The T with Ruth

I want to become a Matchmaker! But there are other ways to find love as well. How have you found love? What is out there to help you? We'll chat about all of it in this cup of tea! Join us and share your stories.

Do you have to "code switch" in any area of your life? How do you do it? In this cup, we discuss living as a Christian and living while Black and how we have to live dual lives most of the time. I would love to hear about how you adjust and code switch in your own life - share it with me on social media.

Are you one of the almost 100 million Americans who have had COVID? Well, let's chat about it in this Cup. COVID is still very much a thing around the world, and we're learning to cope with it better each year. How are you dealing with the realities of COVID? Tell us on our social media pages @TheTwithRuth

In today's Cup, I talk about my knee surgery and how my recovery is going. It's been a rough two weeks+ and I want to remember it all in case I ever have to go through something like this again! So, join me as I rant about the past 20 days and how it's been going. Thanks for listening!

Due to a recent knee surgery, I'm going into the T packets and revisiting an episode from Season 1, Cup 11 - Spring Cleaning. So, enjoy or re-enjoy this Cup as you listen in this week. Thanks for listening! I'll be back next week with fresh content for you. Enjoy your week!

Voting rights, Roe v Wade, Miranda Laws - we are seeing these things disappear right in front of our eyes! Let's chat about it in this episode. Tiffany D Cross Show - Miranda Laws https://www.facebook.com/TiffanyDCrossSayItLouder/videos/438779751121213/

How do you track and accomplish your goals? What goals are you working on right now? And what is "adulting" and how do you know if you are doing it well? Today we discuss some things that are typically overlooked in adulting. Listen up and get this tea, because it could save you lots of time and even money.

What do Flag Day, Juneteenth, the US highway system, and flooded towns all have in common? They're all hidden history for the most part. There is so much history that we are just learning about in the recent years and I want you to learn about them just like I have been doing. Join me as we discuss some American history and learn a few things.

Welcome to Season 3!!! In today's episode, I talk about what's new with the podcast and what's new in my life. It's been six months since we last had a Cup, so welcome back! I'm excited to share what is happening, so grab a cup and join me! Thanks for listening!!

Welcome back to The T with Ruth! We are jumping into Season 3 with a whole world of change. Well, COVID is still around, but lots of other things have changed. The US economy is a mess, there's an ongoing war in the Ukraine against Russia, it's an election year, mass shootings are still happening, and if we only focus on the negative this would be a depressing podcast! So, we are also going to talk about some of my own personal goals - like writing a book, losing weight, my marriage (I's married ya'll), travel, and much more! Grab your cup because we're back!! See you next week! In the meantime, go ahead and catch up on Seasons 1 & 2. Thanks for listening!

Happy new year!! As we enter a new year, I look back on all of the episodes and add new info, corrections, or just chat about it. I truly appreciate you listening this season and I would love it if you joined in the conversation by commenting, following, and sharing. That's a wrap for Season 2 - I'll be back in 2022 with another season - see you then! Have a blessed, fun, prayerful 2022. Thank you!!

It's the end of the year already! Where did the time go? What happened in 2021? This Cup gives you a month by month list of important events that happened here in the US. It was a great year for some and not so great for others. How was it for you? What happened to you in 2021 and what would you like to happen in 2022. Share your thoughts with us. And Merry CHRISTmas! I pray that you are blessed this holiday season and surrounded by love wherever you are! Thanks for listening!!

Nooo! Not again! Another new year and another Coronavirus variant - the Omicron variant. What do we know about it so far? Where is it? Is it worst than the Delta variant? We will chat about all of these questions and more on today's episode. Thanks for listening!

World events - let's chat about them! In this episode, we travel the globe to discuss some things happening in the world and here in the US. What's interesting to you? What stories are you following? Please share them with us on The T with Ruth on social media. Thanks for listening!

Toxic relationships - we all know someone who is toxic in our lives. And if you don't know someone toxic, YOU might be that person! Relationships come in many different forms - individual/personal, family, friendships, religious, work, and there are others. We are going to touch on each of these relationship and why it is important to create healthy boundaries that help you to maintain your mental peace and sanity - because who else is going to do that for you? Thanks for listening!

