Griefhab

Griefhab Psychologist, Coach, & Founder of Griefhab I’m Samantha Ruth, and I’m a Psychologist, Speaker, Podcast Host of The Be Ruthless Show, and Best Selling Author.

I help people around the world turn their pain into their power by guiding them to be their true selves not who they think they need to be, by embracing their differences, and by living life on their own terms. My mission is to change the way the world views both grief and mental health, so people can openly speak about whatever issues they have and get the help they not only need but deserve without fear of judgment, labels, and repercussions. I am the proud founder of Griefhab, a 24/7 community open to anyone who has experienced a loss. After personally living through this, I realized just how much support I needed on a daily basis. I vowed to create these services so that others would have more support available in their times of need. In my free time, you can find me and my pups, Sassy and Dallas, on one of our outdoor adventures. We love living in Colorado and never miss an opportunity to explore our beautiful surroundings. Music fuels my soul, family means everything to me, and honoring my late husband, Jim, and making him proud gives my life daily purpose. Contact me to learn how to work with me individually or to learn how to have me as a keynote speaker at your event or organization at sam@samantharuth.com

Mental Illness is NOT:
Something you just deal with…
It’s not your imagination.

Mental illness isn’t a weakness. I believe it’s your superpower!

It’s this world that has everything backwards. Don’t let all of the noise confuse you.

Mental illness doesn’t define you. Hair color and your astrology sign and your career do not define you!

Who you are day in and day out, your character, your morals and values - these are the things that define who you are. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️

What makes you different
Makes you beautiful 😍

The number of calls I get from college students increases every single tragedy we live through in this world.

It doesn’t matter if they’re on the same campus or if they were “at” the scene. Anxiety surfaces. Past traumas resurface.

At a time when young adults are already living through enough daily challenges learning to be independent adults. Please encourage your loved ones to get whatever support they need. These are scary times.

You don’t have to understand their anxiety for it to be real. Reach out to your campus support, 988, or Griefhab for any and all mental health needs.

“Sam, the doctors didn’t talk to us about…..”

This week, I’ve had so many important conversations with clients about what they didn’t do wrong and ways that the systems have failed - both men and women, mom’s and dad’s
and soon to be mom’s and dad’s.

Because no one told them what to look for and pay attention to after pregnancy, IVF, a stroke, surgery…..

The list goes on and on.

You don’t have to be suicidal or homicidal to be depressed - and it’s extremely common to have mood issues after a major medical situation.

But the doctors don’t usually bring in a psychologist or tell you what to expect and look for….. and it can be as simple as changes in your sleep patterns.

I work with police departments to help them differentiate between aggression and mental illness so mistakes don’t happen. We need to recognize the benefit of collaborative relationships like this, because people are suffering from the conversations NOT taking place!

If you don’t get the answers or attention you need and deserve - please reach out! Professionals make mistakes and you’re entitled to the best quality of care -

Always ❤️

Find. Your. People!!

We’re so grateful we’ve found ours. There are plenty of critics. Plenty of people judging every little thing!

And find your people.
