What if your body—your natural cycles—weren’t just considered shameful, but impure? What if you were told you couldn’t enter the kitchen during your period, and no one could touch you, simply because your culture deemed you unclean?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Shivani Jobanputra—wild woman, radical rebel, and sacred sister—who grew up under these very restrictions. Told again and again that her period made her untouchable, Shivani chose a different path. She challenged the beliefs ingrained in her family, stood in her truth, and reclaimed her period as a source of power. Today, she is not only liberated but is sharing stories of period power and womb wisdom with the next generation—ensuring that no child grows up feeling exiled from their own body.
Together, we explore:
✨ The impact of cultural taboos and patriarchal conditioning around menstruation
✨ The emotional and spiritual journey of reclaiming your body and breaking generational cycles
✨ How Shivani’s personal resistance led to transformation within her family and community
✨ The deep power of trusting your body, honouring your cycles, and reclaiming your voice
✨ Why menstrual shame is a global issue—and how we can dismantle it together
This episode is a call to liberation—for yourself, for your ancestors, and for the generations to come.

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.
