I've been talking about how much Mental Healthcare in Colorado is lacking for nearly ten years. I've been talking about how it's pretty much avoided in conversations here, altogether. You don't hear people discussing therapy. You certainly don't hear people recommending it or discussing the need for more services - unless you're talking to me. Or to today's guest on The Be Ruthless Show. Chrysta Bairre is a Colorado Native who shares my perspective on Colorado and it's below par Mental Healthcare. She also happens to be a new friend and someone I'm so unbelievably grateful to have connected with - personally and professionally!

Her clients increase their income $10K or more, while also increasing their impact-- so they confidently say no in business, stop overgiving (and giving and giving and giving), and find greater peace and happiness in and out of the office.

I have a fantastic conversation about how to thrive during this time and connect with your identity. Unfortunately, identity is something we've all lost a little… or maybe even a lot… losing our identity and connection to that which makes us… well US… can cause a lot of problems. It's a tough time and our desire is to help you to reconnect with your identity, so you can thrive right NOW! Joining me on this episode is Nick Armstrong, organizer of Fort Collins Comic Con and Fort Collins Startup Week, as well as the owner of WTF Marketing. Nick is a prolific and renaissance geek. Meaning, he's a geek at heart and yet has many interests and talents. I asked Nick what he thought people needed right now. He told me 3 things that really sparked my interest and I found to be very true. These 3 things are: Connect with your identity (as we've all lost some or much of it with this current situation) Mental health, or grief, help. We're all dealing with a level of grief in some way right now. Curation of great content. There is a LOT going out right now. Everyone is now creating something and putting up for our consumption.
