When the gloves come off in divorce court, Lois Liberman (https://www.blankrome.com/people/lois-j-liberman) brings empathy, grit, and a wicked sense of humor. In this Dancing in the Discomfort Zone episode, the powerhouse attorney with 36 years in matrimonial law spills the truth about what really goes down when love unravels—and how to come out stronger.
Always striving to reduce her clients “emotional capital expenditure,” Lois helps clients stop wasting energy on battles that don’t matter and start focusing on healing, growth, and what’s next. She’s part therapist, part strategist, part truth-teller, and yes—she keeps voodoo dolls in her office for comic relief.
From high-profile cases to heartbreak over antique mirrors, Lois has seen it all. But behind every fight, she finds humanity, humor, and the possibility of a better future. Her “Look Ahead with Lois Liberman” initiative gives real-world advice on co-parenting with narcissists, rebuilding finances, and rediscovering yourself after divorce.

- The emotional stages of grieving a marriage (and how to move forward)
- How to tell when control crosses into coercion
- Why she believes divorce can be a rebirth, not just an ending
If you’ve ever faced heartbreak, conflict, or reinvention, this conversation will change how you see endings—and the power that comes after them.

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.
