A Time to Rest and Repair for You and Your Pets
January often finds us feeling a bit blah after the excitement and energy of the holiday season. In this podcast episode, Jenn speaks with Pet Grocer staff member and owner of Be Light Wellness Coaching, Sarah O'Donnell, about the importance of rest and repair—for both you and your pets.
We explore the deep connection between our mental and physical well-being and how it can influence our pets' health. Just like us, they need time to rest, recharge, and repair. Here are some key concepts we discussed in the episode:
- Self-care: Prioritize activities that help you feel grounded and balanced.
- Unplugging: Take breaks from screens and digital distractions.
- Meditation: Practice mindfulness to reduce stress and promote calm.
- Grounding: Spend time in nature to reconnect with yourself.
- Eating Comforting and Nutritious Foods: Enjoy foods like broths, stews, fresh fruits, and vegetables to nourish your body.
- Gratitude Practice: Reflect on positive moments to shift your mindset.
We also discuss the science behind these practices, exploring how they support both mental and physical health for you and your pets. These practices benefit you and can also create a more peaceful, healing environment for your pets.
Tune into this podcast for a deeper dive into these topics and practical tips on how to bring more rest and repair into your life and your pet's routine.

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.
