On this episode of The Rising Podcast, Janel dives into her third principle: Simplicity, and why it’s the closest thing I have to a “favorite child” in her RISE framework (Reflection, Intention, Simplicity, Enjoyment). She shares her journey from growing up in a cluttered home to embracing minimalism, how the Minimalists documentary and Joshua Becker inspired her, and the practical steps she has taken to live with less. From resisting impulse buys to creating mindful spaces at home, this episode is a reminder that simplicity isn’t about deprivation—it’s about making room for peace, calm, and what truly matters: people, not things!


💬 In this episode:
- How childhood shaped my decision to live minimally
- The 2015 turning point that made me “savage” about clutter
- Practical tips for decluttering and avoiding overconsumption
- Why simplicity is freedom, not restriction
- How to carry less “stuff” into the next season of your life


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter or pressured to keep buying more, this episode will help you pause, reset, and bring conscious awareness into your home and heart!

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.
