Samantha M Ruth

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 love my people and would not be here without each and every one of them!!

That includes those I’ve lost along the way.

Grief isn’t just about our initial, traumatic loss (and for some, too many of these!!) You lose others after that loss -

And I know it hurts!! If you can, focus on the space that opens up for more of your people - because, I promise you…. more will come! They won’t undo the pain of those who walked away and those you had to walk away from -

But they’ll make your life better!

Find your people. Don’t suffer alone!

Griefhab groups meet almost every day of the week and EVERY holiday! The link to learn more is in the comments ❤️ and you can reach out ANYtime!

Because no one should struggle alone❣️

September is National Recovery Month & September 14th is National Sober Day. Not everyone enjoys a cocktail. Think about offering a mocktail at your gatherings!

Just….. THIS - 🔥
Period.

If you had opinions about therapy a week ago - let’s reevaluate.

We ALL need a place to feel heard.
We ALL need a place to be supported. We ALL need to learn healthier ways to communicate, healthier ways to coexist, healthier ways to disagree.

Period.

As we remember 9/11, I can’t help but feel like this world hasn’t come very far.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I honor those lost on 9/11 as well as those lost yesterday -

Charlie Kick was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah yesterday while a student at Evergreen High School in Colorado wounded two classmates before taking his own life.

This is the world we live in. There are countless other tragedies that didn’t make the news, and while guns are the issue, hate is the root of the problem.

Tune in to hear an important conversation about doing better, communicating better, walking away better, apologizing better, disagreeing better, and just being better.
