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 discuss how you can too. I discuss the clues we get from our bodies. More importantly, I discuss the way...

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’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss the feelings that come up in relationships. All of the...

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 totally backwards! You can still access all of the talks in the library! If you didn’t register, get y...

That grief became a gift as he was able to see how he was being in the world and decided to change. He discovered how dogs are here to hel...

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.

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 well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web... but when I die, ...

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 Ruthless Show, I discuss what it means to have the Heart Of A Lion. I discuss why it’s none of our busin...

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’re all doing the best we can, right? On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I tell you how I rea...

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 while he was still using. This is a conversation that’s real, necessary, and a must watch (or listen!) D...

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 episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss the relevance of Colorado color codes - and all color codes u...

There’s astrology, and then there’s Tatjana Obradovic. When I say she’s unlike any other - that doesn’t even do her justice! 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 diagnosed with Autism and other developmental disabilities, and neuro-typical people, does not offer tools a...

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 today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss the importance of every step! I discuss why we need...

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 kickboxer and boxer with multiple World, European and National titles. Her outward success, however, had...

I discuss how much work it takes professionals - to treat the WHOLE person. I discuss how much work it takes clients - to b...

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.

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 and on the list goes. I’ve never done this before, but on todays episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I’m...

It’s National Suicide Prevention Week and National Suicide Prevention Month. I’ll say what I always say: shouldn’t every month be? It’s not easy for most people to speak up, and we only know if someone isn’t ok if they do speak up. Mental illness, trauma, addiction, grief….. invisible! On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss things everyone can do for each other -Speaking up is an important skill, but until then - let’s at least be there for one another. Whether we’re struggling or...

I’ve noticed a theme with several different clients lately. All different ages. Male, female. Different places in the world. Different jobs. All having the same issue: difficulty standing up for themselves. They have no problem standing up for others, but when it comes to their own feelings or how they’re treated - it’s a different story. On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss why this conversation matters! I discuss why you matter, why your feelings matter, and more! Self Care Fa...

It’s National Grief Awareness Day - and no one even knows. I’m making even more noise today - Because grief never ends. It’s invisible - so people don’t know who is struggling unless they speak up. And in this world full of judgments and stigmas, that’s not always easy. Unless you’re me. I’m speaking up for every single one of us. Just because grief is invisible doesn’t mean that we are!
