💚🎗 Join Tommy Streeter and Nate Moellering for this powerful episode as they sit down with special guests Zach Dawson from the Bare Knuckle Recovery team and Allendale Treatment, along with Jarred White, founder of FW22, to discuss Mental Health Awareness Month and PTSD Awareness Month (recorded in June).
👀 Note: If you'd prefer to watch this episode, you can find it on YouTube by searching for Bare Knuckle Recovery.
The group delves into the stark reality of mental health struggles, particularly the skyrocketing suicide rates, especially among men and veterans. They explore how modern life contributes to the problem, discussing the isolating effects of social media and "artificial connectivity," which often replaces genuine human connection; a key to overcoming addiction, depression, and anxiety.
A core part of the discussion centers on the nature of PTSD, with Jarred sharing his perspective that it's often rooted in what someone tried to do to you rather than what one has done. They also explore the complex relationship between substance abuse and mental health, noting that one can mask the other, making it difficult to properly diagnose and treat.
The episode then shifts to focus on the solution, emphasizing the critical need for action and commitment, not just talk, to achieve lasting recovery and mental wellness. They stress that treatment is not "one size fits all" and encourage listeners to find their support system and take proactive steps like exercise, prioritizing sleep, and journaling. Zach shares his personal journey, underscoring the importance of asking for help and actively working to rebuild relationships.
👊 The team closes with a strong message of unwavering support: they promise to fight tirelessly for anyone reaching out, regardless of circumstance, with a commitment to meet people where they're at, but not leave them there.

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.
