Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, "Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?" and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, "Of course!" Then five minutes later you remember… you've got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week.
This week, I'm sitting down with therapist (and fellow recovering good girl) Diane Lang to expose what's really behind that knee-jerk yes—and why "being helpful" often just means putting yourself dead last.
Saying yes to everyone else isn't what makes you valuable. In fact, the moment you stop making everyone's emergency your problem, you gain more respect and more time for the things you actually care about.
We're breaking down:
• Why "selfish" self-care is actually the least selfish thing you can do
• How to drop the guilt without when saying no
• The sneaky ways control addiction keeps you stuck
• And how to make "no" your new favorite word (without the apology tour)
Listen now and start building a life that doesn't require you to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain why your answer is no.

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.
