Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show doesn’t just fall into one category of these “ double stigma…” categories. She’s the “winner winner” of both world’s: parenting a teenager with #ad...

Did the Miami Dolphins react in outrage, as many of the fans and broadcasters did? NOPE. They said something along the lines of “We don’t know what happened yet.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss ways you can add to a problem, and ways you can avoid adding to a problem. Because either way - there’s always noise! Remember th...
