Authentic leadership is proven to be better for your relationships, your team, your bottom line, and your well-being. Yet, leading authentically is easier said than done at work—especially for working women and other marginalized leaders who often feel pressure to change themselves to belong in a system built by and for others. So how do you tap into your authentic leadership anyway?
In this episode, we’ll dive deep into why authentic leadership is so important and how to cultivate it in your work and life. With insights from top CEOs like Melanie Dulbecco, Stephanie Nadi Olson, and Alfa Demmellash, you’ll discover three powerful mindset shifts to help you lead more authentically, avoid burnout, and finally feel aligned. If you’ve ever felt like you have to act a certain way to be taken seriously at work—more polished, more professional, more together—this episode is for you.
You'll learn:
- Why trying to “fit in” at work may be quietly burning you out
- How authentic leadership actually makes you more effective and respected
- Three mindset shifts to help you show up with more confidence, clarity, and calm
- The real reason so many women feel like they’re “not quite themselves” at work—and how to fix it
Plus, you’ll hear a story about a woman in Birkenstocks singing Nina Simone at a business conference. (Trust me—it’s worth it.)
This episode isn’t just about leadership. It’s about reclaiming yourself—at work, in life, and in every room you walk into.

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.
