About Our Guest Ruthie "Thee Truth" is not just a professional, she's a haven for men struggling with hidden emotional turmoil. Through her work with fathers and male graduates, Ruthie noticed how these men internalize their emotions and struggle to find a safe space to express their vulnerabilities. Raised with a societal belief that monetary struggle equates to weakness, many men hesitate to voice their financial woes to women, fearing judgment or condescension. Men who were hesitant to reach out initially often found courage either by listening to her insightful talks on various podcasts or through her interactive sessions on 'Wheel of Life Wednesdays' on her Instagram Live. Ruthie's work is a testament to empathy and trust, making a tremendous difference in these men's lives, giving them a voice, and empowering them to face their vulnerabilities bravely.
