Feeling deeply isn’t easy—but it can be beautiful. Tami and Scott, from The Assist Podcast, dive into what it means to live as empaths, including Scott’s life-changing near-death experience. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or felt weighed down by the emotions of others, you’ll resonate with this episode. They discuss self-discovery, trauma, parenting, and building meaningful connections for those ready to feel, heal, and grow.
Whether you’re navigating your own empath journey, supporting your kids through relationships, or simply seeking to understand yourself more deeply, this episode will remind you that healing happens in connection—and that we’re not meant to do life alone.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
