What if mental health isn't something you're diagnosed with—but something you train daily, like physical fitness?
Arnold Beekes watched the mental health system fail his sister. Institutions prioritized filling seats over healing people. Two of her classmates died by suicide that same week. That bike ride home changed everything.
A former corporate executive turned global citizen, Arnold created "brain fi...
"What if the smartest part of your brain is the one that learned to hide?"
We start with a grounding practice to meet the body where it is, then sit with therapist and podcast host Malisa Hepner to unpack how the "golden child" mask, complex trauma, and perfectionism can quietly fracture a life—and how she pieced it back together.
In this conversation:
- Trauma as separation from self, not just &quo...
The cards wouldn't shuffle. Then "Chop Wood" appeared twice. The universe was insisting on one message: transformation doesn't live in breakthroughs. It lives in what you do every single day.
In this episode:
- Why your nervous system resists simplicity (even when you crave peace)
- The real reason "just breathe" makes you roll your eyes
- Who you are when life isn't a crisis and why that ...
What if your body could trust your dreams?
In this raw EFT tapping session, we tackle a high-stakes fear: promoting a deeply personal book while living with brain lesions, chronic pain, and the very real risk that stress could trigger relapse.
Tapping coach Amy Vincze guides a live session that moves from 9/10 head pain to 2/10 in 45 minutes—not through bypassing fear, but by meeting it exactly where it live...
What if two minutes of breath could change the story you're living? We sit down with Rocío Aquino & Ángel Orengo to trace a path from chaos to center, through failure, forgiveness, and the everyday practices that make self-love practical. Their novel, The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses, isn't just a beautiful narrative; it's a field guide woven into story, where five women mirror our re...
Mindfulness extends beyond being a buzzword into a practical, accessible tool for navigating life's challenges with greater ease and presence.

87 days left in 2025. How did you invest your most valuable asset—your time?**
If you keep saying “I’ll do it next time” and never do, this episode is for you. We pull apart the unspoken rules keeping you small, be polite when disrespected, stay small so others feel safe, don’t ask for too much and replace them with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust you can feel in your body.
You’ll get a guided mi...

Your body whispers before it shouts. And when we ignore it, the cost shows up as burnout, grief flare-ups, and a nervous system stuck on high alert.
In this episode, I open up about pushing past my limits at a social event, how it reopened the imprint of a medical crisis with someone I love, and what it taught me about capacity: it isn’t weakness, it’s bandwidth. From that honest starting point, we unpack a clearer blu...

✨ Ever notice how your body tightens right when you’re about to step into your power? That chest pressure, racing thoughts, or sudden urge to shrink isn’t weakness, it’s your nervous system running an old protection program.
In this practical episode, I’ll guide you through why your body’s alarm system activates in moments of growth whether it’s speaking up, setting boundaries, or even receiving a compliment and what t...
Dr. Ronica Jacobs (Dr. Ro) transforms our understanding of resilience, challenging the notion that it means pushing through hardship without showing emotion or asking for help. She shares her journey from defining resilience as toughness to recognizing it as self-awareness and knowing when to seek support.
• Resilience is unique to each person and manifests differently depending on individual circumstances
Feeling emotionally numb? You're not alone. Many of us have become "smart, sad zombies" - we can analyze our feelings and name our patterns, but we can't actually process emotions or break free from emotional numbness.
In this episode, we explore why intellectual understanding doesn't equal emotional healing, and how to stop avoiding your feelings through shopping, scrolling, and overthinking.

Ever notice how good it feels to dream about that business you'll start, that trip you'll take, or that project you'll finally finish?
There's a reason for that intoxicating rush – your brain is literally throwing you a chemical party. Dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and norepinephrine flood your system, creating a natural high that feels amazing... but often leads nowhere.
The uncomfortable truth? ...
What's that thing you've been saying you're "almost ready" to do? The one you've researched to death, planned perfectly, talked about endlessly—but somehow never actually started?
That hesitation isn't what you think. You're not waiting to feel ready—you're waiting for permission. Permission to take up space, want what you want, and trust yourself in uncertainty.
In this epis...
September brings contradictory emotions that coexist within us—the relief of returning routines alongside the grief of what or who is missing. Our ability to simultaneously hold joy and sorrow, gratitude and grief isn't confusion or weakness, but rather the fullness of being human.
In this episode:
- The paradox of September: school routines returning while feeling the emptiness of change
- Why society pressures us ...
We explore the radical act of emotional integration—feeling everything without shame in a world that tells you to 'stay positive.' Your tears are not a sign you're doing life wrong, your anger is not evidence you're broken, and your grief doesn't mean you lack faith.
- Joy can exist alongside pain—it's not about bypassing darkness but learning to dance with it
- Emotions are not binary—you ...
THE MOMENT YOU CAN'T OUTRUN YOURSELF ANYMORE
There comes a point when the armor you built to survive starts suffocating you. When the 3 AM ceiling stares become unavoidable conversations with yourself. When your body finally says: "We can't keep running."
This is that moment—raw, unfiltered, and absolutely necessary.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The 3 AM reckoning - when your nervous system won&a...
We explore the profound realization that the gap between saying "I'm fine" and feeling like you're falling apart isn't weakness—it's extraordinary strength. Through a moving story about a client who sat with her dying mother for 18 hours straight, we discover how we often mislabel our deepest strengths as inadequacies.
• The way we automatically respond "I'm fine" ...

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.
