I'm thrilled to welcome Kylene Terhune, a betrayal trauma recovery coach and classically trained singer, onto the show this week. Kylene specializes in supporting women who have discovered their husbands are porn or sex addicts. Her unique, holistic approach integrates physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing, utilizing functional lab work, nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and trauma processing.
During our conversation, we discussed what being a betrayal recovery coach entails and Kylene’s personal experience that led her to this profession. She openly shares her emotional story of discovering her husband's hidden addiction and the subsequent impact on her mental and physical health.
Her path to healing, which involved functional health and therapy, ultimately helped her rediscover and reclaim her voice by reconnecting with her passion for singing. Getting back into a creative mindset significantly contributed to her healing and allowed her to regain a sense of groundedness and empowerment in her life.
Kylene's story underscores the therapeutic power of creative expression for healing from traumatic experiences. She explains the importance of tapping into one's creativity—whether through singing, writing, gardening, or any other medium—as a vital step in healing from trauma. By re-engaging with her true voice, Kylene found a way to blend her professional expertise with personal growth, ultimately leading her to help others in their journey towards recovery and self-reclamation.

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.
