The Be Ruthless Show

People hear the word trauma and think of something major: war, death, rape. But people are traumatized  and tolerating it  every single day. It doesn’t  have to be  something major. Trauma looks many different ways! On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, we’re discussing workplace trauma, minimized trauma, unresolved trauma. James Keddington is the owner of Better Me Nation. Better Me Nation...

Middle school to high school. High school to college. Moving. New jobs. Everyone talks about the positive changes when, in reality, these are also examples of overwhelming times.

I haven’t been full of energy - not gonna lie. All of my clients are struggling. In 9 days it will be 6 years since Jim passed away. Not exactly my favorite time of year. Old me probably would be judging me. Would be upset with myself for feeling this way. This me just accepts that I feel this way. I’ve learned to always listen to my body. Period! On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I disc...

I have clients coming to me regularly feeling hurt. Confused. Under appreciated. Relationships are roller coasters full of complicated emotions that were not always prepared for - or willing to - experience. Most people focus on what the other person is doing or not doing. Saying or not saying. But what about our personal role in relationships - including our relationship with ourself?!!? On today...

So much has happened in the 48 hours since Healing Together Through the Holidays ended. But that doesn’t change the fact that people are still struggling everywhere, many silently. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss why Healing Together Through the Holidays took place. This world avoids discussing grief. It’s more than that. This world avoids  the people  who are grieving! It’s ...

Have You Heard? Did you know that it's National Grief Awareness Week? Did you know that Griefhab created a 13 month Awareness Calendar so you don't miss any awareness days and weeks? Did you know that I have a new book project, and you can be a part of it??? On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss all that's happening during Griefhab's 1st Annual Healing Together...

The speakers are all important to me - but I’m still blown away by these talks. It’s National Grief Awareness Week. Until now, NO ONE knew it existed. Yet people everywhere are struggling. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss some of the lessons I’m learning in the first three days of Healing Together Through the Holidays. 1 DAY EVENT TICKET PLUS 2024 GRIEFHAB AWARENESS CALENDAR: ...

It’s already Thanksgiving Week. I don’t know how that happened -The holidays are here. This used to be my favorite…. It still is. I’m still learning. We lost my aunt today. So many people I know are experiencing losses. I, for one, don’t pretend I’m ok when I’m not. But so many others do….Why can’t we not be ok?

FRIENDS is absolutely my favorite TV show. Check my website But that’s not at all important. Because Chandler Bing is a character. And Matthew Perry has done SO much more than act. To quote him, in his book Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Things: “When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as...

Detroit Lions Wide Receiver Marvin Jones Jr. didn’t travel to Baltimore with the team on Sunday, and he announced yesterday that he’s taking a leave of absence for a personal matter. Thank you for putting your well being first. It’s difficult enough to do this as a human, let alone as a public figure. An athlete. And the world judges. Probes. What personal matter? On today’s episode of The Be Ruth...

Loss, by itself, is traumatic. People don’t talk about the fact that there’s more loss after loss. There’s the feelings of loss that follow the funeral. You’re literally surrounded by everyone in one moment, and then left (by yourself, if you live alone!) the next. There’s the actual people you lose along the way - friends, colleagues, relatives. Some are also grieving and in pain themselves. We’r...

Ryan James is someone very special to me. I’ve known him for more than 20 years. I’ve watched him grow up and grow into someone who absolutely marches to the beat of his own drum. Proudly. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, Ryan shares how he got here, including his 17 year struggle with addiction. We discuss his upcoming 3 part series called FFor the Record, which Ryan began filming whil...

Sometimes, putting all of your thoughts into words can be overwhelming. Using some sort of coding system can simplify the communication process. Just like a stop sign tells us to stop, a symbol or code can tell us something about our mood or feelings. Police have been using codes to symbolize crimes for how long now? I recently learned that Colorado stores use colors as codes, too. On today’s epis...

Tatjana Obradović, Master of Psychology, or Energy-Astro-Shrink for short, is the creator of The Key of Love.  After over 15 years of working in the field as a behavioral psychologist, Tatjana felt that the cognitive-behavioral approach, both when working with people diagnos...

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a simple to-do list about how to get through the difficult stuff? I’d be out of work, first of all, but secondly - we’re all unique, so it’s impossible to have a plan that works for everyone. It’s still human nature to look at others and what’s worked for them. But we live in this fast paced world of instant gratification! People want to get it done. Quickly. On to...

Athletes are acknowledged for their performances on the field. We might recognize their good deeds, but for the most part - it’s about winning! Injuries are detrimental. They put athletes on the sideline. But those injuries are physical, right? Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show knows all about the physical injuries, but believes the emotional impact is even greater. Hazel Gale is a former kick...

It’s a new month. And it’s a New Season of The Be Ruthless Show! It’s also Mental Illness Awareness Week - And you know me. I think every day, week, and month should be about Mental Illness Awareness. And Grief Awareness. And ANY Awareness. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss how much work with this world still has to do when it comes to mental healthcare. I discuss how much work...

It’s not easy being a Psychologist. My client earlier today said It’s not easy being a parent. Setting limits. Boundaries. Everyone hates that word. It’s got a negative connotation. Kind of like Ruthless. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss my thoughts about perceived negatives - and more!

I’m really unpleasantly blown away with the stories I’ve been hearing lately. From my clients and their experiences. From new people entering the Griefhab community after negative experiences somewhere else - or no experience at all because they just couldn’t find anywhere to go. From old clients returning because they can’t find new services. Or they’re not happy with what they’ve found. And on a...
