Pallavi's journey through chronic pain began with physical agony, but led to spiritual transformation. She grew up in India with a deep love of dance that had turned into a passionate career in her early 20s. On a fateful day about 6 months after her marriage in 2011, she fell from her bike while racing her cousins and went sliding down the road. This accident ended her dance career, leaving her in extreme pain that did not improve with time, baffling her doctors. Pallavi's situation expanded far beyond chronic pain - it became mysteriously difficult for her to use the right side of her body. She struggled to sleep, get out of bed and feed herself. Doctors had no idea how to help her, prescribing a large cocktail of medications out of desperation. Pallavi's turning point came when she overheard a doctor saying that she wasn't actually in pain, and just wanted attention. This made her extremely angry, and she vowed to find a way to overcome this mysterious affliction. Pallavi began to learn everything she could about energy healing and holistic wellness. She soon realized that the more she meditated, the less pain she was in. After around 3.5 months of meditation, she was pain free. On this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Pallavi shares how her harrowing journey with chronic pain has fueled her new purpose in life: to lead people with chronic pain and chronic illness through holistic wellness practices. She tells us about getting diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years after her accident, finally having a name to put to her mysterious pain. She also discusses the deep spiritual journey that resulted from this experience, learning to listen to ancient wisdom that helped transform her life. She now provides a healing space as a meditation, yoga and energy healing practitioner.

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.
