If you’ve ever felt like the avoidant in your life is cold, distant, confusing, or hard to love… this episode will soften something inside you.

I’m sharing 5 unexpected lessons my avoidant partner taught me that actually helped me feel safer, calmer, more confident, and more SECURE in love.

And yes... this episode is about the good parts of avoidants. Because avoidants are not the villains here. They are humans with a completely different survival strategy.

This isn’t an “avoidants are toxic” conversation. It’s the episode that shows you the side no one talks about:

The parts of avoidants that make love gentle, grounding, freeing, magical… The parts that can grow you in ways you never expected. The parts your anxious brain might not see yet because fear is so loud.

If you’ve found yourself late-night googling things like:

  • “Why does my avoidant partner pull away after getting close?”

  • “How do avoidants show love if they don’t express it like I do?”

  • “Why do avoidants disappear then come back?”

 

This episode will give you answers but also a new perspective that feels like exhaling.

We’ll talk about how avoidants love differently, why space is not rejection, how to stop taking distance personally, and how understanding them can actually calm your nervous system instead of trigger it.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

🤍 a softer view of avoidants 🤍 more empathy (for them and for you) 🤍 5 mindset shifts that bring REAL peace to your relationship

Not by abandoning yourself. Not by shrinking. But by seeing the relationship dynamic with truth instead of fear.

This episode gives you the perspective that finally lets the anxious-avoidant dynamic feel less like war and more like two humans trying to feel safe in very different ways.

If you’re tired of demonizing avoidants or battling them… and you’re ready to understand the GOOD they bring too… this one is going to land deeply.

Stay until the end.. I’ll give you simple steps to feel more secure today, without chasing or overthinking.

Ready to see avoidants with new eyes? Let’s shift the narrative.. and maybe your heart too 🤍🧠✨

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
