The T with Ruth

In this Cup we get serious and deep - quickly. We are (again) seeing some of our rights being taken away from us right in front of our eyes!! From censorship to redistricting voting areas to ICE raids to talking about different countries and more! We are being told what to say and what not to say - in the United States of America, so where does that leave us? Let's talk about it in this Cup of...

Just catching up on times - since it's been 3 years! What's new in my life personally, in the US, and in the world - let's take a sip now because later, we'll be drinking all the tea about these topics and more!

Welcome back to The T with Ruth! We are jumping into Season 3 with a whole world of change. Well, COVID is still around, but lots of other things have changed. The US economy is a mess, there's an ongoing war in the Ukraine against Russia, it's an election year, mass shootings are still happening, and if we only focus on the negative this would be a depressing podcast! So, we are also going to tal...

Relationships come in many different forms - individual/personal, family, friendships, religious, work, and there are others. We are going to touch on each of these relationship and why it is important to create healthy boundaries that help you to maintain your mental...

The past election in 2020 brought to light a lot of stark differences in our country - differences that still linger. In American history, I don't recall people still rallying behind the loosing opponent and still displaying the loser's banners and flags. But here we are in 2021 and there are still rallies and people talking about a lost election. What else have you noticed that is different in ou...

We will discuss all of this and so much more on this Cup of Health...

Have you ever wondered if protests and demonstrations actually work? I think they do make a difference, and in today's conversation we are going to talk about some of the changes that happened since the Summer of 2020. Police reform, people of color attaining high ranking positions, honest conversations about race relations, and much more took place. But did real change occur? You be the judge as...

Grab a cup of tea as we head back in time during this episode - back to the summer of 2020 when the streets were crowded with protesters and the world woke up and took note of the racial injustices around the globe. There were international communities that came together to support one cause, one man - George Floyd. The world watched (because COVID left many of us to sit at home fixated on a TV sc...
