Note: the man on the left side of the episode artwork photo is Andre's Great Great Grandfather, Everett.  Andre asked us to place their photos side-by-side for his episode, as learning about Everett was a very special milestone for him in knowing his family history.  Andre not only has this picture of Everett, but also has a bill of sale for Everett from when he was a slave. Andre Roberts is a Personal Trainer and Tennis Instructor who currently resides in Beverly Hills, CA.  He was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was raised in a single parent household with his two siblings.   He experienced ongoing trauma as a child, including sexual assault, verbal and physical abuse, and intense prejudice and racism.  Andre’s experiences later served as fuel to his alcoholism and drug use as he entered high school, and later, adulthood.  We are so thankful that Andre agreed to come on this podcast and not only share his story of recovery from drugs and alcohol, but also his life experiences as a black man in today's America, and how that has shaped him.  As you'll hear in his story, Andre believes in the power of connecting with one person to set in motion a change for good.   Andre is about to celebrate having 8 years of sobriety, and is engaged to a beautiful woman, Patty, who inspires him every day.  We were SO inspired by our conversation with Andre, and we know you will be too!  He is such an incredible human being, and we believe you'll walk away from this interview with more knowledge, along with feeling inspired  to "find your lane" and go "all gas, no brakes" as Andre says into creating change within yourself and around you! :)   Subscribe to The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast Apple Podcasts | Google Play | Google Podcasts | Spotify Stitcher | iHeart | TuneIn | Overcast | SoundCloud   Our Sponsor:   Lionrock Recovery   Connect with Us: Podcast Website | Podcast Instagram | Podcast Facebook Lionrock Facebook | Lionrock Instagram Questions, comments or feedback?  Email us at podcast@lionrockrecovery.com

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.
