This episode offers a reframe of our understanding of pain, struggle, and life’s contradictions by introducing a radical spiritual lens: The Way of Paradox. Through the tension of opposites — grief and love, fear and faith, surrender and striving — we uncover not only the path to healing but the very ground where God meets us.
Drawing inspiration from mystics like Meister Eckhart and depth psychologist Carl Jung, Hannah explores how true transformation doesn’t come from bypassing pain, but from walking through it — holding space for both light and dark. She shares a moving story from a funeral that sparked this reflection, and connects it with how Conversational Hypnosishelps us shift perspective, access the subconscious, and experience profound healing.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in your struggle or disillusioned by surface-level “fixes,” this conversation offers you something deeper: a doorway to the divine within the very contradiction you’re facing.
💡 Topics Covered:- The sacred paradox: why true growth often begins in tension
- Why light is accessed through darkness — not in spite of it
- The tension of opposites and its role in psychological/spiritual individuation
- Meister Eckhart’s teaching: God is the ground where opposites meet
- The spiritual trap of judging experiences as “good” or “bad”
- How grief can become despair — or a doorway to grace
- Carl Jung’s “third way” and what it means for your healing
- The Cross as a cosmic paradox of death and transcendence
- The power of subconscious work to reframe unsolvable problems
- Real-life insights from a recent client session (and the surprising message Hannah received herself)
- Why awareness of spiritual warfare is important — but fear doesn’t get the final say
If you’re in the middle of your own undoing, unraveling, or contradiction — this episode is here to offer illumination, not answers. You’re not broken. You’re becoming. And your healing might just begin in the paradox you're trying to avoid.

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.
