There's this quiet desperation that happens in relationships that no one talks about. It's not dramatic enough to call it a crisis, but it's not subtle enough to ignore.

You're managing life together beautifully - paying bills, raising kids, checking boxes - but somewhere along the way, your souls stopped feeding each other. You've become efficient teammates instead of nourishing lovers, and your nervous system is sending you signals that something essential is missing.

In this episode, I'm naming what so many of us experience but struggle to articulate - relationship malnourishment.

This isn't about not loving each other enough. It's about feeling unconsciously starved in your relationship of the specific emotional nutrients your unique designs actually need to thrive.

In this episode, you'll discover how to recognize when you're experiencing relationship malnourishment, what nutrients you're actually craving, and how your Gene Keys Attraction Sphere reveals your unique blueprint for creating nourishing connection.

I'm breaking down the four core relational nutrients (safety & consistency, play & investment, understanding & forgiveness) and sharing how understanding your partner's Attraction Sphere can transform malnourishment into conscious nourishment.

If you've been questioning "Are we compatible?" or feeling like you're just managing logistics instead of creating magic, this episode will help you understand what's actually missing and how to feed your relationship back to aliveness.

🔥 What We're Covering:
  • The warning signs of relationship malnourishment (energy depletion, missing pieces, roommate dynamics)
  • Four core relational nutrients your nervous system needs to thrive
  • Your Gene Keys Attraction Sphere - the blueprint for how you create relationship chemistry
  • The 6 line expressions in attraction and how they show up as shadows or gifts
  • How understanding your partner's design stops you from taking their patterns personally
  • Practical ways to consciously nourish each other instead of unconsciously starving
  • The monthly nourishment check that transforms relationships from surviving to thriving
The truth is...

Relationship malnourishment isn't about not loving each other enough. It's about not understanding what specific nutrients each of your nervous systems actually needs to thrive. When you start consciously feeding each other what you're actually starving for, your relationship becomes a source of energy instead of depletion.

Be sure to grab you and your partner's Gene Keys Profiles so you can dive in your Attraction Spheres and start to nourish your relationship like you're both craving.

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.
