Together, they create a safe space for exploring spirituality, alignment with your higher self, and the deeper dimensions of wellness without losing your grip on the real. Whether you're a full-on spiritual explorer navigating your soul journey or just metaphysical-curious about raising your vibration, this show is your backstage pass to conversations with: Mediums & mystics Spiritual awakening coaches Scientists of consciousness and quantum healing Energy healers, channelers & ascension guides And everyday people with extraordinary stories of transformationWhy listeners love it: It's smart, soulful, funny, and deeply validating.

It's about brave exploration of consciousness, inner work, and remembering your connection to the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Tune in. Wake up. Align with your highest self. And maybe...just maybe...remember who you really are. New episodes every Wednesday and bonus episodes throughout the week!

    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.
