The Bronze Medal Life
Colleen Lindstrom left a 20 year broadcasting career to be more present with her family. She has become very passionate about the idea that part of our problem as a society is the race to perfection at the expense of our own health and quality of life. With a quirky personality, a dose of humor, and a lot of reflection, Colleen brings you along on her journey of putting down the expectations and drive to the mythical land of ”perfection” in service of being okay... and learning to be okay with that.

Do you ever think that you're the problem? When a friend pulls back a little, or someone seems to be acting funny, do you assume you must have done something to cause it? Colleen wants you to know that you are probably not the problem.
The term self-care is so amorphous. Because of that, it can feel a little overwhelming to be told when you're overwhelmed that you need to practice self-care. What even is that? Colleen works through that and other random Bronze Medal Life thoughts...

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.
