Early in life, Cheryl Vienna took the road that is often the safest traveled. Following her mother’s advice, Vienna set aside her creative aspirations and went to Purdue University to study engineering. While it was her first love, she continued to rise in the professional ranks. Life, no matter how successful, never comes without challenges. In 2009, Vienna was diagnosed with Stage IIA breast cancer. Receiving the diagnosis just three days before her wedding day — she decided only to tell a few people and continued with the wedding as planned. A year later, while she was going through chemotherapy, her job offered her a buyout. That moment would forever redirect her path. “When you have any type of life diagnosis like that, it makes you intentional,” says Vienna. On this episode of the Jackie Rae Show, Vienna explains how she is finding success in the entertainment world later in life. 👉 Make sure you're tuned in and ready to engage!

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
