Mental. Health. Matters.

I’m so passionate about making more NOISE about this—regularly, because I believe it’s the only way that we can begin to break the stigmas—by having the conversations!

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

    YOU Get A Vote!

    There are people in this world who mean well. There are people who even believe they’re your biggest cheerleaders. Your absolute biggest source of support. 

    Isn’t that your vote? 

    Who lifts you up? Who is there for you and meets you where YOU are? Who listens to you? Who checks in on you?

    Relationships aren’t easy! On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, on this first day of Mental Health Awareness Month, I discuss ways to be true to yourself - in any relationship. In all relationships. 

    I also discuss why these awareness dates are so important to me and how you can get involved!

    I Hate Triangles

    I Hate Triangles

    We’ve all heard the saying “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.” But has anyone ever heard this added: “And who you say it to?”

    Were you taught to communicate your feelings to the person you’re ‘feeling them’ about?

    On today’s episode of #TheBeRuthlessShow, I discuss the importance of communication - in general, but especially in relationships.

    So many people avoid emotions and communication for so many reasons, yet we don’t address the problems this can lead to.

    Fall Forward

    Fall Forward

    I fell on my morning walk with Sassy and Dallas yesterday. I’m a clutz - it’s absolutely genetic!



    I’m more embarrassed than injured - but the reason I’m telling you is because emotionally, I handled it like a rockstar.



    On today’s episode of #TheBeRuthlessShow, I discuss something I truly believe in and mention regularly: the universe (or spirit guides or angels) is always working for you. Protecting you.



    This seems like the last thing I’d be thinking about as I’m bleeding, dazed, and on my butt after my fall - but that’s exactly what’s on my mind.



    With no #anxiety - which is huge for this lifelong #anxiety sufferer. And proof that the consistent work really does allow you to design the life you choose!



    Even when you fall!

    Grief Sucks- But Your Life Doesn't Have To

    Grief Sucks- But Your Life Doesn't Have To

    I think every person I know who has dealt with loss says, “Grief Sucks!” Thinking back to the first year without Jim, the only thing I remember saying is “this sucks!” 



    It doesn’t adequately describe it - but are there really any words that can? Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show wrote a book with the same sentiments: 



    Grief Sucks: But Your Life Doesn’t Have To! 



    From the scenic countryside of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, author, speaker, and educator Brooke Carlock brings a refreshingly pragmatic and humorous approach to the often somber world of grief support. Her debut book, Grief Sucks: But Your Life Doesn't Have To, is far from a conventional self-help book. It is an unfiltered guide through grief, laced with the kind of candid realism only someone who's faced staggering personal loss can deliver. Beyond the written word, Brooke is a certified grief educator, the host of the"Mourning Coffee" podcast, and the face behind the YouTube channel "Grief Sucks with Brooke Carlock." 



    You can find her at brookecarlock.org and livelikelibby.org

    SAAM- Sexual Assault Awareness Month

    SAAM- Sexual Assault Awareness Month

    On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, it’s an especially taboo topic: sexual assault. April is sexual assault awareness month.

    Over 50% of women and 33% of men report at least one experience of being sexually assaulted .. and these are just the reported numbers.

    But what IS sexual assault? Most of my clients didn’t realize an assault had occurred at first. It wasn’t “violent” enough.

    I get into all of this - and so much more! including how to use this awareness month to make a difference.

She's just awesome to listen to

Samantha really knows how to engage her guests to make each episode enjoyable and flow so well.

She's a great interviewer! Samantha holds nothing back and wants her guests to share from their hearts and let the audinece know what they stand for.

She's a charismatic person and a real pleasure to listen to.

Empowering Mental Health Interviews

Thank you Samantha Ruth for The Be Ruthless Show: Making Noise and Breaking Stigmas. We talked about bipolar disorder and anxiety. Samantha is real, compassionate and easy to talk to. Great show!

Focusing on the health of mental health

Samantha does an amazing job of bringing the health part of mental health out of the dark and into the light. The more we can talk about these issues that can affect all of us at one time or another, the less we will feel alone. She is also an awesome podcast host.
