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

I’m FUMING.

My client last night told me about an appointment with their psychiatrist. They were extremely proud of themselves for speaking up about side effects and getting taken off of an antidepressant.

They were confused about the suggestion the dr made to replace the medication. “It’s not a medication exactly, Sam. It’s like a nose spray or something, but it’s a 2 hour procedure and he wouldn’t tell me the name.”

This, for my client with anxiety…..

I stay as up to date as possible on all things medication for these reasons. And I suspected the dr was suggesting ketamine treatment - which is being used for many people and many things - but they need to know what they’re doing and why ‼️

I just hung up with the dr and my concerns were correct. He planned to start the client on ketamine treatment without the client understanding ketamine treatment 😳😳😳

FUMINGGGGG!!

Trust your instincts!!

If you don’t feel comfortable asking your dr questions….
If your dr isn’t answering your questions….

Ask someone else! Drs are human. You know you best❣️

It’s not just your imagination. So many people struggle with “seasonal blues.”

When the seasons change - so do we!

Check out my latest blog and learn all about navigating the unexpected emotions.

There’s something about autumn that can stir up emotions. The crisp air, the golden light, the sound of the leaves crunching beneath our feet. It feels nostalgic, almost bittersweet. For many, fall is a favorite time of year. For others, it silently awakens feelings they can’t understand, let al...

“There’s no reason to be anxious, Sam…”

People with anxiety disorders loooove this kind of feedback. I got some medical reports back yesterday morning - and they made me anxious.

Anxiety doesn’t listen to rhyme or reason. It’s not about logic. It’s usually irrational. But there are times life gives us actual, rational reasons that would make anyone anxious.

So in these moments, please think of the words you choose. And if you have people in your world who just don’t understand anxiety - find your people who do!!

It doesn’t mean you have to eliminate your friends and family. But adding people to that circle you can turn to on days like my yesterday - it makes those days so much less lonely, so much easier to get through -

Because No One Should Struggle Alone!!

If you’ve been feeling more tired, foggy, or emotional lately — you’re not imagining it. Science shows that seasonal changes can intensify grief, depression, and anxiety. A University of Michigan study found that on high-pollen days, su***de deaths rose by 7.4%, and among those already struggling with mental health, that number climbed to 8.6%.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I unpack how physical triggers like allergies, shorter days, and disrupted sleep impact emotional healing — and how to care for your mind and body when both are carrying the weight of grief.

California just passed a first-of-its-kind law requiring social media platforms to display mental health warning labels for users under 18 — a move that’s being compared to cigarette warnings.

On today’s episode of , I break down what the law really does, whether it will make a difference, and what actually helps when it comes to protecting young minds.

This isn’t just about teens — it’s about all of us learning to set boundaries in a world that profits from our attention.

Because awareness is a start — but action changes everything.
