In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most requested topics in the emotional healing world.. parts.

A listener asked a powerful question: “What’s the difference between shadow work, protector parts, orphaned parts, repressed parts, suppressed parts… and how do I know if I have them?”

This episode brings clarity to those concepts through an Energetic, Root Cause Therapy, Somatic, and Trauma Informed lens. And you bet you...

We all lose our patience sometimes.. it’s part of being human. But when we understand why our nervous system reacts the way it does, we can shift from shame to awareness, from reactivity to repair.

We are back with another listener submission episode, and today let’s get into exploring the intersection of trauma-informed parenting and self-regulation for co-regulation.. unpacking how big emotions, ours and our children’s, can becom...

You’ve probably heard it before - “your trauma is stored in your hips.” But what does that really mean, and how do you actually release it?

Thanks to this listener’s submission, let’s unpack the deeper science and energetics behind the concept of trauma being stored in the body. You’ll learn:

  • Why trauma can imprint in the hips - and other parts of the body too
  • How the b...

Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Your nervous system isn’t asking you to do more.. it’s asking you to be more you.

Sometimes the missing link isn’t another routine or mindset shift.. it’s about learning how to close the loops - those energetic, emotional, and mental cycles that keep us in survival mode - and come back into regulation.

In this episode, we explore what it means to embody authentic nervous system regulation.. wher...

This episode is a reminder I needed… that it’s okay to feel both. You can be excited and still feel sad. You can be celebrating and grieving. You can be ready to move forward and still need space to process what’s behind you.

Life has felt heavy lately.. the change of seasons, the back-to-school rush, and the swirl of world events. It’s easy to get swept up in the noise, to keep pushing forward, and to forget to pause, reconnect, a...

It’s been a little while since we’ve been together here on the podcast.. and I am so glad to be back with you!!

Over the last month, I pressed pause and spent two weeks on the road with my family. It felt like a grounding little cocoon for us - long car rides, simple moments, exploring new places, soaking in nature, and deep deep presence together - and it gave me the space to come back feeling more clear and intentional about the ...

A much-requested conversation is finally here: Spiritual Awakening 101. I’ve literally updated the tagline for my entire business because of how many of you are moving through this exact experience.. the waking up, the unraveling, the remembering.

Allow me to start this episode by sharing a story with my son in the garage that lead to one of the most important lessons I believe we can offer ourselves and our children: the practice of building unconditional self love for ourselves.

- To love yourself fully - even the messy parts - To trust your inner voice, especially when it’s hard - To have the confidence to be yourself - To believe that you are enough, as you are

This episode takes you into one of the most misunderstood and deeply rooted emotions we carry - shame. Originally recorded as a post-session protocol for a Root Cause Therapy client, this informal yet powerful conversation unpacks shame’s hidden role in self-sabotage, addiction cycles, emotional shutdown, and identity.

We explore how shame anchors us in lower vibrational states on Dr. David Hawkins’ Scale of Consciousness, how it s...

    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.
