This week on The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast I am speaking with Martha Varela who is the Executive Director of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) California Chapter. We talk about the issues women veterans face and the unique challenges that females experience in a male dominated military.
Because there are so few options geared toward women veterans, we have to celebrate when holistic programs like Better With Horses come along to help improve the emotional, mental, and physical health of their participants.
Better with Horses is a program that was piloted byThe Horse Project Santa Barbara with input from Paralyzed Veterans of America California Chapter. Martha is participating in the program and shares with us what it entails and why she thinks the program is so special and different from any other programs out there.
If you are looking to support our military, consider sponsoring a woman veteran so that she can receive the support she needs to participate in The Better With Horses program and heal from all the trauma she has experienced in the military.
You can donate through The Horse Project website or the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Please specify that you are donating to sponsor women veterans. I'll share both links below.

If you are on the fence and not totally sure that you buy into the magical energy of the horses, sign up to volunteer at The Horse Project Santa Barbara and feel it for yourself. There are many ways to get involved and we talk about all of it in this podcast episode and last week's as well.

Never has there been an opportunity like this to support our women veterans. No donation is too small because they all add up-this is what the power of community and collaboration is all about.
So please consider donating to this project or get involved by becoming a volunteer. If neither of those are an option, spread the word so we can reach more veterans and more sponsors!

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.
