In this episode, Dave sits down with the insightful and candid Pat Honiotes for a deep dive into the essence of self-discovery, authenticity, and empowerment. Born and raised in Nebraska, Pat's journey has taken her from teaching preschool to college, with a passion for witnessing the "light come on" in others' eyes when they grasp a new concept. Pat's pivotal moment came from her experience growing up with a severely mentally disabled sister, which ignited her lifelong commitment to advocating for dignity and respect for all. She reflects on her journey to self-acceptance, acknowledging her own quirks and outspoken nature, and how she learned to embrace these aspects of herself despite societal pressures to conform. Throughout the episode, Pat and I explore the concept of being the "nucleus of your own life," emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and authenticity. Pat's journey highlights the transformative power of speaking up for oneself and others, even in the face of adversity. One of the key takeaways from the episode is the importance of honest communication and self-awareness. Pat shares her insights on gaslighting and depression, encouraging listeners to examine the impact of their words and behaviors on mental wellness. She also emphasizes the value of having a supportive partner or coach for deep self-discovery, challenging listeners to consider how they can create positive change in their own lives and the lives of those around them. Listeners will walk away from this episode feeling inspired to embrace their uniqueness, speak their truth, and stand up for what they believe in, knowing that true empowerment comes from being authentic and unapologetically themselves.

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.
