🎙 Episode 23: The Thing No One Warns Us About Being This Age (The Whole Messy Package)
No one really prepares you for this stage of life — the one where you’re juggling growing kids, aging parents, shifting friendships, career burnout, and the wild mix of confidence and chaos that comes with being “this age.” It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s kind of beautiful once you stop fighting it.
In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ The unexpected emotional load of your 30s and 40s ✨ Why growth sometimes feels like falling apart first ✨ The beauty in letting go of who you thought you’d be by now ✨ How to embrace the in-between without losing yourself
Because nobody warned us that this season would be both exhausting and freeing — but maybe that’s exactly what makes it magic.

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.
