Are you feeling disconnected, sensitive, or like your old life no longer fits? You may not be breaking down—you may be waking up.
In this soul-nourishing episode, Dr. Gary Danko guides listeners through the powerful and often disorienting process of spiritual awakening signs and stages. With 30+ years of experience in metaphysical psychology, hypnotherapy, energy healing, and spiritual counseling, Dr. Danko offers a grounded and compassionate understanding of what it truly means to wake up to your soul’s truth.
Whether you’re just beginning to question old belief systems, or you’ve found yourself in the midst of emotional turmoil, physical symptoms, or sudden life changes, this episode outlines the key signs and stages of a spiritual awakening—from disillusionment and ego death to heart opening, intuitive development, and soul reintegration.
You’ll learn how awakening is not a one-time moment, but a cyclical journey that unfolds in waves. Dr. Danko shares how common challenges like anxiety, insomnia, relationship shifts, loss of identity, or physical fatigue are not breakdowns—but sacred invitations to release what no longer aligns with your evolving consciousness.
This episode also introduces tools and practices to navigate your awakening, such as energy hygiene, spiritual journaling, intuitive listening, breathwork, and Dr. Danko’s own Free Activations at DrGaryDanko.com, specifically crafted to support listeners in grounding, clearing energy, and reconnecting to their divine self.
Whether you’re a healer, empath, or someone just starting to feel that “there must be more,” this episode brings reassurance, clarity, and gentle guidance. Spiritual awakening doesn’t have to be chaotic—it can be conscious, intentional, and supported.
Because you’re not going crazy…
You’re coming home.

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.
