Shame says, “You don’t deserve to be thankful.” But gratitude? It silences that lie.
In this healing episode, I’m diving into how gratitude becomes a weapon when shame tries to steal your joy, your voice, and your confidence. If you’ve been battling emotional pain, silent shame, or self-doubt—even while trying to trust God—this is your moment to reclaim peace.
You’ll learn why gratitude and shame can’t coexist, and how practicing thankfulness helps retrain your heart to receive love again, without guilt or striving.
✨ Inside this episode:
• How gratitude restores emotional confidence
• Why you can stop rehearsing regret and start walking in joy
• Using gratitude to confront shame and the enemy’s accusations
• A faith-filled reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of peace
🎧 You’ll also receive an affirmation to anchor your identity and a journal prompt to help you thank God—even for the parts that still ache.
Sis, you’re not too broken to be grateful. You’re still worthy of joy.

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.
