More from Balls On The Table
Somatic healer Stevie Wright joins us at the Table for an honest conversation about intimacy, desire, healing, and why connecting with the people we love can be harder than it sounds. We get into what we say versus what we actually feel, where couples misunderstand each other, and why many women are drawn to the primal component of some good smut—and what fantasy can reveal about what we want, but don't always express. As a former American Idol contestant this woman still loves to perform - only now she’s doing it where it matters most; on herself and with others wanting to better understand themselves. Because understanding each other starts with being willing to ask the questions most people avoid—and being honest enough to hear the answers.
RICCARDO BERDINI: Some people play with the balls. Some people control the game. And then there are those who make you question whether you ever saw what you think you did. On this episode of BOTT, we’re joined by an illusionist and mentalist whose performances blur the line between skill, psychology, and the impossible.
Therapist and relationship coach Kristina Ferrari joins Balls on the Table for a raw conversation about the hidden patterns that shape how we love, connect, and protect ourselves. Kristina shares her own heartfelt story of marriage & divorce, abuse and the ways she learned to survive without even realizing she was doing it, and the moment she began to see that a life that looked successful on the outside could still feel deeply wrong on the inside.
Frank Grillo has built a career playing tough guys—but how much of that fire do you actually need to get through life? In this episode at the Table, Frank gets into his career, being a father to young men, reinventing himself, getting older, and knowing when to stand your ground—and when to walk away. We talk about discipline, relationships, success & failure, and the responsibility of giving boys the tools to stand up for themselves without needing to prove their worth to everyone else. From Bach’s cello suites to smoking Bufo - Frank Grillo isn't exactly what you expect. But he likes getting hit in the face, so we trust him. No posturing. No easy answers. No rules. Just a hell of a conversation about identity, resilience, and figuring out who you want to become.
Some people cut through the noise to reinvent themselves. Jonica Blu Booth decided to turn the volume all the way up.