The past election in 2020 brought to light a lot of stark differences in our country - differences that still linger. In American history, I don't recall people still rallying behind the loosing opponent and still displaying the loser's banners and flags. But here we are in 2021 and there are still rallies and people talking about a lost election. What else have you noticed that is different in our changing America? How did gas lighting and fear mongering become common words in the past few years? Do you know what critical race theory is? Let's chat about it all in this episode of The T with Ruth. Thanks for listening!

Did you lose your job last year during the pandemic? Were you affected mentally, financially, spiritually, or physically? Do you find it hard to get back to "normal"? Well, join the crowd! In this cup, we'll chat about what has happened after COVID and how it is affecting our daily lives. Grab a cup of tea and join the conversation! Thanks for listening!

Four score and many years ago... well, that's what it feels like! It's been 1 1/2 years since we have been living in our "new normal" with the Coronavirus. March 2020 was a turning point for us in N America, and we have been dealing with this virus ever since. What changes would you like to see made permanent? What do you wish would go back to how things were in 2019? We talk about it all in this cup of tea. Join us!

Eating out, cooking, keto vs paleo, Jenny, intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, exercising - it's all too much! Did you know that the diet industry is a 70+ BILLION dollar business? And that's with a 95% failure rate! Why is it that 70% of Americans are overweight? What are we doing? How do we improve and treat our bodies better? We will discuss all of this and so much more on this Cup of Health because honestly, this is the only body (temple) we have - we MUST do better to help it last longer.

Have you ever wondered if protests and demonstrations actually work? I think they do make a difference, and in today's conversation we are going to talk about some of the changes that happened since the Summer of 2020. Police reform, people of color attaining high ranking positions, honest conversations about race relations, and much more took place. But did real change occur? You be the judge as you listen to this week's episode. Thanks for listening and share this cup of tea with a friend!

Grab a cup of tea as we head back in time during this episode - back to the summer of 2020 when the streets were crowded with protesters and the world woke up and took note of the racial injustices around the globe. There were international communities that came together to support one cause, one man - George Floyd. The world watched (because COVID left many of us to sit at home fixated on a TV screen or a computer screen) as George was murdered by a cop on camera in front of the world. Join me as I take you on a live protest in May of 2020. We will continue this conversation next week as we discuss what has changed since The Summer of 2020. Thanks for listening!

A lot has happened in America since Season 1 ended and I want to chat about some of it. What are your thoughts about the racial state of America (and the world) right now? Tolerance - what exactly is being tolerant? This week, I ramble on about some of my experiences - recent and past - with other people from different viewpoints. Grab a cup of tea and join me in the conversation. Thanks for listening!!

Counseling, therapy, whatever you call it - go get some! We're talking about this topic again because it's super important and needs to be discussed freely, openly, and honestly and without judgement, stigma or shame. WE ALL NEED COUNSELING. You'll understand my thoughts and my take on this in the Cup this week. And be sure to listen to Episode 13 of Season 1 for another chat on counseling. So grab a cup of tea and enjoy!

What are you listening to right now? What's playing on your MP3 player? (If you don't get that, you're too young for this podcast - LOL.) In this week's Cup, I share with you what is on my podcast playlist and what I watch on YouTube. I would love to hear what you are listening to and watching as well, so please share!!

OK, guess what? WELCOME BAAAAAACK!!! Yes, f.i.n.a.l.l.y. I'm back. Yay!! Well, officially I'll be back next week - this is just to let you know to get your listening ears ready!! Sooo, Cup 2 (of Season 2) is coming back next week. And we will have lots of new topics to discuss, some old topics to revisit, and even a live episode from the streets! Anyhoo, I'm excited and happy to have you join me for this new season - so let's gooooo!!

Welcome Spring! And how do you welcome spring during the Coronavirus - by Spring Cleaning, of course! We can't go anywhere so we might as well stay home and clean. In today's cup, I briefly go over the history of Spring Cleaning and give some ideas on what and where to tackle in your homes. And even beyond your home, we talk about other places that might need cleaning during this season. Let's do this together - because misery loves company. So put on some good music and let's clean!
