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

The Worst Day
The S Word. Suicide. If mental health has a stigma, suicide is in a world of its own.
There’s less support - when there should be more. We heal together. We heal through having the conversations.
Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show cared about helping others long before she really understood how much it would truly come to mean to her.
Jen Allen is the CEO of Front Range Family Resource Center, a counseling clinic, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Prior to this, she was a registered nurse and spent most of her nursing career in inner city emergency departments. Shortly after obtaining her Master's degree in pursuit of a Nurse Practitioner career, she lost her son to a very unexpected suicide. This tragic experience led Jen in a whole new direction in life and in her career.
Mental health and becoming a support to families who have lost loved ones to suicide became her focus and her mission.
Jen is also the wife of Jeremy, an Air Force Veteran and psychotherapist. They have been married for almost 28 years and raised two of the most amazing children, Kaitlyn and Daniel. They also have a bonus daughter, Cassie and two beautiful bonus grand babies, Colt and Sawyer. Jen spends her free time on the sunny beaches of Florida with her husband and with her four dogs, Roxy, Frasier, Gromit, and Morty.
Connect with Jen on instagram at @ninjanursejen and read her chapter in Faces of Grief, available this December!

Follow The Detour
How is it already June? Did you know that June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month? National PTSD Month? Men’s Health Month?
It’s also Beautiful in Your Skin Month, which celebrates the unique beauty of each person's skin. It's a time to embrace individuality, foster self-love, and boost confidence.
On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss insecurities. I discuss what to do when you don’t feel beautiful in your skin. Because it’s another lesson we need to be taught in schools - but we’re not!

HardBeauty
Addiction. Recovery. Words many are ashamed of and won’t even discuss. Even those with years, even decades, of sobriety. Not today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show. Racquet Garcia shares her story of addiction and recovery with pride. It’s her “badge of honor.”
Racquel Garcia is a passionate advocate for change, working tirelessly to destigmatize and educate on the challenges of overcoming substance misuse and systemic and familial obstacles. She is deeply committed to advocating for underserved populations, particularly on the issues of racial equity, the power of peer coaching, and criminal justice reform.
Racquel is the owner & Chief Innovation Officer of HardBeauty and serves as the Executive Director of the HardBeauty Foundation. Her foundation is the first and only peer-led organization in Douglas County, Colorado, offering hybrid coaching and programming that serves the entire state.
Racquel's educational background includes an Associates Degree in Addiction Counseling from ICDC College. She is also a National Certified Peer Recovery Specialist with NAADAC and possesses qualifications as an ARISE Interventionist, Subject Matter Expert and Training Facilitator for Opioid Response Network, working at the national level on behalf of SAMSHA. March of 2023, Racquel began a 2-year term on the Colorado Opioid Abatement Council. Her appointment by the Attorney General highlights her expertise in the field. She serves as a member of the Behavioral Health Administration Advisory Council (BHACC). In this capacity, she collaborates to create a people-first behavioral health system in Colorado.
Racquel's involvement extends nationally as the Vice-Chair of the National Naloxone Project, where she is a leader in MOMs+. Her contributions have made her a powerful influencer, particularly with the "Tough As A Mother Stronger Than Addiction" campaign, which acknowledges her impactful work with mothers in Colorado and across the nation.
Racquel will be speaking at Visible in August and she’s also part of the 2nd annual Healing Together Through the Holidays this December - because addiction, recovery, loss, and grief are all connected - and all need to be discussed more!

Emotional Bruises
I really am a clutz - it’s genetic. But lately, my bruises aren’t from me. I have people literally coming to knock me down.
I’m coming back even harder.
Because it’s NOT. ABOUT. ME.
On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss Betrayal. I discuss not knowing who you can trust after ONE betrayal in life.
What happens if you e had more than one?
As always - I discuss the importance of listening to our bodies. Learning how to tune out the noise so we learn what our intuition is - because it’s not taught in schools!
I discuss what I’m going through so it doesn’t happen to you. Because there is NO OTHER PROGRAM like Griefhab.

Together We Can
“Accused of being kind!”
Legendary Hall of Famer, Terry Bradshaw, believes Quarterback, Dak Prescott, is not winning Superbowl’s because (wait for this one!) he’s “too kind 😳”
Pardon my French, but I. Shit. You. Not.
Advocating for Mental Illness. Too Kind.
Connecting with fans who have experienced loss. Too Kind. Sharing his message that Together We Can - Too Kind.
On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss tuning out this exact kind of negative noise. The world always has something to say.
Together we can do more. Together we can heal. Together we can get through the difficult times, celebrate the beautiful times.
Together we can!
