In this gripping episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt takes a deep dive into the often-misunderstood world of psychopaths and sociopaths. With her unique blend of insight and humor, Brianne explores the key differences between these two personality types, unraveling the complexities of their behaviors and the underlying causes that shape them.
Throughout the episode, Brianne shares her experiences working with individuals who exhibit these traits, emphasizing that while psychopaths are often born with certain genetic predispositions, sociopaths develop their behaviors through environmental factors and trauma. She highlights the stark contrasts in their behaviors—psychopaths tend to be controlled and manipulative, while sociopaths exhibit impulsive and erratic tendencies.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the characteristics that define these personalities, from the lack of empathy and emotional connections to the calculated and often charming facade that psychopaths can present. Brianne provides practical advice for recognizing and protecting oneself from these individuals, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that understanding personality disorders can have on our relationships and well-being. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to navigate their interactions with empathy and awareness, all while safeguarding their own mental health.

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.
