What does it mean to inhabit your body as consciousness itself? And how might that change how we heal from trauma, connect with others, and experience intimacy?
In this episode, Judith Blackstone—psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, and founder of The Realization Process—joins me to explore the transformative power of embodied awareness. Drawing from over 30 years of practice, Judith shares how trauma-based constrictions form in the body’s fascia, how they shape our emotional and relational patterns, and how reconnecting to what she calls fundamental consciousness allows deep psychological and spiritual integration.
We discuss the intersection of embodiment and awakening, how to reclaim the “uninjured” part of the self, and what it really means to connect core to core—within ourselves and in relationship with others.

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.
