There are moments when the pain feels too deep to describe — when every step forward feels impossible and healing seems out of reach. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to those of you who are there right now, carrying heartbreak that feels unbearable.


I'll walk with you through the truth about pain — how it's not a sign that you're broken, but a sacred invitation to healing. You'll learn why pain isn't an interruption to your growth, but the very doorway to it. Together, we'll explore how to stop circling your wounds and instead tend to them with compassion, so that the pain can finally release what's ready to be freed.


If you're tired, scared, or wondering if you'll ever feel peace again, this episode is for you. Take a breath, lean in, and remember — you don't have to do this alone. Healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself and let others walk beside you.


Takeaways:

  • Pain is not proof of brokenness — it's a signal to heal.
  • Avoiding pain prolongs suffering; facing it opens peace.
  • Healing requires compassion, patience, and presence.
  • You don't have to heal alone — support is available.

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.
