What if your workouts and nutrition aren’t failing because of discipline but because of your inner child? In this episode, we dive into the deep connection between exercise, nutrition, trauma healing, and reparenting your inner child. You’ll learn why your inner child rebels when health feels like punishment, how your ego sabotages your fitness goals, and why showing up without “tools” (fuel, rest, or support) leaves your body unable to build the strong, healthy life you want.
F45 Grand Re-Opening Promos End August 31, 2025!
We’ll explore:
- Why movement is medicine for stored energy, emotions & trauma
- How neglecting nutrition after a workout is like showing up to a job site without tools
- The 3 people you must keep your promises to: your inner child, tomorrow-you, and 80-year-old-you
- The worthiness wound — and why healing it changes everything about fitness, food & self-care
- Strength training as a metaphor for life, growth, and proving your inner child right: you are capable
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep sabotaging myself?” or “Why do I fall off track when things are going well?” this conversation will help you break free from old patterns and see fitness, health, and self-love in a whole new way.

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.
