Welcome to the Guns and Yoga Podcast
Today my guest is Dr. Renee Thornton. Dr. Thornton is an organizational and crisis intervention psychologist, author, entrepreneur, military veteran, mom, and founder of Pathfinder Resilience.
She is passionate about building high performing cultures within the first responder professions, whether it be with her Navigating Adversity program, a self-paced, one of a kind, wellness program with a whole person approach geared towards public safety professionals or her newest endeavor that focuses on leaders.
Dr. Thornton is the epitome of resilience; she shares her personal adversity while growing up and experiencing homelessness and how her experience in the military taught her about leadership.
Dr. Thornton is focused on building high performing cultures and has launched a new initiative geared towards forward thinking agency leaders which she discusses in our conversation. She gives us a little info about the playbook she’s developed and upcoming retreat and summit for this initiative which you can learn more about on her website, link included in the show notes.
Finally, we talk about a topic that’s been near and dear to my heart lately, Women; specifically, women at work operating within the organizational culture. Dr. Thornton is writing a book that highlights women’s unique skills and role as agency influencers. She has noticed in her work that women are typically the ones speaking about self-care. She believes Women have referential influence within organizations that drive key performance indicators and change within organizations.
Her book is a celebration of what women are naturally good at and what women need to work on; how to best deal with confrontation, boundary setting, and how to have difficult conversations. Something she says that all women could use some coaching around.

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.
