about inspiring others to embrace positivity and self-care, believing that wellness and nutrition are foundational to a fulfilling life. Her goal is to educate, encourage, and empower individuals to lead healthier, happier lives through holistic wellness practices. When she isn't exercising or enjoying the outdoors with her husband, Shawn, and dog, Marlo, she's reading a new book or listening to music while writing in her journal. Finding balance in life and making space for the important work of healing is a huge part of who she is. This episode is for anyone who’s struggled with loss or knows the complexities of suicide, addiction, and mental illness.

  5. The Sounds of Silence

    OCT 29

    The Sounds of Silence

    I talk ALL the time about noise. Silence is equally as powerful. I regularly keep my phone in a different room, and some people hear that and look at me like I’m an alien. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss silence, how you respond when someone is silent, and how you want someone to respond when you’re looking for silence!

    PTSD & Me

    There’s stigma surrounding mental illness - and then there’s the stigma surrounding men’s mental illness. Because boys don’t cry.

He is an ex Rugby League player. He’s also a Ju-Jitsu black belt, qualified coach and runs his own club. By trade, Mark has his own business repairing HP Design jet printers.

    OCT 21

    Ch - Ch - Ch - Changes

    Ch - Ch - Ch - Changes Turn and face the strange Ch - Ch - Ch - Changes! Change is difficult for most people. And things are already pretty stressful in this world right now. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss some unexpected, but extremely necessary, changes I’m making…… Griefhab’s 2nd Annual Healing Together Through the Holidays is ch-ch-ch-changing locations - because of my health, and most importantly - Sassy’s! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and understanding! Some of you will love this adjustment, and others will say it’s unprofessional. This decision is for me - and all of you silently struggling. If I don’t do what’s best for me, I won’t be my best for you. If I ignore my intuition, I’ll suffer somehow. The entire event is FREE and STREAMING VIRTUALLY everywhere - none of that has changed! We’ll rock it out on our college campus in Metro Detroit next year. This year will be a LIVE VIP Experience in Colorado for an exclusive group! Meet the Major Keynote Speakers, Faces of Grief Authors, & More. It’s turning into something better. Something more beautiful. A change this close to the event is scary. Not making the change is scarier!!

    Loose Ends

    Do you have something you’re working on? A project that only you can finish the way you see it? If you’re like me, and many other creative people - you have many! What would happen if you disappeared? Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show deals with unfinished projects. She helps people complete them - which, in the world of loss, is such a beautiful gift! Jen Simonic has been knitting since she was six years old. Her grandmother taught her with steel needles from WWII used for bandage-making. She was the weirdo that knit under the desk in 6th grade. A teacher and financial tech professional, Jen lives with her family in Seattle, WA. They love her even though her stash is taking over the house. jen@looseendsproject.org looseendsproject.org And remember that you can reach out anytime - with questions, feedback, to work with me, for referrals and resources, and just for support and connection: sam@samantharuth.com Join the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7/ Join Team Ruthless for multiple support groups EVERY week, PLUS EVERY holiday: https://samantharuth.com/team-ruthless Pre Order Faces of Grief - a collection of stories about ALL kinds of loss:https://buy.stripe.com/9AQ9BL1d882G5Mc3d0 Apply to be an author in one of the next Faces of Grief books:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffR1tthu2O23kKPxWdrffd1dl9mWFIXfBo8fv_2KAqlnTP4A/viewform?usp=send_form Learn more about Healing Together Through the Holidays, this December 2nd - 8th (National Grief Awareness Week)https://samantharuth.com/healing-together-through-holidays Learn more about becoming a certified Coach!: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_PeMqSOd7FwOqpS2b6jO_zbqw1ksVNiMU0p69sFlvY9jIhQ/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0&usp=mail_form_link
