In this season of giving thanks, we bring you the story of Lisa Mesquela—a woman who turned her second chance at life into a mission to protect those without a voice. Diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago, Lisa emerged not only as a survivor but as a fierce advocate for farm animals suffering from abuse and neglect.
On Grounding Journey, she shares the path that led her from a life of quiet strength to founding a sanctuary for over 80 animals, facing her deepest fears, and finding purpose beyond herself. Hear how Lisa's journey from personal survival to community impact reminds us of the resilience, compassion, and power of purpose—perfect for anyone seeking to connect with gratitude and the true spirit of giving back.

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.
