I'm honored to welcome my friend, Will Hudson, to the podcast today!
Will's story starts like many others in ranch country: long hours, responsibility at a young age, and a deep desire to prove himself. But somewhere along the way, approval from others became his fuel, and drinking became the way to feel "good enough."
In today's episode, we're diving into what being seen and staying sober has really entailed for Will. What started as a party habit in high school and college grew into something that quietly followed him home, into marriage and fatherhood. His story is one of redemption, humility, and hope. He is proof that healing doesn't make us weak; it makes us whole!
In this episode, we cover:
- Will’s journey from ranch manager to rediscovering his faith, purpose & sobriety
- How drinking became tied to seeking approval and self-worth
- The moment Will’s wife’s ultimatum changed everything + what life looks like on the other side of addiction
- The role of Wild Courage + the power of being witnessed without judgment or fixing
- How faith, community & emotional honesty reshaped Will’s marriage and relationships
- The unexpected ways inner healing has improved Will’s connection with horses & work on the ranch
- Why true strength means showing up, being seen, and doing the hard inner work

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.
