🎙 Guest: Dr. Sherry Papa, Holistic Family Chiropractor & Acupuncturist 🎧 Host: Hannah Mae

What if the overwhelm you’re feeling as a mom isn’t a personal failure… but a sign that your nervous system is just doing too much?

In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Sherry Papa and Hannah Mae explore how our bodies hold the stories we don’t always speak—and how self-regulation might be the simplest, most loving thing we can do as caregivers.

Between them, they’re raising 9 kids… and they’re here to tell the truth about what it really takes to reclaim calm, coherence, and joy in motherhood.

From nervous system mirroring to fascia, family patterns, and fascia (yes—your body remembers), this episode connects the dots between self-care and the health of your entire household.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A totally new understanding of how your energy impacts your kids
  • Tangible shifts to help you feel better without adding more to your to-do list
  • The science and soul behind why slowing down is powerful—and productive
  • Why your fascia might be holding trauma (and how to gently release it)
  • The surprising way play transforms your nervous system (and your family)

🌿 Plus: an invitation to the Reclaiming Joy Micro-Retreat in Tennessee! Think: hypnosis, acupuncture, dance, connection, joy… and nervous system repair in real time.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
