In this episode, we dive deep into what might be the most overlooked aspect of wellness in midlife: our relationships. While we're busy chasing the perfect diet, exercise routine, or supplement regimen, the true foundation of our health may actually be the quality of our connections—with others, with food, with movement, and most importantly, with ourselves.
Joined by the insightful Laini Gray, we explore how to conduct a thorough "relationship audit" across all domains of life. We discuss practical strategies for assessing which relationships energize us versus deplete us, and provide actionable steps for setting boundaries, nurturing positive connections, and healing the relationships that impact our health daily.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why healthy relationships might be more important for your wellbeing than the "perfect" protocol
- How to recognize when a relationship is depleting rather than nourishing you
- Practical strategies for setting boundaries and transforming unhealthy connections
- The critical role your relationship with yourself plays in determining all other relationships
- Specific action steps to start improving your relationship wellness today
Have a listen and share this with a midlife woman who might need to hear the message.

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.
