Too often, addiction is clouded by stigma, shame, and incomplete information. Misconceptions—like the belief that acknowledging powerlessness is weakness, or that labeling addiction is harmful—keep people stuck in cycles of pain and judgment.
In this episode, Hannah Mae breaks through the myths and explains why naming addiction and admitting powerlessness is not a limitation, but the very key that unlocks freedom and lasting recovery.
You’ll discover: 🌿 Addiction as a threefold illness — mind, body, and soul 🌿 Why “willpower” has nothing to do with recovery 🌿 The misunderstood role of naming and identifying addiction 🌿 How compassion heals both those in recovery and those harmed by addiction 🌿 Why spiritual solutions remain the foundation of true transformation
Whether you’re on your own recovery path, supporting someone you love, or seeking deeper understanding, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Healing begins with awareness.

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.
