On this episode, we had the opportunity to hear from Audrey White, a grief coach who has experienced immense personal loss, including the passing of her father, mother, and brother and dealing with the fallout of divorce and job losses during the global pandemic.
Despite her own grief, Audrey's experience endowed her with the skills to become a grief coach, enabling her to help others navigate their own loss and painful emotions. She established the Grief Coach Academy, a platform created with the idea of training others to be grief coaches.
Audrey shared a unique coping mechanism she learned at the Grief Coach Academy - the "PEACE" method which helps people work through their grief. It stands for Present, Express, Accept/Appreciate, Consider, and Enthusiasm.
In the conversation, Audrey stressed the importance of allowing yourself to completely experience all the emotions around grief before progressing to acceptance and enthusiasm. Suppressed emotions, she warned, often create obstacles in the grieving process.
Audrey's ethos is to aid people in discovering their peace through their sorrow, in hopes of enabling them to live more fully. One major step towards this, she believes, is normalizing conversations around grief, allowing people to work through their pain in a healthier manner.

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.
