Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it lives in the body, in our patterns, and in our past. In this episode of Unravel, I walk you through 3 science-backed steps to help you break the cycle of anxiety and return to a sense of groundedness in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Step 1: Drop-In
Step 2: Discern
Step 3: Disarm
We explore:
• How anxiety shows up somatically—tight chest, shallow breath, restlessness
• The role of the amygdala, neuroplasticity, and inherited sensitivity
• A simple, powerful breath practice to reset your nervous system
• Why emotional boundaries are essential for nervous system regulation
• The neuroscience of walking and how it mirrors EMDR
• How social connection and co-regulation calm the release of tachykinins
This episode is for anyone who’s felt the inner buzz of anxiety and wants to experience it in a more compassionate, embodied way.
Let this be your reminder: you don’t have to live in a constant survival mode.

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.
