In this episode, Tiffany sits down with Ruthie Thee Truth, an author, financial wellness coach, and expert in helping dads and grads navigate their financial challenges.

Ruthie shares her unique perspective on the emotional and mental roadblocks that often prevent men from seeking financial guidance. She emphasizes the importance of creating a safe space for them to express their vulnerabilities without feeling judged or weakened.

Throughout the conversation, Ruthie breaks down the eight major life categories that directly impact both mental health and finances, highlighting the significance of goal-setting and self-reflection. She also dives deep into relationship dynamics, discussing how unresolved childhood traumas and misaligned love languages can lead to financial strain.

Ruthie's wisdom extends beyond just the dads, as she shares valuable insights for women to better understand and support the men in their lives. By the end of this episode, you'll gain a fresh perspective on the intersection of mental health, relationships, and financial well-being.

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.
