Griefhab

Griefhab Griefhab™ is a Michigan-based and virtual nonprofit providing 24/7 grief and mental health support for all kinds of loss. Because No One Should Struggle Alone!

Founded by Samantha Ruth, Griefhab™ offers therapy, groups, crisis care, and community events. 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

How did we get from where we were to where we are now? Everyone talks about “how to get where you want to be,” but not enough about the journey that shaped you in the first place. I dove into this on last week’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show.

New episodes every Tuesday with me, and Fridays with a guest... on all of your favorite podcast platforms!

March is full of invisible awareness days that almost no one talks about. They slip by quietly... not because they don’t matter, but because they don’t get the same visibility or momentum as the big, well‑known ones.

Things like:
🧩 National Nutrition Month
🧩 Save Your Vision Month
🧩 National Development Disabilities Awareness
🧩 National Sleep Awareness
🧩 National Autoimmune Disease Awareness
🧩 Problem Gambling Awareness
🧩 National Color Therapy Month
🧩 Self Harm Awareness
🧩 Brain Injury Awareness
🧩 Poison Prevention Awareness
🧩 Eye Donor Awareness
🧩 Bleeding Disorders Awareness
🧩 Gender Equality Month

Most people don’t know these even exist. They’re not on calendars. They’re not trending. They don’t show up in your feed unless you’re already living them.

But, they’re real!! And honestly, that’s one of the reasons Griefhab™️ exists in the first place. To shine a light on the things people live with silently, because no one should struggle alone, EVER.

Sometimes the most meaningful awareness days are the ones that stay quiet... the ones that remind you that YOUR story is real, even when it isn’t widely recognized.

So many people hide their grief because of the noise and pressure from the world to heal by a certain point in time.

There is no deadline. It’s different for each and every one of us - but what IS the same is that hiding our pain makes it last longer.

Heal YOUR way. At YOUR pace! Tune out all of the other noise. It’s your path - no one else’s!

How did we get from we were to where we are today?

There’s so much conversation around how to get from where we are to where we want to be. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I focus on our growth.

Because I'm moving. AGAIN. Unexpectedly .

And I had chaos within the unexpected chaos. And I didn’t lose it. Not even a little. Original Sam would not be moving because she panicked. Sam X.0 (I've lost count) is moving because she trusts the universe and absolutely never ignores the signs!

This episode is about the journey. The lessons. The losses. And the growth. And so much more.

Every BODY Belongs ❣️

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week - and contrary to the myth that eating disorders only affect young girls, eating disorders actually affect 30 million Americans across all ages, sizes, races, genders, and backgrounds.

This , let’s come together to remind every person impacted by eating disorders that they are not alone—and that Every BODY Belongs!

Throughout , we’ll work together to challenge stigma, expand understanding, and ensure that all people affected by eating disorders feel seen, supported, and valued.

You can help!!!

❤️ Share this post

🧡 Make your own post

💛 Start a simple conversation. Most of the world has no idea it’s and

💚 Donate to an organization supporting eating disorders

💙 Remember that people suffer in silence and these same people are surrounded by food everyday and everywhere. Pay attention to the words you use. You never know who is struggling right next to your conversation.

💜 Wear something purple to increase visibility -

Remember that you only know what people choose to share. Most eating disorders are invisible. Until it’s too late.

Life is messy, and staying sane can feel like a full‑time job. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to go through it alone! Healing. Happens. Together.

Lately, I’m reminding myself…
💜It’s more than okay to reach out to a professional, a group, a community. Anything other than trying to carry everything by myself.
🧡Asking for help takes courage, and stepping out of my comfort zone isn’t easy, but support DOES shows up when I let people in.
💚Practicing gratitude is necessary even when it feels impossible.
❤️️️And above all, I get to live life my way!

This is your life. Make sure you’re living it in a way that feels true to you.

Ask yourself: am I doing things my way?

Calling All Sponsors for Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss

Grieve out loud with Faces of Grief!

The world expects a lot from us, especially when it comes to grief. Too many people suffer silently.

Faces of Grief exists to change that. It’s a place where real stories, real connection, and real community care come together so no one has to navigate loss alone.

The next book in this movement, Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss, is officially in the works. And we need your support.

To keep this project accessible for future authors, I’m inviting aligned partners to join as sponsors. Your support helps amplify these voices so their messages and lived experiences can reach the rest of the world who needs to hear these stories.

Sponsorship isn’t just financial support. It’s advocacy. It’s standing with people in their hardest moments. It’s helping break the silence around grief and making healing resources more available to the individuals and families who need them most.

If you’re committed to mental health, community care, grief literacy, or simply helping people feel less alone, this is a meaningful way to be part of our massive movement.

If this feels like your kind of work, reach out to become a sponsor.

Today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show is a wake up call.

A 13 year old completes her own intake paperwork. No parent. No guardian. No emergency contact. If something had gone wrong, there would have been no adult to call.

A 16 year old starts therapy. No parent reaches out before. No parent follows up after.

This is not about blame. It is about responsibility.

Teens today are reporting record levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Emergency room visits for adolescent mental health crises have surged in recent years. And yet more and more adults are stepping back from direct involvement in their children's care.
In this episode, I discuss :

• The growing gap between adolescent mental health needs and adult engagement
• Why autonomy without containment is dangerous
• The legal and ethical realities therapists face when no guardian is involved
• The difference between empowering teens and abandoning oversight
• When adult absence is avoidance, burnout, or something more serious
• The cultural shift toward convenience over accountability

I also address the harder truths:

Some teens are acting out.
Some are protecting themselves in unsafe homes.
Some adults are overwhelmed.
Some are disengaged.

And systems are making it easier for everyone to opt out.

If a minor is in therapy, an adult is part of the treatment whether they participate or not.

This episode challenges caregivers, therapists, and systems to examine where responsibility begins and where it has quietly disappeared.

Because when a teen shows up alone, someone else is missing.

And that matters.
