What if your income isn’t the problem?
If you’ve ever told yourself, “I just need to make more money and everything will be fine,” this episode is going to shake things up—in the best way.
I sat down with money coach Nicole Stanley, and we dove deep into a powerful conversation about debt, financial freedom, and why it’s often not about how much you earn—it’s about what you believe you’re allowed to have.
Nicole shared:
- The biggest mindset shifts that helped her and her clients become debt-free
- Practical, no-fluff budgeting strategies that don’t require giving up everything you love
- How to create financial safety and still enjoy your life
If you’re tired of feeling stuck financially, constantly second-guessing your spending, or believing that “more money” is the only answer—this episode will show you a new path forward.

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.
