Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here...
This episode isn’t here to sugarcoat. It’s here to shake up the narrative you’ve been told about your body. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you sure as hell aren’t a fertility failure. You’re just running someone else’s roadmap—and your body’s been trying to scream over the GPS the whole time.
I get real about a conversation with a client who spiraled into shame after one miscarriage. One. And that single event labeled her “infertile,” shoved her into IVF timelines, and triggered a full-blown identity crisis. We unpack what actually causes that my body is broken loop—and how you can stop living like a walking fertility statistic.
If you’ve been hustling your way to conception, skipping breakfast and skipping joy, this one’s for you. It’s time to ditch the factory and come back home to your body. You deserve better than another checklist. You deserve a damn revolution—press play.
“Your body is still fighting for you even when you're mad at it. Even when you’ve given up.”

Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.

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.
