In this episode, Gaby dives deep with Gloria Eid about:
- exploring who she is without her work
- developing self-trust
- how she supported herself through transitions (incl. career change)
- losing her father while away from home
- grieving while holding space for others in her own work
- developing presence with the uncomfortable
- loss of identity
- honouring endings
...plus advice on how you can start being more present while grieving.
Gloria is a writer, poet, leadership coach, and grief movement guide who helps people navigate their growth and transitions, access their creative abilities, and become who they need to be to carry out their unique roles in life and career.
In 2016, she quit her career track with no set plan, taking a 10-month career pause that ultimately propelled her into the creative life and work she has today.
Through her own experiences with grief and death, her writing and coaching often explores how to find peace in life’s mysteries, carry onward in the aftermath of loss, and live in the nuance of keeping it together when things have fallen apart. She is a featured poet on an upcoming documentary called Heal Through Poetry, and her episode shares intimately about the death of her dad in 2019 and the ensuing experiences and perspectives she’s been left with while grieving and healing.

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.
